RxJS 6 / When does tap operator emit a value










2















I've been wondering if it's safe to assume that after the using the tap operator, the side effect inside it has completed.



My use case is with ngrx.



 ...
tap(() =>
this.store.dispatch(new SetValue("Hello World"));

}),
switchMap(() => this.store),
select(state => state.value),
tap(state =>
if (state === undefined)
throw new Error("Couldn't find value");

)


SetValue is an class that implements ngrx



export class SetValue implements Action 
readonly type = SET_VALUE;
constructor(public payload: string)





What I'm trying to implement is to set a value on the store and then check if it's effectively been set.



Can I assume the dispatch has completed after tap operator?

Most operations in RxJS are synchronous so if this.store.dispatch(new SetValue("Hello World")) won't do any async task it probably will work as expected (it's still just a Subject under the hood).



However, you shouldn't rely on this behavior. NgRx might change it's internals and in general it's better not to rely on synchronicity/asynchronicity of RxJS operators (this has already happened in the past in eg. from() from RxJS 4 to RxJS 5).



If you want to make sure something has been set then change your new SetValue("Hello World") effect to emit another action after it's done doing what it needs to do.

  • You probably handle this action in another effect because I guess you don't create an action that does nothing. So when it's done handling SetValue action you map it to another action telling you that SetValue has finished.

  • Adding to what @martin said, the ngrx also recommends us to same. Have Success/Fail action emitted based on the Load/Set Action. Then you can listen to loaded/error states updated by Success/Fail action and decide on navigating away.
