Angular RxJS防止双重API调用

Question

I want to re-use the result of an RxJS stream without executing it again.

In a component I have to Input() streams: query$ and category$ . I want to convert that into two streams that share the same API source. Right now it is making two requests. I'd like to have only one request.

Simplified code:

this.searchResults$ = this.query$
  .switchMap((query) => this.httpClient.get(`/whatever?q=${query}`));

this.filteredSearchResults$ = Observable
  .combineLatest(this.searchResults$, this.category$)
  .filter(([ searchResults, category ]) => {
    // Code to make a subset

    return ['a', 'subset'];
  });

I consume both searchResults$ and filteredSearchResults$ in the same component:

<ng-container *ngIf="(searchResults$ | async) as searchResults">
  <ng-container *ngIf="(filteredSearchResults$ | async) as filteredSearchResults">
  </ng-container>
</ng-container>

Now I understand why there are two API calls. I just don't see any way to prevent it.

You might want to use share :

this.searchResults$ = this.query$
  .switchMap((query) => this.httpClient.get(`/whatever?q=${query}`))
  .share(); <-- HERE

this.filteredSearchResults$ = Observable
  .combineLatest(this.searchResults$, this.category$)
  .filter(([ searchResults, category ]) => {
    // Code to make a subset

    return ['a', 'subset'];
  });
