Angular/RxJs When should I unsubscribe from `Subscription`

Question

When should I store the Subscription instances and invoke unsubscribe() during the NgOnDestroy life cycle and when can I simply ignore them?

Answer 1

in SPA application at ngOnDestroy function (angular lifeCycle) For each subscribe you need to unsubscribe it. advantage => to prevent the state from becoming too heavy.

for example: in component1 :

import {UserService} from './user.service';

private user = {name: 'test', id: 1}

constructor(public userService: UserService) {
    this.userService.onUserChange.next(this.user);
}

in service:

import {BehaviorSubject} from 'rxjs/BehaviorSubject';

public onUserChange: BehaviorSubject = new BehaviorSubject({});

in component2:

import {Subscription} from 'rxjs/Subscription';
import {UserService} from './user.service';

private onUserChange: Subscription;

constructor(public userService: UserService) {
    this.onUserChange = this.userService.onUserChange.subscribe(user => {
        console.log(user);
    });
}

public ngOnDestroy(): void {
    // note: Here you have to be sure to unsubscribe to the subscribe item!
    this.onUserChange.unsubscribe();
}
