How to cancel a subscription in Angular2

Question

How does one cancel a subscription in Angular2? RxJS seems to have a dispose method, but I can\'t figure out how to access it. So I have code that has access to an EventEm

I prefer personally to use a Subject to close all subscriptions a component might have at the destroy life cycle step which can be achieved this way :

import { Component} from '@angular/core';
import { Subject } from "rxjs/Rx";

@Component({
  selector:    'some-class-app',
  templateUrl: './someClass.component.html',
  providers:   []
})

export class SomeClass {  

  private ngUnsubscribe: Subject = new Subject(); //This subject will tell every subscriptions to stop when the component is destroyed.

  //**********
  constructor() {}

  ngOnInit() {

    this.http.post( "SomeUrl.com", {}, null ).map( response => {

      console.log( "Yay." );

    }).takeUntil( this.ngUnsubscribe ).subscribe(); //This is where you tell the subscription to stop whenever the component will be destroyed.
  }

  ngOnDestroy() {

    //This is where we close any active subscription.
    this.ngUnsubscribe.next();
    this.ngUnsubscribe.complete();
  }
}
