How to make a sequence of http requests in Angular 6 using RxJS

Question

I\'ve been looking for a solution all over the web, but couldn\'t find anything that fits my user case. I\'m using the MEAN stack (Angular 6) and I have a registration form.

Answer 1

import { HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http';
import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { Observable } from 'rxjs/Observable';
import 'rxjs/add/observable/forkJoin';

@Injectable()
export class DataService {

  constructor(private http: HttpClient) { }

  public requestDataFromMultipleSources(): Observable {
    let response1 = this.http.get(requestUrl1);
    let response2 = this.http.get(requestUrl2);
    let response3 = this.http.get(requestUrl3);
    return Observable.forkJoin([response1, response2, response3]);
  }
}

The above example shows making three http calls, but in a similar way you can request as many http calls as required

    import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { DataService } from "../data.service";

@Component({
    selector: 'app-page',
    templateUrl: './page.component.html',
    styleUrls: ['./page.component.css']
})
export class DemoComponent implements OnInit {
    public responseData1: any;
    public responseData2: any;
    public responseData3: any;

    constructor(private dataService: DataService) {}

    ngOnInit() {
        this.dataService.requestDataFromMultipleSources().subscribe(responseList => {
            this.responseData1 = responseList[0];
            this.responseData2 = responseList[1];
            this.responseData3 = responseList[1];
        });
    }
}
