Answer 1

Did small adjustment to @jayphelps in order to get that code work for me. Hope this helps to save someone's time.

import { FETCH_USER } from './actions'
import { ofType } from 'redux-observable'
import { map, mergeMap } from 'rxjs/operators'
import { from } from 'rxjs'

const fetchUserEpic = action$ => {
    return action$.pipe(
        ofType(FETCH_USER),
        mergeMap((action = { user: 'redux-observable' }) => {
            const getRequest = (user) => {
                const request = fetch(`https://api.github.com/users/${user}`)
                    .then(response => response.json())
                return from(request)
            }

            return getRequest(action.user).pipe(
               map(payload => ({ type: FETCH_USER_FULFILLED, payload }))
            )
        })
    )
}
