Rx.Observable.prototype.buffer()

The buffer method periodically gathers items emitted by a source Observable into buffers, and emits these buffers as its own emissions.

Note that if the source Observable issues an onError notification, buffer will pass on this notification immediately without first emitting the buffer it is in the process of assembling, even if that buffer contains items that were emitted by the source Observable before it issued the error notification.

There are a number of ways with which you can regulate how buffer gathers items from the source Observable into buffers:

With buffer closing selector

Rx.Observable.prototype.buffer(bufferClosingSelector);

Returns an Observable that emits buffers of items it collects from the source Observable. The resulting Observable emits connected, non-overlapping buffers. It emits the current buffer and replaces it with a new buffer whenever the Observable produced by the specified bufferClosingSelector emits an item.

参数

1. bufferClosingSelector (Function): A function invoked to define the closing of each produced window.

返回值

(Observable): An observable sequence of windows.

例

With buffer opening and buffer closing selector

Rx.Observable.prototype.buffer(bufferOpenings, bufferClosingSelector);

This version of buffer monitors an Observable, bufferOpenings, that emits Observable objects. Each time it observes such an emitted object, it creates a new bundle to begin collecting items emitted by the source Observable and it passes the bufferOpenings Observable into the bufferClosingSelector function. That function returns an Observable. buffer monitors that Observable and when it detects an emitted object, it closes its bundle and emits it as its own emission.

1. bufferOpenings (Observable): Observable sequence whose elements denote the creation of new windows.
2. bufferClosingSelector (Function): A function invoked to define the closing of each produced window.

返回值

(Observable): An observable sequence of windows.

例

With boundaries

Rx.Observable.prototype.buffer(bufferBoundaries);

Returns an Observable that emits non-overlapping buffered items from the source Observable each time the specified boundary Observable emits an item.

参数

1. bufferBoundaries (Observable): Sequence of buffer boundary markers. The current buffer is closed and a new buffer is opened upon receiving a boundary marker.

返回值

(Observable): An observable sequence of windows.
