angular-rxjs-automatic-unsubscribe

A utility package to automatically unsubscribe from rxjs streams when an angular component is disposed of.

Features

• Component mixin implements the angular OnDestroy interface with an ngOnDestroy function - no need to specify or implement yourself
• if you have implemented ngOnDestroy it is still called by the mixin as super.ngOnDestroy().
• Observable unsubscribe pipe operator means that no rxjs classes are altered or augmented
• unsubscribe operator unsubscribes from observable source when compnent is destroyed.
• code fully unit tested and example app demonstrates usage

Usage

npm install angular-rxjs-automatic-unsubscribe

Sample Component

import { ApplyDestroyMixin, unsubscribe } from 'angular-rxjs-automatic-unsubscribe';

class ComponentBase {

    constructor(){
        interval(500).pipe(
            unsubscribe(this.destroyStream),
        )
        .subscribe();
    }
    
    public readonly destroyStream!: Observable<boolean>; // set by mixin. Use ! to avoid strict property initialisation errors.
}

@Component({
    selector: 'sample-component',
    templateUrl: './sample-component.html',
    styleUrls: ['./sample-component.scss']
})
export class SampleComponent extends ApplyDestroyMixin(ComponentBase) {}
