watchExtractedObservable

Watch the values of an RxJS Observable as extracted from one or more composables.

Automatically unsubscribe on observable change, and automatically unsubscribe from it when the component is unmounted.

Supports all overloads of watch.

Usage

import { watchExtractedObservable } from '@vueuse/rxjs'
import { computed, reactive, useTemplateRef } from 'vue'
import { AudioPlayer } from '../my/libs/AudioPlayer'

// setup()

const audio = useTemplateRef('audio')
const player = computed(() => (audio.value ? new AudioPlayer(audio.value) : null))
const state = reactive({
  progress: 0,
})

watchExtractedObservable(player, p => p.progress$, (percentage) => {
  state.progress = percentage * 100
})

If you want to add custom error handling to an Observable that might error, you can supply an optional onError configuration. Without this, RxJS will treat any error in the supplied Observable as an "unhandled error" and it will be thrown in a new call stack and reported to window.onerror (or process.on('error') if you happen to be in Node).

You can also supply an optional onComplete configuration if you need to attach special behavior when the watched observable completes.

import { watchExtractedObservable } from '@vueuse/rxjs'
import { computed, reactive, useTemplateRef } from 'vue'
import { AudioPlayer } from '../my/libs/AudioPlayer'

// setup()

const audio = useTemplateRef('audio')
const player = computed(() => (audio.value ? new AudioPlayer(audio.value) : null))
const state = reactive({
  progress: 0,
})

watchExtractedObservable(player, p => p.progress$, (percentage) => {
  state.progress = percentage * 100
}, {
  onError: (err: unknown) => {
    console.error(err)
  },
  onComplete: () => {
    state.progress = 100 // or 0, or whatever
  },
})

If you want, you can also pass watch options as the last argument:

import { watchExtractedObservable } from '@vueuse/rxjs'
import { computed, reactive, useTemplateRef } from 'vue'
import { AudioPlayer } from '../my/libs/AudioPlayer'

// setup()

const audio = useTemplateRef('audio')
const player = computed(() => (audio.value ? new AudioPlayer(audio.value) : null))
const state = reactive({
  progress: 0,
})

watchExtractedObservable(player, p => p.progress$, (percentage) => {
  state.progress = percentage * 100
}, {
  onError: (err: unknown) => {
    console.error(err)
  }
}, {
  immediate: true
})

Subscription Options

Option	Type	Description
`onError`	`(err: unknown) => void`	Error handler for Observable errors
`onComplete`	`() => void`	Called when the Observable completes

Return Value

Returns a WatchHandle that can be used to stop watching:

import { watchExtractedObservable } from '@vueuse/rxjs'
import { ref } from 'vue'

const source = ref({ data$: null })

const stop = watchExtractedObservable(source, s => s.data$, (data) => {
  console.log(data)
})

// Later, stop watching
stop()
