transforming the values emitted by observables. We made our first operator called multiplyBy, which looks a bit useful, but in practice we don't need it because it's too specific: it only does simple multiplication on numbers. In this lesson we will see how the map() operator is useful for any calculation on delivered values.
🚨 Since we are importing interval
from RxJS, we don't need to preface our Observables with Rx.Observable
. You can no longer .{operator}
, you need to .pipe({operator})
instead.
would we actually monkey patch Observable with our own methods in reality? I'm guessing this is just rhetorical/socratic.
