Rx.Observable.for(sources, resultSelector, [thisArg])

Ⓢ

Concatenates the observable sequences or Promises obtained by running the specified result selector for each element in source. There is an alias for this method called forIn for browsers <IE9

Arguments

1. sources (Array): An array of values to turn into an observable sequence.

2. resultSelector (Function): A function to apply to each item in the sources array to turn it into an observable sequence. The resultSelector is called with the following information:

   1. the value of the element
   2. the index of the element
   3. the Observable object being subscribed

3. [thisArg] (Any): Object to use as this when executing resultSelector.

Returns

(Observable): An observable sequence from the concatenated observable sequences or Promises.

Example

/* Using Observables */
var array = [1, 2, 3];

var source = Rx.Observable.for(
    array,
    function (x) {
        return Rx.Observable.return(x);
    });

var subscription = source.subscribe(
    function (x) {
        console.log('Next: ' + x);
    },
    function (err) {
        console.log('Error: ' + err);
    },
    function () {
        console.log('Completed');
    });

// => Next: 1
// => Next: 2
// => Next: 3
// => Completed

/* Using Promises */
var array = [1, 2, 3];

var source = Rx.Observable.for(
    array,
    function (x) {
        return RSVP.Promise.resolve(x);
    });

var subscription = source.subscribe(
    function (x) {
        console.log('Next: ' + x);
    },
    function (err) {
        console.log('Error: ' + err);
    },
    function () {
        console.log('Completed');
    });

// => Next: 1
// => Next: 2
// => Next: 3
// => Completed
