Mastering HTTP GET Requests with RxJS in Angular

In the world of modern web development, especially when working with Angular, handling multiple HTTP GET requests efficiently is crucial. A common scenario is needing to loop through an array of string numbers, making HTTP requests for each, and then combining the responses into a single observable stream. If you've faced this challenge, you're not alone, and in this post, we'll clarify how to effectively achieve this using RxJS.

Understanding the Problem

You might find yourself with an array of string numbers, each corresponding to an endpoint you want to call via HTTP GET requests. Your goal is to make these requests concurrently and then gather all the results into one observable stream rather than managing them separately. The typical approach of using .subscribe() inside a loop can quickly become unwieldy, and this is where RxJS shines.

Common Pitfall

Many developers initially attempt to use loops with .subscribe(), which is straightforward but not the best practice when dealing with multiple asynchronous actions. This not only complicates the code but can also lead to wasted resources and unmanageable states.

The Solution: Using forkJoin

The best way to handle multiple HTTP requests in Angular efficiently is by utilizing the forkJoin operator from RxJS. This operator allows you to run a set of observables in parallel and wait for all of them to complete, returning their last emitted values as a single array.

Step-by-Step Implementation

Let’s break down how to implement this solution using your Angular service and component.

1. Modify Your Service

In your service, replace the existing getInfo() method with a new implementation using forkJoin:

Key Changes Explained:

Using forkJoin: Each HTTP GET request is mapped and executed concurrently without nesting subscriptions.

Results Reduction: The map operator is used to transform the arrays of responses into one consolidated array of records.

2. Update Your Component

Next, ensure that your component is set up to utilize this new observable:

3. Displaying the Data in the Template

In your component's HTML, ensure you’re correctly displaying the entries returned from the observable:

Conclusion

With these changes, you've not only streamlined your Angular application but also embraced the power of RxJS for managing asynchronous data flows. By using the forkJoin method, you can efficiently make multiple HTTP requests and handle the responses as a cohesive unit. This represents a cleaner and more maintainable approach to handling API calls in Angular.
