/**
|
|
* Converts a higher-order Observable into a first-order Observable by
|
|
* subscribing to only the most recently emitted of those inner Observables.
|

|
* <span class="informal">Flattens an Observable-of-Observables by dropping the

|
|
*
|
|
* `switch` subscribes to an Observable that emits Observables, also known as a
|
|
* higher-order Observable. Each time it observes one of these emitted inner
|
|
* Observables, the output Observable subscribes to the inner Observable and
|
|
* begins emitting the items emitted by that. So far, it behaves
|
|
* like {@link mergeAll}. However, when a new inner Observable is emitted,
|
|
* `switch` unsubscribes from the earlier-emitted inner Observable and
|
|
* subscribes to the new inner Observable and begins emitting items from it. It
|
|
* continues to behave like this for subsequent inner Observables.
|
|
*
|
|
* @example <caption>Rerun an interval Observable on every click event</caption>
|
|
* var clicks = Rx.Observable.fromEvent(document, 'click');
|
|
* // Each click event is mapped to an Observable that ticks every second
|
|
* var higherOrder = clicks.map((ev) => Rx.Observable.interval(1000));
|
|
* var switched = higherOrder.switch();
|
|
* // The outcome is that `switched` is essentially a timer that restarts
|
|
* // on every click. The interval Observables from older clicks do not merge
|
|
* // with the current interval Observable.
|
|
* switched.subscribe(x => console.log(x));
