a$:     --1-------3----|
b$:     ----2---4------|
combineLatest([a$, b$])
result: ----[1,2]-[3,2]-[3,4]-|

Example

import { combineLatest, interval } from 'rxjs'
import { map } from 'rxjs/operators'

const price$ = getPrice()
const quantity$ = getQuantity()

combineLatest([price$, quantity$]).pipe(
  map(([price, qty]) => price * qty)
).subscribe(total => updateUI(total))

Common Use Cases

  • React to changes across multiple form fields simultaneously
  • Combine data from multiple API streams into one view model
  • Derive computed state from multiple independent observables
