Multiple service calls from an Effect link

Use case link

An action to fetch multiple entities at once, but the service has only an endpoint to fetch one entity at a time.

Solution link

Use the RxJS merge operator to flatten all request streams and concurrently emit all values to a single output stream.

 content_paste
refresh$ = createEffect(() =>
  this.actions$.pipe(
    ofType(CustomerActions.refresh),
    exhaustMap(({ customerIds }) =>
      merge(
        ...ids.map((id) =>
          this.customersService.getCustomer(id).pipe(
            map(CustomerActions.getCustomerSuccess),
            catchError((err) => of(CustomerActions.getCustomerFailed(id, err.message))),
          ),
        ),
      ),
    ),
  ),
);
