how to use the valueof function from the rxjs library in javascript

The valueOf() function is used to extract the primitive value of an Observable, which can be useful in some scenarios. The rxjs library provides a range of functions and operators to work with Observables. Here's how you can use the valueOf() function to extract the primitive value of an Observable:

index.tsx
import { of } from 'rxjs';

const myObservable = of('Hello World');
const myValue = myObservable.valueOf();
console.log(myValue);
130 chars
6 lines

In the code above, we first import the of function from the rxjs library. We then create an Observable called myObservable that emits a string value of 'Hello World'. Finally, we use the valueOf() function to extract the primitive value of the Observable and store it in the myValue variable. We then log the value to the console, which should output 'Hello World'.

Note that the valueOf() function should only be used on Observables that emit a single value. If the Observable emits multiple values, calling valueOf() will result in an error.
