how to use the pipe function from the rxjs library in typescript

The pipe() function in RxJS allows you to chain multiple operators together, creating a pipeline that processes values emitted by an Observable.

To use the pipe() function in TypeScript, you first need to import it from the RxJS library along with any operators you want to use. Here's an example of how to use pipe() to transform values emitted by an Observable:

index.ts
import { Observable } from 'rxjs';
import { map, filter } from 'rxjs/operators';

// create an Observable that emits numbers from 1 to 10
const numbers = Observable.range(1, 10);

// define a transformation function to be used in the pipeline
function square(n: number): number {
  return n * n;
}

// use the pipe() function to create a pipeline that first filters out even values, then squares each remaining value
const squaredOddNumbers = numbers.pipe(
  filter(n => n % 2 !== 0), // filter out even values
  map(square) // square each remaining value
);

// subscribe to the transformed Observable
squaredOddNumbers.subscribe(
  n => console.log(n), // logs 1, 9, 25, 49, 81
  err => console.error(err),
  () => console.log('done')
);

In this example, we use the filter() operator to remove even numbers from the sequence of emitted values, and then use the map() operator to square each remaining odd number. The result is a new Observable that emits the squared and filtered sequence of values. Finally, we subscribe to this new Observable and log each emitted value to the console.
