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

To use the Subject function from the RxJS library in TypeScript, you first need to import it from the library. Subject is commonly used to create and manage observable streams that can be subscribed to from one or many different locations.

Here's an example of how to use the Subject function in TypeScript:

index.ts
import { Subject } from 'rxjs';

// Create a new subject instance
const mySubject = new Subject();

// Subscribe to the subject to receive its values
mySubject.subscribe(value => console.log(`Received value: ${value}`));

// Emit a value to the subject
mySubject.next('Hello, world!');

In this example, we import the Subject function from the RxJS library and create a new instance of it called mySubject. We then subscribe to the subject with the subscribe method, which takes a callback function that will be called each time the subject emits a new value.

Finally, we emit a value to the subject using the next method. This will trigger the callback function we set up in the previous step and log the message "Received value: Hello, world!" to the console.

You can also chain operators onto the subject instance to modify the value emitted from the subject, or to transform the observable stream in other ways.

For example:

index.ts
mySubject.pipe(
  map(value => value.toUpperCase())
).subscribe(value => console.log(`Received value: ${value}`));

In this example, we are using the pipe method to add the map operator to the subject instance. This operator will convert the emitted value to all uppercase letters before passing it to the callback function. So if we emit the value 'Hello, world!' again, the callback function will log the message "Received value: HELLO, WORLD!".
