The ShareReplay operator in RxJS is a great way to improve the performance of your stream by caching expansive operations and side effects and sharing results with new subscribers. However, you should use this operator carefully because it has a hidden pitfall that can introduce memory leaks even though you explicitly unsubscribe from your streams. From this video, you will learn how to use it safely and how it works under the hood. Enjoy watching and sharing this video with your colleagues if you find it useful!

Hello sir, could you please upload your advance reactive form course on udemy, i want to register as I have access of udemy. I request if it possible , please do it... thank you!
I found this quite helpful and would like to see more breakdowns of other operators in this way.
Thank you for your feedback 🙏🏻
Yep, me too
I love how you build the operators from scratch, essentially debunking the implementation behind - making it way easier to understand. Keep up the good work, love your content !
Dmytro has to be the best Angular content creator on youtube, no one puts this amount of effort like him
Dmytro, thank your for Angular videos! Keep up the good work
Thanks you for having the courage to create videos on deep topics with angular and in general frontend.
Please continue this (recreating) approach! Totally love it!
so helpful, i use shareReplay but never knew this issue yet, great thank
Loved this video!! Make one on every operator!!
Great video. Actually had this problem a couple of weeks ago. Figured out that shareReplay(1) is what holds the subscription even after async pipes unsubscribe (because the component is destroyed). Always thought that putting takeUntil() at the end of the pipeline will get rid of it. But this time it was actually the other way around, I needed to put it before shareReplay(1). Just as I wanted to experiment more and find out why is that, your video came out. Thank you. The internal concepts are always good to know, so do indeed continue with these type videos. Thank you :)
I love this approach, thanks again as always !
Thank you for the video, it's very helpful
Approach with learning things from scratch is great
As usual, always with great content. I love this approach as it gives a clear understanding of the internals. Thanks
Great! Thanks, Joseph!
I like this approach, much simpler than just theory
Thanks!
Great channel, nice to see you are covering more advanced topics about Angular and related topics in an easy to understand manner
I would love to see some advanced rxjs video. There are many rxjs operators we use daily, however there are some which I have never used before like: iif, dematerialize, mergescan, windowTime, publish
I also like this kind of videos, it helps me to understand better the code under the hood!
Thanks, Dmytro!
interesting topic, thank you for your work
Very nice. I like this approuch :) Do more your work! Its great :)
Great explanation! Continue using same approach to tear down inner workings of Angular and RxJS
Thank you Dmytro! Always find the videos material interesting.
I like this approach! more of it please!
Your approach is very good and makes things crystal clear
Great approach. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing the knowledge. Great as always.
Well explained!
Thank you! I learned something new!
Very helpful 👍
Your approach to go deep inside argument is awesome.
Go more deep... so we learn more :)
you are great
Glad to to hear that! Thank you for letting me know :)
Loved this approach!
Awesome! Thank you!
Thanks
Wow! Huge thanks for the support 🙌
Great content... Very helpful
Many thanks for the great video.
While the refCount solution is simple to understand, it has drawbacks: sometimes you may want to keep the cache even after the last unsubscription. Can you provide advise on this situation? My guess would be that we should do some kind of takeUntil immediately before shareReplay(1) (as the comment at the very beginning suggested). I think this would work as the conpletion would cause shareReplay's inner subscription to unsubscribe. If you agree, I think this would be a superior general approach to using refCount (as the cache persists even after the last unsubscription).
Very useful!
That was damn helpful, Dmytro! Thanks
Love it, do it more
Very good approach 🎉
Thank you! 😃
great video, love this content! :) please more advanced videos like this
🫡
Liked the approach ❤❤❤
Awesome! Thank you :)
I also like that way when we learn something by doing the same from scratch
using this approach takes the "complexity" of those frameworks away, because it shows, there is no black magic involved.
So taking this approach might be the right thing
Thank you for creating this video! It's helped me realize how much I could improve my previous code. I'm eager to see more content from you.
I recently faced a challenge with applying form controls and validators from a parent form to a custom input element. While I understand that ngModel handles control values, how can I access the validators defined in the parent form within my custom component?
Also, a socket is an example of memory leak since the internal subscription will be left alive even if the component is destroyed, right?
Yes, if the source of the nested subscription would be a socket connection (instead of polling), it would be the same problem.
I like it.
In your example where you have a cache that should keep running (let's say in a service). When the component disconnects, it should still keep a cached version. When the component connects again it will immediately have a value. How and where would you then kill the subscription to that first source. Lets say when the service is destroyed... in my case I have a firebase subscription that I cache in a service. All the components then use that value. How can I make sure that the firebase sub is destroyed?
can you please make video on MicroFrontends?
What happens with late subscriptions when the source Observable doesn't have any subscriptions left? It shouldn't make another http request in this case because the inner ReplaySubject should replay the value, right?
when refcount drops back to 0, the observable should go back to the cold state which means that the http call should be executed when a new subscriber arrives later
is not bad to use nested subscriptions ?
Usage of nested subscription is absolutely fine and you can not avoid it actually because very often our stream might depend on the value from other one. Just make sure that you use proper operators for that (e.g switchMap, etc) instead of doing obs$.subscribe(val => obs2$.subscribe(...))
If the subscriptions cause memory leaks, why Angular can't destroy it by default when onDestroy the component. It's a headache for developers to find the memory leaks
I think this question better to ask angular core team :) But yeah, I understand that this is quite annoying to always keep in mind the memory leaks.
humm, takeUntil before shareReplay won'tbe useful here?
Thanks for your question.
takeUntil + Subject would help, this is true. However, there are a few reasons why I would not do this:
- takeUntil pattern requires more boilerplate because it needs additionally a Subject and onDestroy hook where the Subject has to emit destroy event. You can suggest usage of the takeUntilDestroy operator which is only 1 line, but it will be a one-line-solution only if this operator is used in the constructor/injector context. Otherwise, you have to inject destroyRef or injector and provide it as an argument value for takeUntilDestroy.
- takeUntil + Subject and takeUntilDestroyed operators have also pitfalls that might cause memory leaks and you have to always care about the position of takeUntil in the operator chain. I covered it in this video - czcams.com/video/eJs4EJUOnNE/video.htmlsi=Dqkn1-cmB2BjS_0s
3. takeUntil + Subject solves automatic unsubscription as well as the AsyncPipe, so to me, it is simply confusing to see additional unsubscription logic for the observable managed by async pipe.
@@DecodedFrontend nice, takeUntilDestroyed is a good choice I think, and yeah better use it in the injector context, that's why i like to use declarative approach for the rxjs. Thanks.
takeUntil 1 line
Take until also has its own pitfalls :) You can check it out here - czcams.com/video/eJs4EJUOnNE/video.html
Also, takeUntil should be used along with Subject and ngOnDestroy hook which is already more then 1 line :)
