# concatAll

#### signature: `concatAll(): Observable`

## Collect observables and subscribe to next when previous completes.

***

⚠ Be wary of [backpressure](https://github.com/Reactive-Extensions/RxJS/blob/master/doc/gettingstarted/backpressure.md) when the source emits at a faster pace than inner observables complete!

💡 In many cases you can use [concatMap](https://chasethestar.gitbook.io/ko.learn-rxjs/rxjs/operators/transformation/concatmap) as a single operator instead!

### Examples

( [example tests](https://github.com/btroncone/learn-rxjs/blob/master/operators/specs/combination/concatall-spec.ts) )

**Example 1: concatAll with observable**

( [StackBlitz](https://stackblitz.com/edit/typescript-zwtpc7?file=index.ts\&devtoolsheight=100) | [jsBin](http://jsbin.com/nakinenuva/1/edit?js,console) | [jsFiddle](https://jsfiddle.net/btroncone/8dfuf2y6/) )

```js
// RxJS v6+
import { map, concatAll } from 'rxjs/operators';
import { of, interval } from 'rxjs';

//emit a value every 2 seconds
const source = interval(2000);
const example = source.pipe(
  //for demonstration, add 10 to and return as observable
  map(val => of(val + 10)),
  //merge values from inner observable
  concatAll()
);
//output: 'Example with Basic Observable 10', 'Example with Basic Observable 11'...
const subscribe = example.subscribe(val =>
  console.log('Example with Basic Observable:', val)
);
```

**Example 2: concatAll with promise**

( [StackBlitz](https://stackblitz.com/edit/typescript-3w4px3?file=index.ts\&devtoolsheight=100) | [jsBin](http://jsbin.com/bekegeyopu/1/edit?js,console) | [jsFiddle](https://jsfiddle.net/btroncone/w7kp7qLs/) )

```js
// RxJS v6+
import { map, concatAll } from 'rxjs/operators';
import { interval } from 'rxjs';

//create and resolve basic promise
const samplePromise = val => new Promise(resolve => resolve(val));
//emit a value every 2 seconds
const source = interval(2000);

const example = source.pipe(
  map(val => samplePromise(val)),
  //merge values from resolved promise
  concatAll()
);
//output: 'Example with Promise 0', 'Example with Promise 1'...
const subscribe = example.subscribe(val =>
  console.log('Example with Promise:', val)
);
```

**Example 3: Delay while inner observables complete**

( [StackBlitz](https://stackblitz.com/edit/typescript-ft3rbf?file=index.ts\&devtoolsheight=100) | [jsBin](http://jsbin.com/pojolatile/1/edit?js,console) | [jsFiddle](https://jsfiddle.net/btroncone/8230ucbg/) )

```js
// RxJS v6+
import { take, concatAll } from 'rxjs/operators';
import { interval, of } from 'rxjs';

const obs1 = interval(1000).pipe(take(5));
const obs2 = interval(500).pipe(take(2));
const obs3 = interval(2000).pipe(take(1));
//emit three observables
const source = of(obs1, obs2, obs3);
//subscribe to each inner observable in order when previous completes
const example = source.pipe(concatAll());
/*
  output: 0,1,2,3,4,0,1,0
  How it works...
  Subscribes to each inner observable and emit values, when complete subscribe to next
  obs1: 0,1,2,3,4 (complete)
  obs2: 0,1 (complete)
  obs3: 0 (complete)
*/

const subscribe = example.subscribe(val => console.log(val));
```

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://chasethestar.gitbook.io/ko.learn-rxjs/rxjs/operators/combination/concatall.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
