map

signature: map(project: Function, thisArg: any): Observable

Apply projection with each value from source.

Examples

Example 1: Add 10 to each number

( StackBlitz | jsBin | jsFiddle )

// RxJS v6+
import { from } from 'rxjs';
import { map } from 'rxjs/operators';

//emit (1,2,3,4,5)
const source = from([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]);
//add 10 to each value
const example = source.pipe(map(val => val + 10));
//output: 11,12,13,14,15
const subscribe = example.subscribe(val => console.log(val));

Example 2: Map to single property

( StackBlitz | jsBin | jsFiddle )

// RxJS v6+
import { from } from 'rxjs';
import { map } from 'rxjs/operators';

//emit ({name: 'Joe', age: 30}, {name: 'Frank', age: 20},{name: 'Ryan', age: 50})
const source = from([
  { name: 'Joe', age: 30 },
  { name: 'Frank', age: 20 },
  { name: 'Ryan', age: 50 }
]);
//grab each persons name, could also use pluck for this scenario
const example = source.pipe(map(({ name }) => name));
//output: "Joe","Frank","Ryan"
const subscribe = example.subscribe(val => console.log(val));
