Rx.Observable.prototype.distinctUntilChanged([keySelector], [comparer])

Ⓢ

Returns an observable sequence that contains only distinct contiguous elements according to the keySelector and the comparer.

Arguments

1. [keySelector] (Function): A function to compute the comparison key for each element. If not provided, it projects the value.
2. [comparer] (Function): Equality comparer for computed key values. If not provided, defaults to an equality comparer function.

Returns

(Observable): An observable sequence only containing the distinct contiguous elements, based on a computed key value, from the source sequence.

Example

/* Without key selector */
var source = Rx.Observable.of(42, 42, 24, 24)
  .distinctUntilChanged();

var subscription = source.subscribe(
  function (x) {
    console.log('Next: %s', x);
  },
  function (err) {
    console.log('Error: %s', err);
  },
  function () {
    console.log('Completed');
  });

// => Next: 42
// => Next: 24
// => Completed

/* With key selector */
var source = Rx.Observable.of({value: 42}, {value: 42}, {value: 24}, {value: 24})
  .distinctUntilChanged(function (x) { return x.value; });

var subscription = source.subscribe(
    function (x) {
        console.log('Next: ' + x.toString());
    },
    function (err) {
        console.log('Error: ' + err);
    },
    function () {
        console.log('Completed');
    });

// => Next: { value: 42 }
// => Next: { value: 24 }
// => Completed

/* With comparer */
var source = Rx.Observable.of({value: 42}, {value: 42}, {value: 24}, {value: 24})
  .distinctUntilChanged(function (x) { return x.value; }, function (a,b) { return a !== b; });

var subscription = source.subscribe(
    function (x) {
        console.dir('Next: ' + x.toString());
    },
    function (err) {
        console.log('Error: ' + err);
    },
    function () {
        console.log('Completed');
    });

// => Next: { value: 42 }
// => Next: { value: 42 }
// => Completed
