Question 161871 in Firebase Question posted in
An extensive official documentation can be found here.

Can Observable subscriptions be combined in Angular with Firebase?

(1) I have a request in Firebase firestore where I get several ‘nomBu’ strings from a collection. OK

(2) Then, with these recovered ‘nomBu’ strings, I make a second request to get metedata from another collection where the ‘nomBu’ is present. OK

(3) I would like to display data in a dashboard in HTML. OK But I can only get 1 observable result in my dashboard (the last one executed)

My code (1 and 2 and 3)

demandesSaaSEvaluator: Demande[];

fire.collection('businessUnit')
.where('evaluators', 'array-contains', this.auth.currentUserEmail).get() //(1)
          .then(snapshot => {
            snapshot.forEach(doc => {
//for each matching 'nomBu' get his metadata
this.service.getEvaluatorSaaSRequests(doc.data().nomBu).subscribe(actionArray => { //(2)
              this.demandesSaaSEvaluator = actionArray.map(item => {
            
                return { //display in HTML (3)
                  id: item.payload.doc.id,
                  ...(item.payload.doc.data() as object)
                } as Demande;
              
              });
            });
            });
           });

My code (2)

getEvaluatorSaaSRequests(nomBu) { //should be executed several time
    return this.firestore
      .collection('solutions', ref => 
        ref.where('businessUnitOfSolution', '==', nomBu).where('type', '==', 'SaaS')
      )
      .snapshotChanges();
  }

My code (3)

<tbody>
    <tr *ngFor="let demande of demandesSaaSEvaluator; let i = index">
      <td>{{ demande.id }}</td>
      <td>{{ demande.solutionName }}</td>
      <td>{{ demande.nomBu }}</td>
      <td>{{ demande.user }}</td>
    </tr>
</tbody>

With that code I can only display/get one observable result (the last one executed) => I would like to combine all observable subscription results to display the dashboard with all executed request results.

    demandesSaaSEvaluator is reassign every time the observable emit something. If you want to keep the previous values, you should make demandesSaaSEvaluator an array and push a new value every time the callback is called :

    this.service.getEvaluatorSaaSRequests(doc.data().nomBu).subscribe(actionArray => {               
  this.demandesSaaSEvaluator.push(actionArray.map(item => {
    return {
      id: item.payload.doc.id,
      ...(item.payload.doc.data() as object)
    } as Demande;      
  }));
});

    If you want a flat array to displat all the elements in a single list in your template, you can use the spread operator like this :

    this.demandesSaaSEvaluator.push(...actionArray.map(item => {...

    You can zip your observable and return the return the desire result:

    fire
  .collection("businessUnit")
  .where("evaluators", "array-contains", this.auth.currentUserEmail)
  .get() //(1)
  .then((snapshot) => {
    zip(
      snapshot.docs.map((doc) => {
        return this.service.getEvaluatorSaaSRequests(doc.data().nomBu).pipe(
          map((actionArray) =>
            actionArray.map((item) => ({
              id: item.payload.doc.id,
              ...(item.payload.doc.data() as object),
            }))
          )
        );
      }).subsribe(result => this.demandesSaaSEvaluator = result.flat() )
    );
  });
