Unused patched operator in ./src/rxjs.imports.ts: switchMap

[kamok]

I'm getting this error with the switchMap operator.

I have plenty of other operators in rxjs.imports.ts so it's not any other issues except for switchMap.

I DO use switchMap in the application.

Perhaps this is the same problem with the flatMap issue? I'm not sure. I'm going to refactor the code to not use switchMap as the person who used it said they didn't use it for switchMap's intended purpose.

Be ware that this gotcha can effect false positives for unused patches. Similarly, if the observable instance to which the patched operator is applied is not typed as an Observable the static analysis will not consider it to be a use of the operator.

switchMap is not an alias, so this is unrelated to any flatMap issue.

Thank you for clarifying this:

Similarly, if the observable instance to which the patched operator is applied is not typed as an Observable the static analysis will not consider it to be a use of the operator.

This was NOT appended to Observable, but an Angular library object.

I am closing this.

This was NOT appended to Observable, but an Angular library object.

I should have said that the type needs to be Observable or an Observable-derived type. The real problem is when patched operators are used with values that have any as their type. The static analysis won't consider them to be observables.

What was the Angular object that effected the unused error? If it's not any, what is it?

@cartant It was a paramMap from a ActivatedRoute
