Proverb Permutations

Let’s use rxjs just for fun. Maybe there’s a better operator for this than map.

const p1 = ["tallest", "squeeky", "early", "second"];
const p2 = ["nail", "wheel", "bird", "mouse"];
const p3 = ["hammer", "grease", "worm", "cheese"];

Rx.Observable.from(p1).map((p1v) =>
  Rx.Observable.from(p2).map((p2v) =>
    Rx.Observable.from(p3).map((p3v) => console.log(`${p1v} ${p2v} gets the ${p3v}`))
  )
);

Rmember to use Observable.from instead of Observable.of. of will not split in the array into a stream of individual values. It just emits the enitre array once as one value.

This code results in:

the tallest nail gets the hammer
the tallest nail gets the grease
the tallest nail gets the worm
the tallest nail gets the cheese
