Overview​

The Zip operator combines the values from two or more input streams. When at least one value from each source is received, it emits a combined event containing the latest values from each stream.

The output value will be an Array by default, but it can also be configured to emit an Object. In the case of an object, the keys will be the names of the corresponding input ports.

To reset the values on any input port, send a RESET signal to that port.

info

The Zip operator combines values exclusively from active ports, which are input ports with connected streams. For instance, if only one input port is activated, the Zip operator will immediately output the incoming value on that port.
