I am new to RXJS but what about this.
You can remove {dispatch: false} if you change the tap to a switchMap.
@Effect({dispatch: false})
public waitForActions(): Observable<any> {
const waitFor: string[] = [
SomeAction.EVENT_1,
SomeAction.EVENT_2,
SomeAction.EVENT_3,
];
return this._actions$
.pipe(
ofType(...waitFor),
distinct((action: IAction<any>) => action.type),
bufferCount(waitFor.length),
tap(console.log),
);
}
