Custom RxJS Operators for Signal State Synchronization
This expert-level pattern creates a reusable RxJS operator to bridge the gap between reactive streams and Angular Signals. It ensures that every emission from an Observable automatically updates a designated Signal, maintaining structural purity while benefiting from Signal-based change detection.

Breakdown
1
MonoTypeOperatorFunction<T>
A TypeScript type defining an RxJS operator that receives and returns the same data type.
2
tap((value: T) => ...)
The tap operator executes side effects for every emission without altering the stream's data.
3
signal.set(value)
Directly updates the Angular Signal with the latest value from the Observable stream.
