import { from } from 'rxjs/observable/from';
import { partition, map } from 'rxjs/operators';
const source = from([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]);
//first value is true, second false
const [evens, odds] = source.pipe(partition(val => val % 2 === 0));
/*
  Output:
  "Even: 2"
  "Even: 4"
  "Even: 6"
  "Odd: 1"
  "Odd: 3"
  "Odd: 5"
*/
const subscribe = merge(
  evens.pipe(map(val => `Even: ${val}`)),
  odds.pipe(map(val => `Odd: ${val}`))
).subscribe(val => console.log(val));

Example 2: Split success and errors

import { from } from 'rxjs/observable/from';
import { of } from 'rxjs/observable/of';
import { merge } from 'rxjs/observable/merge';
import { map, partition, catchError } from 'rxjs/operators';
const source = from([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]);
//if greater than 3 throw
const example = source.pipe(
  map(val => {
    if (val > 3) {
      throw `${val} greater than 3!`;
    }
    return { success: val };
  }),
  catchError(val => of({ error: val }))
);
//split on success or error
const [success, error] = example.pipe(partition(res => res.success));
/*
  Output:
  "Success! 1"
  "Success! 2"
  "Success! 3"
  "Error! 4 greater than 3!"
*/
const subscribe = merge(
  success.pipe(map(val => `Success! ${val.success}`)),
  error.pipe(map(val => `Error! ${val.error}`))
).subscribe(val => console.log(val));
