TL;DR: Subscription event fires too many times.
I have a event set up, that gets fired, when real time data comes in through a socket.
Through console logs I figured out, that the real time data correctly only comes in once. The event that gets fired, when the real time data comes in, also only gets fired once:
console.log("Event publish got fired!");
this.events.publish(EVENTSLUG_STAMP_UPDATE);
I only see this console log once each time the data comes in.
Here comes the weird part: the subscription events triggers multiple times! For each time real time data comes in, it triggers once more.
this.events.subscribe(EVENTSLUG_STAMP_UPDATE, () => {
console.log("Event gets gets handled!");
// Do some code here. This code gets done to many times.
});
So first time real time data comes in I see:
Event publish got fired!
Event gets gets handled!
in the console. Second time, I see
Event publish got fired!
Event gets gets handled!
Event gets gets handled!
Third time I see:
Event publish got fired!
Event gets gets handled!
Event gets gets handled!
Event gets gets handled!
And so on. I’m using socket.io for the real time data. But as I said, filling my code with console logs I came to the conclusion, that only the subscribe event triggers multiple times. Incremented by one each time the event gets published again.
I have found a workaround that works:
this.events.subscribe(EVENTSLUG_STAMP_UPDATE, () => {
this.navCtrl.setRoot('ScanSuccessPage').then(() => {
this.events.unsubscribe(EVENTSLUG_STAMP_UPDATE);
});
});
So I just spent a little while struggling with this as well. The end result for me was that I had the subscribe() on a component which was getting destroyed and recreated as I navigated around the application, but I did not have an OnDestroy event handler on the component with unsubscribe() so every time it got instantiated it added another subscription handler.
NOTE: you must also pass the same event handler to unsubscribe(), see Ionic2: Unsubscribe Event to Avoid Duplicate Entries?
