Chain Actions in an Effect in @ngrx

I am having some trouble chaining actions one after the other in an Effect that makes an HTTP-request.

Here's the Effect code:

export class UserEffects {

    @Effect()
    update$: Observable<Action> = this.actions$.ofType(user.USERCHANGE).pipe(
        switchMap(data => this.authService.login(data['payload'])),
        map(userInfo => new UserChangedAction(userInfo)),
        tap(() => this.store.dispatch(
             new LoginStateChangeAction(localStorage.getItem('token')))
        )
    );

    constructor(private authService: AuthService, private actions$: Actions,
        public store: Store<fromRoot.State>) {}
}

The problem is both the actions are being called simultaneously. The LoginStateChange action depends on UserChanged action to complete.

How can I achieve this?

Thanks!

You can try such combination - UserChangedAction.switchMapTo(LoginStateChangeAction).pipe(stuff). It will wait for UserChangedAction emit and pnly after that will wait for LoginStateChangeAction emit. So it will be one by one.

You can return multiple actions as explained in Austin's post: Dispatching Multiple Actions from NGRX Effects

@Effect()
update$ = this.actions$.ofType(user.USERCHANGE).pipe(
  switchMap(data => this.authService.login(data['payload'])),
  switchMap(userInfo => [
    new UserChangedAction(userInfo),
    new LoginStateChangeAction(localStorage.getItem('token')),
  ])
);
