|  | * Buffers the source Observable values until `closingNotifier` emits. | 
|  | * | 
|  | * <span class="informal">Collects values from the past as an array, and emits | 
|  | * that array only when another Observable emits.</span> | 
|  | * | 
|  | *  | 
|  | * | 
|  | * Buffers the incoming Observable values until the given `closingNotifier` | 
|  | * Observable emits a value, at which point it emits the buffer on the output | 
|  | * Observable and starts a new buffer internally, awaiting the next time | 
|  | * `closingNotifier` emits. | 
|  | * | 
|  | * ## Example | 
|  | * | 
|  | * On every click, emit array of most recent interval events | 
|  | * | 
|  | * ```ts | 
|  | * import { fromEvent, interval } from 'rxjs'; | 
|  | * import { buffer } from 'rxjs/operators'; | 
|  | * | 
|  | * const clicks = fromEvent(document, 'click'); | 
|  | * const intervalEvents = interval(1000); | 
|  | * const buffered = intervalEvents.pipe(buffer(clicks)); | 
|  | * buffered.subscribe(x => console.log(x)); | 
|  | * ``` |

|  | * | 
|  | * @param {Observable<any>} closingNotifier An Observable that signals the | 
|  | * buffer to be emitted on the output Observable. | 
|  | * @return {Observable<T[]>} An Observable of buffers, which are arrays of | 
|  | * values. |
