Answer
takeUntil auto-unsubscribes when a notifier emits. It prevents memory leaks, especially in components with long-living subscriptions.
Quick Answer
takeUntil pattern: create a Subject destroy$ = new Subject(). Use .pipe(takeUntil(this.destroy$)) on every subscription. In ngOnDestroy: this.destroy$.next(); this.destroy$.complete(). This automatically unsubscribes all takeUntil streams when component destroys. Angular 16+ has takeUntilDestroyed() that eliminates the manual Subject. Critical for preventing memory leaks in components with subscriptions.
