Angular: how to inject multiple instance of abstract service

Question

I am a bit new to Angular and trying to understand code written by a senior dev. pardon me if I do not follow with the standard communication practice and words.

I have an abstract class abstractDatService with an abstract method getEntities() which have the implementation classes as impl1 and impl2

Implementation class looks like :

@Injectable()
export class impl1 extends abstractDatService{
  
  private entities: Modal[] = [
    {
      id: 1,
      type: "a",
      name: "a1"
    },
    {
      id: 2,
      type: "a",
      name: "a2"
    }
  ];

  public getEntities(): Observable {
    return of(this.entities);
  }
}

Now, in my module, I am trying to inject the service as :

  providers: [
    {
      provide: abstractDatService,
      useClass: impl1
    },
    {
      provide: abstractDatService,
      useClass: impl2
    }
  ]

In this case, when I try to get the entities they return me the entities from impl2 class only and not of impl1

I want the implementation to return both.

Can anyone help me figure out this?

EDIT :

To elaborate

I have the component where I am displaying the data in a way that

HEAD1
Data from impl1 // this line is a common component in which there is a ngFor on observable returned.

HEAD2
Data from impl2 // this line is a common component in which there is a ngFor on observable returned.

The common component is the one that displays Data from impl1 and Data from impl2 Both

As per the comments

Please elaborate. what do you mean with you want them both? Do you mean you want the injected service to be a combination of both, so that getEntities returns the elements from both?

Yes I want to inject in a way that I get data for both models impl1 and impl2

You need to change 2 things.

1st: Your provider definition to include multi: true

providers: [
    {
      provide: AbstractionService,
      useClass: Impl1Service,
      multi: true,
    },
    {
      provide: AbstractionService,
      useClass: Impl2Service,
      multi: true,
    }
  ]

2nd: Handle the multi Injection with array

 constructor(@Inject(AbstractionService) impls: AbstractionService[]) {
    const obs$ = impls.map(impl => impl.getEntities());

    combineLatest(obs$).subscribe(console.log);
  }
