There are no silver bullets

Disprove this statement

and prove it too

Hint: Recursion

Congratulations

You just learned how to work with Infinite Sequences

Phase 1

A gentle Introduction to Reactive Programming

Pragmatic

Approach

Code Like Chuck Norris App

Tutorial

Objective

  • Realising how awesome Reactive Programming is
  • Realising how easy Reactive Programming is
  • Realising how familiar Reactive Programming is

Promise

Observable

vs

Observable

wut o_O?

Synchronous

  • Values

Asynchronous

  • Promise
  • Arrays
  • Observable

Array

Observable

[1, 2, 3]

use_array()

----1------2-----3--|

use_observable()

How to use

Promise

  • .onNext(fn)
  • .onError(fn)
  • .onCompleted(fn)

Observable

  • .then(fn)
  • .catch(fn)

}

subscriber

.subscribe(obj)

}

How to use

Operators

  • .map
  • .filter
  • .reduce
  • .scan
  • .merge
  • .
  • .
  • .

}

Array extras API

and much more

Let's write some Code

Observable.create(fn)

(observer) => {

         .

         .

         . 

}

{

     onNext: fn,

     onError: fn,

     onCompleted: fn

}

Observable.create(fn)

(observer) => {

         .

         .

         . 

    return disposable_fn;

}

{

     onNext: fn,

     onError: fn,

     onCompleted: fn

}

When do Observable gets disposed?

When it finishes.   ->   onCompleted

When any error occurs.   ->   onError

On observable.subscribe(obj).dispose()

Observable are lazy

  • Observable carries the computation itself
  • Computation is evaluated when an Observer subscribes to the Observable

More than one async operations

Things get complicated when there are

Observable Factories

  • Observable.create
  • Observable.fromEvent
  • Observable.fromInterval
  • Observable.fromPromise
  • Observable.fromCallback
  • Observable.fromNodeCallback

Bonus

Observable play very well with Promise

We can reuse our Promise in Observable chains. They're treated first class in there.

That's all

For CLCN app

Phase 2

The static site generator

Recene

Markdown

HTML

Markdown

+ YAML

HTML

  • [ ] List files in the posts dir
  • [ ] Parse post level config from file-name
  • [ ] Read markdown files from posts dir
  • [ ] Parse post level config from posts
  • [ ] Convert markdown to HTML
  • [ ] Apply post html to site theme
  • [ ] Delete existing public dir
  • [ ] Recreate empty public dir
  • [ ] Copy theme's CSS over to dest dir
  • [ ] Write final HTML to files
  • [ ] Create index page

 

flatMap

Synchronous DS:

b = a.map(func);
// b = [[1, 2,3], [4, 5, 6]]

b  = flatten(b);
// b = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

// map then flatten
b = flatMap(func);
// b = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6];

combineLatest

zip

reduce

concat

Cold Observable

  • Act like asynchronous functions
  • Every new subscription is like calling that function

Hot Observable

  • Act like event listeners
  • All subscriptions share same source

Cold Observable

Hot Observable

.share()

Thank You

Happy hacking : )
