State management?

Observable

"The Observer and Observable interfaces provide a generalized mechanism for push-based notification, also known as the observer design pattern." -RxJS

const observable$ = Observable.of([1, 2, 3]);

observable$
    .subscribe(
        value => console.log(value),
        error => console.error(error),
        () => console.log('Completed')
    );
// LOG: [1, 2, 3]
// LOG: Completed

observable$
    .map(array => array.map(value => value + 1))
    .subscribe(
        value => console.log(value),
        error => console.error(error),
        () => console.log('Completed')
    );
// LOG: [2, 3, 4]
// LOG: Completed

Subject

"An RxJS Subject is a special type of Observable that allows values to be multicasted to many Observers" - RxJs 

const subject = new Subject();

subject
    .subscribe(
        value => console.log(value),
        error => console.error(error),
        () => console.log('Completed')
    );

subject.next('foo'); // LOG: foo
subject.next('bar'); // LOG: bar
subject.complete(); // LOG: Completed
subject.next('foo'); 
const subject = new Subject();
const observable$ = subject.asObservable();

observable$
    .subscribe(
        value => console.log(value),
        error => console.error(error),
        () => console.log('Completed')
    );


subject.next('foo'); // LOG: foo
subject.next('bar'); // LOG: bar
observable$.next('foo'); // Error
@Injectable()
export class TodosService {
    todos$: Observable<Todo[]>;
    private todosSubject: Subject<Todo[]>;

    constructor(private http: Http) {
        this.todosSubject = new Subject();
        this.todos$ = this.todosSubject.asObservable();
    }

    get(): void {
        this.http.get('assets/todos.json')
            .map((res: Response) => res.json())
            .subscribe(
                (todos: Todo[]) => this.todosSubject.next(todos),
                (error: Response) => console.error(error),
                () => console.log('Completed')
            );
    }
}

Streams
are
awesome!

Tips state management

  • Keep state in streams
  • Expose state as an observable
  • Manipulate state by executing actions that push data through streams.
  • Never manually call error/complete on a stream you do not wish to close

Hot/Cold Observable

Hot

Cold

@Injectable()
export class TodosService {
    todos$: Observable<Todo[]>;
    private todosSubject: Subject<Todo[]>;

    constructor(private http: Http) {
        this.todosSubject = new Subject();
        this.todos$ = this.todosSubject.asObservable();
    }

    get(): void {
        this.http.get('assets/todos.json')
            .map((res: Response) => res.json())
            .subscribe(
                (todos: Todo[]) => this.todosSubject.next(todos),
                (error: Response) => console.error(error),
                () => console.log('Completed')
            );
    }
}

Hot

@Component({
    selector: 'q-todos',
    templateUrl: 'todos.component.html',
    styleUrls: ['todos.component.css']
})
export class TodosComponent implements OnInit {
    todos: Todo[] = [];

    constructor(private todosService: TodosService) {
    }

    ngOnInit() {
        this.todosService.todos$
            .subscribe(
                (todos: Todo[]) => this.todos = todos
            );
        this.todosService.get();
    }
}

Subscription

"A Subscription is an object that represents a disposable resource, usually the execution of an Observable." - RxJS

const subject = new Subject();

const observable$ = subject.asObservable();

const subscription = observable$
                         .subscribe(value => 
                             console.log(value)
                         );

subject.next('foo'); // LOG: foo
subscription.unsubscribe();
subject.next('bar');

Hot -> Cold

Tips observables

  • Identify hot observables
  • Keep track of hot subscriptions in components
  • Unsubscribe hot subscriptions onDestroy()
  • Make use of operators like .first() to convert a hot subscription to a cold one. 
const idSubject = new BehaviorSubject(undefined);
const id$ = idSubject.asObservable()
    .do(id => {
        if(isNullOrUndefined(id)) {
            throw badRequest('No id');
        }
    });

function getTodos() {
    id$.first()
        .map(id => {
            return `
                <Todo>
                    <Id value="${id}"></Id>
                </Todo>
            `
        })
        .switchMap(request => http.post('url', request))
        .map(res => res.text())
        .switchMap(xml => xmlToJs(xml))
        .map(obj => objToTodos(obj))
        .subscribe(
            data => console.log(data.todos),
            error => console.error(error)
        );
}
getTodos() // ERROR: Response 'No id'
idSubject.next(1234);
getTodos() // Todos: [..]

What about sharing state?

Tips components

  • Don't abuse the *ngIf directive
  • Create a smart component with router-outlet
  • Create dumb components (children of smart)
  • Smart has access to the REST service and controls its children via a local state service
  • State service contains subjects, observables and setter methods
