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('foo');

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

observable$
    .map(text => text + ' bar')
    .subscribe(
        value => console.log(value),
        error => console.error(error),
        () => console.log('Completed')
    );
// LOG: foo bar
// 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$.next('foo'); // Error
@Injectable()
export class BudgetBillService {
    amount$: Observable<number>;
    private budgetBillStateSubject: Subject<BudgetBillState>;

    constructor(private http: Http) {
        this.budgetBillStateSubject = new Subject<BudgetBillState>();
        this.amount$ = this.budgetBillStateSubject.asObservable()
            .map((bbState: BudgetBillState) => bbState.amount);
    }

    get(): void {
        this.http.get('assets/todos.json')
            .map((res: Response) => res.json())
            .subscribe(
                (bbState: BudgetBillState) => 
                    this.budgetBillStateSubject.next(bbState),
                (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'); 

Angular's Async pipe

Subtitle

Tips observables

  • Identify hot observables
  • Use async pipe to clean up hot subscriptions
  • Unsubscribe remaining hot subscriptions onDestroy()
  • Make use of operators like .take(1) to convert a hot streams to cold streams
