Reactive Programming
a paradigm about streaming of async data and propagation of change
Solve problems of async programming (Callbackhell)
Collection of values over time
Pattern
ReactiveX
Think of RxJS as Lodash for events.
Promise vs Observable
- Observable is a collection of any number of things over any amount of time
- not lazy vs lazy
- able to cancel
Observable creation
- DOM Events
- AJAX/Http calls
- Web sockets
const observable$ = from([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]);
//output: 1,2,3,4,5
const observable$ = fromEvent(document, 'click');
const observable$ = interval(1000);
//output: 0,1,2,3,4,5....Helper Functions
Operators
- map/filter/...
- like for arrays
- custom operators
//emit (1,2,3,4,5)
const source$ = from([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]);
//add 10 to each value
const example$ = source$.pipe(map(val => val + 10));
//output: 11,12,13,14,15
const subscribe = example$.subscribe(val => console.log(val));
