rx-auto
intelligently combines a set of generic streams (Rx.observable, promises, static values) in "async.auto" style !
IN PROGRESS ! API is being refined on a real project.
The story
Since attending a great talk on reactive programming at dotJS Paris 2015 (oh man time flies…), I investigated in this kind of architecture.
However, manually instantiating and wiring together a set of related streams soon proved cumbersome, requiring a lot of boilerplate code.
Remembering the very convenient async.auto interface to coordinate a set of async tasks, I set of on an open-source journey to offer this great convenience to a RX-based system.
Usage
(fluency with RxJS is expected)
installation
npm install --save @offirmo/rx-auto
This lib is a state-of-the art 2017 module, correctly exposing node, UMD and ES7 flavors in their respective entries in package.json. Modern tooling should be at ease.
For users doing stuff manually:
- several build flavors are available in
/dist
- typescript's companion lib
tslib
is needed (not bundled together to avoid redundancy). Exact instructions are depending your dependency manager -> you'll see errors if not present
Usage / Example
TODO nice schema and corresponding code
Notes
- I tried hard at providing precise, meaningful errors. So experiment: you'll be told what's wrong.
- There is a crude infinite loop detection
- Since Observables are "templates" instantiated on-demand, rx-auto call is synchronous ! If this startle you, go back at RxJS doc to better understand Observables.
