RX/JS aka reactive streams
|
|
|
|
RxJS is an implementation for the reactive programming paradigm which implements mostly the observer and iterator
|
|
pattern and follows the functional programming ideas. The pattern actually got a renaissance because it's not completely
|
|
new but has new implementations in many frameworks and languages like Angular, Akka, Spring and many more. Reason for
|
|
that attention actually is (in the javascript world), that observables can be cancelled (by rules too) and observables
|
|
can pass (stream) data on multiple events. Both aspects are not well realizable using promises e.g. and both were also
|
|
detected as a huge limitation in the JavaScript community — and so it's worth to get an understanding for reactive
|
|
programming in general.
|
|
|
|
We at AOE actually use RxJS in combination with Angular and think that it's worth to dive deeper into this paradigm. |
