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.
