Programming Concepts and Paradigms

This repository holds our school project about reactive programming with reactiveX. We choose JavaScript/TypeScript to demonstrate how observables, observers and operators work.

Reactive programming background

• Basics idea: asynchronous data streams

  

Observable

Observers

• Hot vs. cold observables
  • COLD is when your observable creates the producer

      // COLD
      var cold = new Observable((observer) => {
      var producer = new Producer();
      // have observer listen to producer here
      });

  • HOT is when your observable closes over the producer

      // HOT
      var producer = new Producer();
      var hot = new Observable((observer) => {
      // have observer listen to producer here
      });

Run the examples

To run the examples make sure you have node.js(tested Version 8.9.3LTS) installed on your system. Run npm install to install the dependencies and run the examples in the console with "node ./src/.js
