RxJS: Reactive Extensions For JavaScript

RxJS 6 Beta

FOR V 5.X PLEASE GO TO STABLE BRANCH

Reactive Extensions Library for JavaScript. This is a rewrite of Reactive-Extensions/RxJS and is the latest production-ready version of RxJS. This rewrite is meant to have better performance, better modularity, better debuggable call stacks, while staying mostly backwards compatible, with some breaking changes that reduce the API surface.

Versions In This Repository

master - This all of the current, unreleased work, which is against v6 of RxJS right now
stable - This is the branch for the latest version you'd get if you do npm install rxjs, (currently this is 5.5)

Installation and Usage

ES6 via npm

npm install rxjs@beta

To import only what you need by patching (this is useful for size-sensitive bundling):

import { Observable, Subject, ReplaySubject, from, of, range } from 'rxjs';
import { map, filter, switchMap } from 'rxjs/operators';

range(1, 200)
  .pipe(filter(x => x % 2 === 1), map(x => x + x))
  .subscribe(x => console.log(x));

Alternatively, you can use the built-in pipe method on Observables. See pipeable operators for more information.

CommonJS via npm

To install this library for CommonJS (CJS) usage, use the following command:

npm install rxjs@beta

(Note: destructuring available in Node 8+)

const { Observable, Subject, ReplaySubject, from, of, range } = require('rxjs');
const { map, filter, switchMap } = require('rxjs/operators');

range(1, 200)
  .pipe(filter(x => x % 2 === 1), map(x => x + x))
  .subscribe(x => console.log(x));

CDN

For CDN, you can use unpkg:

https://unpkg.com/rxjs/bundles/rxjs.umd.min.js

The global namespace for rxjs is rxjs:

const { Observable, Subject, ReplaySubject, from, of, range } = rxjs;
const { map, filter, switchMap } = rxjs.operators;

range(1, 200)
  .pipe(filter(x => x % 2 === 1), map(x => x + x))
  .subscribe(x => console.log(x));

Goals

Smaller overall bundles sizes
Provide better performance than preceding versions of RxJS
To model/follow the Observable Spec Proposal to the observable.
Provide more modular file structure in a variety of formats
Provide more debuggable call stacks than preceding versions of RxJS

Building/Testing

npm run build_all - builds everything
npm test - runs tests

npm run info will list available scripts (there are a lot LOL)

Performance Tests

Run npm run build_perf or npm run perf to run the performance tests with protractor.

Run npm run perf_micro [operator] to run micro performance test benchmarking operator.

Adding documentation

RxNext uses ESDoc to generate API documentation. Refer to ESDoc's documentation for syntax. Run npm run build_docs to generate.

At the moment we are trying to improve the documentation. For this purpose the Documentation is in a seperate GitHub Repostory. For a quick instruction take a look at the documentation guidelines. We are really happy about any type of contributions!

Generating PNG marble diagrams

The script npm run tests2png requires some native packages installed locally: imagemagick, graphicsmagick, and ghostscript.

For Mac OS X with Homebrew:

brew install imagemagick
brew install graphicsmagick
brew install ghostscript
You may need to install the Ghostscript fonts manually:
- Download the tarball from the gs-fonts project
- mkdir -p /usr/local/share/ghostscript && tar zxvf /path/to/ghostscript-fonts.tar.gz -C /usr/local/share/ghostscript

For Debian Linux:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:dhor/myway
apt-get install imagemagick
apt-get install graphicsmagick
apt-get install ghostscript
