Dive into RxJS Jeremy Fairbank @elpapapollo / jfairbank Observables
Software is broken. We are here to fix it. Say

Async
Async API Callback
Callback fetchUserById(1, function(err, user) { if (err) { console.error('Could not
retrieve user'); } else { console.log(user); } });
}); }); }); }); }); }); Callback Callback Callback Callback
Callback Callback
function fetchCustomerNameForOrder(orderId, done, fail) { fetchOrder(orderId, function(err, order) { if
(err) { logError(err); fail(err); } else { fetchCustomer( order.customerId, function(err, customer) { if (err) { logError(err); fail(err); } else { done(customer.name); } } ); } }); }
function fetchCustomerNameForOrder(orderId, done, fail) { fetchOrder(orderId, function(err, order) { if

Async API ?
Promise function fetchCustomerNameForOrder(orderId) { return fetchOrder(orderId) .then(order => fetchCustomer(order.customerId)) .then(customer
=> customer.name); }
.then(...) .then(...) .then(...) .then(...) .then(...) .then(...) .then(...) .then(...)
Error Error Error Error
function fetchCustomerNameForOrder(orderId) { return fetchOrder(orderId) .then(order => fetchCustomer(order.customerId)) .then(customer =>
customer.name) .catch(err => { logError(err); throw err; }); }
Getting there…
• More readable and maintainable async code • Better error
handling • More declarative and versatile syntax • Capable of handling events, streams, and HTTP
RxJS Observables
Arrays [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ] Sequences in
space
Observables Sequences in time 1 2 3 4 5

Declarative Transformation Operate on events

Observable.of(1, 2, 3) console.log n * 2 map subscribe 6
Observable.of(1, 2, 3) console.log n * 2 map subscribe 6

Async HTTP
