4. Beta 1, 2, 3, 4…!
5. Combine • It provides a declarative Swift API for processing values over time • These values can represent many kinds of asynchronous events • Customise handling of asynchronous events by combining event-processing operators
6. • It’s a reactive framework by Apple Combine
7. Reactive (Rx) Programming
8. Rx Programming • Observer Pattern (publish >> observe) • Operations (dependent tasks) • Simple (yet powerful) Operators like merge, zip, debounce… • Open Source: ReactiveSwift, RxSwift
9. Why we need Rx?
10. Why Rx? • multiple async tasks • better state management • loose coupling of components • declarative & cleaner api

12. Foundation of Combine!
13. Foundation of Combine! • Publisher • Subscriber • Operators (map, flatMap, filter, merge, zip…)
14. Publisher
15. Publisher • emit sequence of values over time • delivers values to one or more Subscriber instances • protocol with two generic types (Output, Error) • completion via .finished or .failure
16. Publisher
17. • Notification Publisher • URLSession Publisher • Just, Future • CurrentValueSubject, PassthroughSubject Free Publishers
18. Subscriber
19. Subscriber • receive emitted values from a Publisher • represents end of the chain of a stream • protocol with two generic types (Input, Error) • can cancel a subscription • Sink, Assign, AnySubscriber
20. Subscriber
21. Publisher Subscriber
22. Subscription
23. Assign
24. Assign
25. Sink
26. Sink
27. subscribe(on:) vs receive(on:)
28. Threading
29. • `receive(on:)` affects downstream events • `subscribe(on:)` affects upstream events • In the example, requests to `$queryPublisher` are performed on `backgroundQueue`, but elements received from it are performed on `Dispatch.main` Threading
30. Lifecycle of Publisher & Subscriber
31. Lifecycle
32. Operators
33. • pre-defined functions (publishers) • used b/w a publisher & a subscriber • transform the stream • map, flatMap, filter, merge, zip, debounce… Operators
34. Operators
35. Map
36. Filter
37. Debounce
38. FlatMap
39. Merge
40. Zip
