Overview of this book

If you’re struggling to handle a large amount of data and don’t know how to improve your code readability, then reactive programming is the right solution for you. It lets you describe how your code behaves when changes happen and makes it easier to deal with real-time data. This book will teach you what reactive programming is, and how you can use it to write better applications. The book starts with the basics of reactive programming, what Reactive Extensions is, and how can you use it in JavaScript along with some reactive code using Bacon. Next, you’ll discover what an Observable and an Observer are and when to use them.You'll also find out how you can query data through operators, and how to use schedulers to react to changes. Moving on, you’ll explore the RxJs API, be introduced to the problem of data traffic (backpressure), and see how you can mitigate it. You’ll also learn about other important operators that can help improve your code readability, and you’ll see how to use transducers to compose operators. At the end of the book, you’ll get hands-on experience of using RxJs, and will create a real-time web chat using RxJs on the client and server, providing you with the complete package to master RxJs.

Summary

In this chapter, we focused on the benefits of combining observables; we learned that we can use them to run asynchronous tasks in parallel, avoid code repetition when listening to multiple sources, and improve code reuse and readability.

We also learned different operators to combine and unify observables. The most common and most used observables for doing so are concat(), merge(), and zip().

But we also learned about some other operators to combine observables as they give us more tools to interoperate our code.

Upto now we have just ignored possible errors propagated by an observable. In the next chapter, the focus will be handling these errors and creating tests for our functional reactive applications. So, we will learn detecting errors in observables, handling errors in observables, mocking observables, and testing functional reactive programs.
