Mastering Reactive JavaScript

Mastering Reactive JavaScript

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

This chapter was very important as it answered two main questions for any programmer using any program paradigm:

  • How can I handle errors in my program?
  • How can I better test my program?

From the error perspective, we learned about the default behavior to propagate errors when using reactive extensions for JavaScript, and which operators we can use when we want better control over these errors.

From the test perspective, we learned how we can test our application in the server and in the browser, and the advantage of decoupled applications for testability as it lets us test smaller chunks of code and easily mock others.

In the next chapter, we will look at some operators which don't fit into any of the previous chapters but are still important. We will also review the examples that we have learned so far.
