Modern JavaScript Applications

By: Narayan Prusty

Overview of this book

Over the years, JavaScript has become vital to the development of a wide range of applications with different architectures. But JS moves lightning fast, and it’s easy to fall behind. Modern JavaScript Applications is designed to get you exploring the latest features of JavaScript and how they can be applied to develop high-quality applications with different architectures. Begin by creating a single page application that builds on the innovative MVC approach using AngularJS, then move forward to develop an enterprise-level application with the microservices architecture using Node to build web services. After that, shift your focus to network programming concepts as you build a real-time web application with websockets. Learn to build responsive, declarative UIs with React and Bootstrap, and see how the performance of web applications can be enhanced using Functional Reactive Programming (FRP). Along the way, explore how the power of JavaScript can be increased multi-fold with high performance techniques. By the end of the book, you’ll be a skilled JavaScript developer with a solid knowledge of the latest JavaScript techniques, tools, and architecture to build modern web apps.

Subscribing to the end of EventStreams and properties


Bacon provides the onEnd method to subscribe to callbacks that will be executed when an EventStream or property ends.

Here is some example code, which shows you how to use the onEnd callback. Place it in the index.js file:

script_start_time.onEnd(function(){
  console.log("Script start time has been successfully calculated and logged");
})

Here, we are attaching an onEnd callback to the constant property, which we created previously. After initialization, the property is ended; therefore, the onEnd callback is invoked. We can register multiple subscribers as well.

Actually, to end an EventStream or property, Bacon internally pushes an instance of the Bacon.End constructor. So, we can also use the Bacon.End constructor to end an EventStream or property.

Let's look at an example of how to use Bacon.End. Place this code in the index.js file:

var custom_stream = Bacon.fromBinder(function(sink) {
  sink(10);
  sink(20);
  sink(new Bacon.End());...
