Overview of this book

<p><span id="description" class="sugar_field">Reactive Programming helps us write code that is concise, clear, and readable. Combining the power of reactive programming and PHP, one of the most widely used languages, will enable you to create web applications more pragmatically. PHP Reactive Programming will teach you the benefits of reactive programming via real-world examples with a hands-on approach. You will create multiple projects showing RxPHP in action alone and in combination with other libraries.The book starts with a brief introduction to reactive programming, clearly explaining the importance of building reactive applications. You will use the RxPHP library, built a reddit CLI using it, and also re-implement the Symfony3 Event Dispatcher with RxPHP. You will learn how to test your RxPHP code by writing unit tests. Moving on to more interesting aspects, you will implement a web socket backend by developing a browser game. You will learn to implement quite complex reactive systems while avoiding pitfalls such as circular dependencies by moving the RxJS logic from the frontend to the backend. The book will then focus on writing extendable RxPHP code by developing a code testing tool and also cover Using RxPHP on both the server and client side of the application. With a concluding chapter on reactive programming practices in other languages, this book will serve as a complete guide for you to start writing reactive applications in PHP.</span></p> <h2><span class="sugar_field">Style and Approach</span></h2> <p><span class="sugar_field"><span id="trade_selling_points_c" class="sugar_field">This course consists of a problem solution approach. Each video focuses on a particular task at hand, and is explained in a very simple, easy to understand manner.<br /> This course includes both RxPHP 1 and RxPHP 2. All examples are written for RxPHP 1 because the API is almost the same, we have properly emphasized and explained whenever the APIs of RxPHP 1 and RxPHP 2 differ.</span></span></p>

Basics of Writing Tests Using PHPUnit
We have a quick look at some of the basics we're going to use for the purposes of testing RxPHP code. In this video, we will test asynchronous code. - Look at the code and make few assertions - Test the asynchronous code with the asyncPowIterator function
