What?streams of values over time
+ operations and bindings
© Andy Jacobs, ixor.be 2016 5
Streams
© Andy Jacobs, ixor.be 2016 6
OperationsMost operators operate on a given stream and will return a stream. This allows you to apply these operators one after the other, in a chain.
Each operator in the chain modifies the stream that results from the operation of the previous operator.

Common Operators
// Creatingcreate, just, from, ..// Transformingmap, flatMap, scan, ..// Filteringfilter, skip, take, ..// CombiningcombineLatest, merge, zip, ..// Utilitysubscribe, delay, observeOn, ..// ConditionaltakeUntil, skipWhile, ..// Mathematical & Aggregateconcat, reduce, ..// Connectablepublish, replay, connect, ..

Bindingsbind the stream of values to an endpoint.

Why?You might already be doing some reactive programming
var title: String { didSet { // react to changes in variables view.titleLabel.text = title }}

Heavy lifting
Libraries asRxSwift, ReactiveCocoa, ReactKit, Bond, ..bring so much more to the table.

RxSwift, ReactiveX
In short, using Rx will make your code:Composable ⇠ Because Rx is composition's nicknameReusable ⇠ Because it's composableDeclarative ⇠ Because definitions are immutable and only data changesUnderstandable and concise ⇠ Raising the level of abstraction and removing transient statesStable ⇠ Because Rx code is thoroughly unit testedLess stateful ⇠ Because you are modeling applications as unidirectional data flowsWithout leaks ⇠ Because resource management is easy

Basic concepts• Observable
• Event
• Disposing
• Subjects
• Hot vs Cold
• Schedulers
© Andy Jacobs, ixor.be 2016 13
Observable
Every Observable sequence is just a sequence. The key advantage for an Observable vs Swift's Sequence is that it can also receive elements asynchronously.
© Andy Jacobs, ixor.be 2016 14
Event
Each value in the stream is defined as an event.• Next
• Error
• Completed
© Andy Jacobs, ixor.be 2016 15
Interface
enum Event<Element> { case next(Element) // next element of a sequence case error(Swift.Error) // sequence failed with error case completed // sequence terminated successfully}
class Observable<Element> { func subscribe(_ observer: Observer<Element>) -> Disposable}
Sequences can have 0 or more elements.Once an error or completed event is received, the sequence cannot produce any other element.© Andy Jacobs, ixor.be 2016 16
Disposing
A Disposable is used to disconnect the observable wrapper from its source, causing subscribed observer to stop receiving values from the underlying observable sequence.
error, completed, dispose(), takeUntil
all internal resources that compute sequence elements will be freed

SubjectsA Subject is a sort of bridge or proxy that is available in some implementations of Rx that acts as both an observer and Observable. Because it is an observer, it can subscribe to one or more Observables, and because it is an Observable, it can pass through the items it observes by reemitting them, and it can also emit new items.
© Andy Jacobs, ixor.be 2016 18
Subjects
• PublishSubject
Broadcasts new events to all observers as of their time of the subscription.
• ReplaySubject
Broadcasts new events to all subscribers, and the specified bufferSize number of previous events to new subscribers.
• BehaviorSubject
Broadcasts new events to all subscribers, and the most recent (or initial) value to new subscribers.
• Variable
Wraps a BehaviorSubject, so it will emit the most recent (or initial) value to new subscribers. And Variable also maintains current value state. Variable will never emit an Error event. However, it will automatically emit a Completed event and terminate on deinit.

SchedulersSchedulers abstract away the mechanism for performing work.
Different mechanisms for performing work include the current thread, dispatch queues, operation queues, new threads, thread pools, and run loops.
• CurrentThreadScheduler (default, serial)
• MainScheduler (serial)
• SerialDispatchQueueScheduler (serial)
• ConcurrentDispatchQueueScheduler (concurrent)
• OperationQueueScheduler (concurrent)

Tips
When you are using Rx, first try to compose built-in operators.

Tips
If using some (combination of) operators often, create your convenience operators.
extension ObservableType where E: MaybeCool {
@warn_unused_result(message="http://git.io/rxs.uo") public func coolElements() -> Observable<E> { return filter { e -> Bool in return e.isCool } }}
© Andy Jacobs, ixor.be 2016 26
Tips
Avoid nesting subscribe calls at all cost
textField.rx_text.subscribe(onNext: { text in performURLRequest(text).subscribe(onNext: { result in ... }) .addDisposableTo(disposeBag)}).addDisposableTo(disposeBag)
© Andy Jacobs, ixor.be 2016 27
Tips
Preferred way of chaining disposables by using operators.
textField.rx_text .flatMapLatest { text in // Assuming this doesn't fail and returns result on main scheduler, // otherwise `catchError` and `observeOn(MainScheduler.instance)` can be used to // correct this. return performURLRequest(text) } ... .addDisposableTo(disposeBag) // only one top most disposable
