another-rxrust

why new implementation?

rxRust is a Rust language implementation of ReactiveX, but it is not suitable for complex combinations of observable. For those who use ReactiveX in other languages such as rxjs(TypeScript) or rxcpp, rxRust is a very difficult library.

Therefore, I created another-rxrust, thinking that I needed a library that allows observable to be connected in the same way as other platforms, and that ReactiveX can be enjoyed in Rust.

In addition, ReactiveX may not be the best solution if the purpose is to parallelize heavy processing and speed it up. However, Reactive X is one answer for complex combinations of non-blocking I/O and error handling.

```rust use crate::prelude::*; use anyhow::anyhow; use std::{thread, time};

fn main() { fn ob() -> Observable<'static, i32> { Observable::create(|s| { s.next(100); s.next(200); s.complete(); }) }

observables::fromiter(1..10) .observeon(schedulers::newthreadscheduler()) .flatmap(|x| match x { 1 => observables::empty(), 2 => observables::just(x), 3 => ob().map(move |y| (y + x)), 4 => observables::error(RxError::new(anyhow!("err"))), _ => observables::never(), }) .map(|x| format!("{}", x)) .onerrorresumenext(|e| ob().map(move |x| format!("resume {:} {}", e.error, x))) .subscribe( |x| { println!("next {}", x); }, |e| { println!("error {:}", e.error); }, || { println!("complete"); }, );

thread::sleep(time::Duration::from_millis(600)); }

// next 2 // next 103 // next 203 // next resume err 100 // next resume err 200 // complete ```

Implementation policy

Based on the problems of rxRust, another-rxrust has the following implementation policy.

• It is assumed that the values and functions that can be emitted may be shared between threads.
• Value to emit should be Clone + Send + Sync only.
• Use move to emit values ​​as much as possible.
• Functions should be Fn() + Send + Sync only.
• Default errors use std::any. If features=["anyhow"] use anyhow::Error.
• Prioritize flexibility over memory efficiency and execution speed.

Usage

default

toml [dependencies] another-rxrust = {}

use anyhow::Error

toml [dependencies] another-rxrust = {features=["anyhow"]}
