Light Observable

Build Status Coverage Status Written in typescript Greenkeeper badge npm

Standard implementation of Observables for JavaScript. Requires a Promise polyfill.

Features

  • Standard: fully compatible with the Observable Proposal.
  • Tiny: Observable itself is ~1 kilobyte in gzip (including symbol-observable package). The whole library including ~80 operators and observable utilities is less than 6kb in gzip.
  • Type-safe: written in typescript.
  • Reliable: 100% unit test coverage.
  • Moderate: only standard methods are included to the Observable and Observable prototype + special Observable.prototype.pipe method that allows usage of pipeable operators.
  • Universal: every observable operator is available as an observable creator function. Every observable utility is compatible with any standard observable implementation like RxJS, zen-observable, etc.
  • Documented: see the docs!

Installation

npm install light-observable

Usage

import { Observable } from 'light-observable'
 
const o = new Observable(observer => {
  observer.next(1)
  observer.next(2)
  observer.complete()
})
 
o.subscribe(console.log)
// > 1
// > 2

See Observable proposal for other examples.

Motivation

Because sometimes you just don't need all these tons of classes, dozens of schedulers and countless operators. Only some of them. Someday.

Extras

See the docs to learn about ~80 operators and observable utilities included in this library.

Full list of extras:

Consume

Create

Transform

Filter

Combine

Combine higher-order streams

Slice

Handle errors

Rate limit

Delay

Notice on interoperability

RxJS 6 doesn't use 'symbol-observable' polyfill. This may cause some weird issues with interop depending on the import order. It is recommended to install and import symbol-observable polyfill before RxJS.

See the issue for details.

Originally this was forked from zen-observable. Some of extras are inspired by observable-operators.
