About Rx

⚠️ This readme describes RxSwift 3.0 version that requires Swift 3.0.

⚠️ If you are looking for Swift 2.3 compatible version, please take a look at RxSwift ~> 2.0 versions and swift-2.3 branch.

Rx is a generic abstraction of computation expressed through Observable<Element> interface.

This is a Swift version of Rx.

It tries to port as many concepts from the original version as possible, but some concepts were adapted for more pleasant and performant integration with iOS/OSX environment.

Cross platform documentation can be found on ReactiveX.io.

Like the original Rx, its intention is to enable easy composition of asynchronous operations and event/data streams.

KVO observing, async operations and streams are all unified under abstraction of sequence. This is the reason why Rx is so simple, elegant and powerful.

I came here because I want to ...

... understand
... install
... hack around
... interact
... compare
... find compatible
... see the broader vision
  • Does this exist for Android? RxJava
  • Where is all of this going, what is the future, what about reactive architectures, how do you design entire apps this way? Cycle.js - this is javascript, but RxJS is javascript version of Rx.

Usage

Here's an example In Action
Define search for GitHub repositories ... 
let searchResults = searchBar.rx.text
    .throttle(0.3, scheduler: MainScheduler.instance)
    .distinctUntilChanged()
    .flatMapLatest { query -> Observable<[Repository]> in
        if query.isEmpty {
            return .just([])
        }

    return searchGitHub(query)
        .catchErrorJustReturn([])
}
.observeOn(MainScheduler.instance)</pre></div></td>
... then bind the results to your tableview 
searchResults
    .bindTo(tableView.rx.items(cellIdentifier: "Cell")) {
        (index, repository: Repository, cell) in
        cell.textLabel?.text = repository.name
        cell.detailTextLabel?.text = repository.url
    }
    .addDisposableTo(disposeBag)

Requirements

  • Xcode 8.0
  • Swift 3.0

Installation

Rx doesn't contain any external dependencies.

These are currently the supported options:

Manual

Open Rx.xcworkspace, choose RxExample and hit run. This method will build everything and run the sample app

CocoaPods

# Podfile
use_frameworks!

target 'YOUR_TARGET_NAME' do
    pod 'RxSwift',    '~> 3.0.0-beta.2'
    pod 'RxCocoa',    '~> 3.0.0-beta.2'
end

# RxTests and RxBlocking make the most sense in the context of unit/integration tests
target 'YOUR_TESTING_TARGET' do
    pod 'RxBlocking', '~> 3.0.0-beta.2'
    pod 'RxTests',    '~> 3.0.0-beta.2'
end

Replace YOUR_TARGET_NAME and then, in the Podfile directory, type:

⚠️ If you want to use CocoaPods with Xcode 8.0 beta and Swift 3.0, you might need to add the following lines to your podfile: ⚠️

post_install do |installer|
  installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
    target.build_configurations.each do |config|
      config.build_settings['SWIFT_VERSION'] = '3.0'
      config.build_settings['MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'] = '10.10'
    end
  end
end

$ pod install

Carthage

Add this to Cartfile

github "ReactiveX/RxSwift" "3.0.0-beta.2"

$ carthage update

Manually using git submodules

  • Add RxSwift as a submodule
$ git submodule add [email protected]:ReactiveX/RxSwift.git
  • Drag Rx.xcodeproj into Project Navigator
  • Go to Project > Targets > Build Phases > Link Binary With Libraries, click + and select RxSwift-[Platform] and RxCocoa-[Platform] targets
