Composition

In the last chapter, we reviewed some of the key concepts from functional reactive programming using RxJS, including:

  • Which events an observable propagates
  • What are observables?
  • Review of some important operators:
    • Differences between the map() and flatMap() operators
    • A challenge to emulate an operator from another
    • Filter data
    • Aggregate data
  • Tests for an RxJS program
  • Mitigating the problem of backpressure
  • Combining observables

Paying attention to this review is crucial to have a better and clearer understanding of functional reactive programming, and with this knowledge we are more prepared for more advanced topics, such as some operators from the last chapter:

  • flatMapLatest()
  • flatMapFirst()
  • finally()
  • groupBy()
  • do()

In this chapter, we will learn a final topic before we move on to our final project. Using all the knowledge from this book, we already learned how we can combine observables...
