Reactive Extensions Library for JavaScript. This is a rewrite of Reactive-Extensions/RxJS and is the latest production-ready version of RxJS. This rewrite is meant to have better performance, better modularity, better debuggable call stacks, while staying mostly backwards compatible, with some breaking changes that reduce the API surface.
Most PRs should be made to master, unless you know it is a breaking change.

npm install rxjs
To import the entire core set of functionality:
import Rx from 'rxjs/Rx';
Rx.Observable.of(1,2,3)
To import only what you need by patching (this is useful for size-sensitive bundling):
import { Observable } from 'rxjs/Observable';
import 'rxjs/add/observable/of';
import 'rxjs/add/operator/map';
Observable.of(1,2,3).map(x => x + '!!!'); // etc
To import what you need and use it with proposed bind operator:
Note: This additional syntax requires transpiler support and this syntax may be completely withdrawn from TC39 without notice! Use at your own risk.
import { Observable } from 'rxjs/Observable';
import { of } from 'rxjs/observable/of';
import { map } from 'rxjs/operator/map';
Observable::of(1,2,3)::map(x => x + '!!!'); // etc
To install this library for CommonJS (CJS) usage, use the following command:
npm install rxjs
Import all core functionality:
var Rx = require('rxjs/Rx');
Rx.Observable.of(1,2,3); // etc
Import only what you need and patch Observable (this is useful in size-sensitive bundling scenarios):
var Observable = require('rxjs/Observable').Observable;
// patch Observable with appropriate methods
require('rxjs/add/observable/of');
require('rxjs/add/operator/map');
Observable.of(1,2,3).map(function (x) { return x + '!!!'; }); // etc
Import operators and use them manually you can do the following (this is also useful for bundling):
var of = require('rxjs/observable/of').of;
var map = require('rxjs/operator/map').map;
map.call(of(1,2,3), function (x) { return x + '!!!'; });
You can also use the above method to build your own Observable and export it from your own module.
To install this library via npm version 3, use the following command:
npm install @reactivex/rxjs
This will include CJS/Global builds and can be used for all module types.
If you are using npm version 2 before this library has achieved a stable version, you need to specify the library version explicitly:
npm install @reactivex/rxjs@5.0.0
For CDN, you can use unpkg:
https://unpkg.com/rxjs@version/bundles/Rx.min.js
*replace version with the current version. See docs.*
var Rx = require('@reactivex/rxjs');
Rx.Observable.of('hello world')
.subscribe(function(x) { console.log(x); });
The build and test structure is fairly primitive at the moment. There are various npm scripts that can be run:
src/ to dist/es6dist/es6 to dist/cjsdist/es6 to dist/amddist/cjs to dist/global/Rx.jsjasmineprotractordist/es6 to dist/docsistanbul code coverage against test casesjasmine, must have built prior to running.npm run info will list available script.
# build all the things!
npm run build_all
Run npm run build_perf or npm run perf to run the performance tests with protractor.
Run npm run perf_micro to run micro performance test benchmarking operator.
RxNext uses ESDoc to generate API documentation. Refer to ESDoc's documentation for syntax. Run npm run build_docs to generate.
The script npm run tests2png requires some native packages installed locally: imagemagick, graphicsmagick, and ghostscript.
For Mac OS X with Homebrew:
brew install imagemagickbrew install graphicsmagickbrew install ghostscriptmkdir -p /usr/local/share/ghostscript && tar zxvf /path/to/ghostscript-fonts.tar.gz -C /usr/local/share/ghostscriptFor Debian Linux:
