Description

Dive into the world of RxJS with our intensive workshop designed to equip you with all the necessary knowledge and tools to harness the power of reactive programming:

Understanding RxJS Primitives: Uncover the difference between Subject and Observable, convert Promise APIs to Observable, and learn about optimal subscribing strategies and the execution context of Observables.

Maintainable error handling and resilient data streams are a difficult but essential part of every vital application. The way we shape our state and the derived data streams is admittedly a matter of deep architecture knowledge, but also it involves dealing with the low-level problems of multicasting and shared state.

To ensure we are safe from regressions, different testing approaches should be employed. Therefore, we will take a closer look at those and implement marble tests to cover teardown logic and avoid memory leaks over tests.

Concepts & Marble Diagrams: Explore useful RxJS learning tools, understand how to read marble diagrams, and delve into various observable and operator types.

Operator Groups: Get hands-on with transform operators, learn about filtering, completion, error handling, and explore the top 4 flattening operators.

Subjects: Understand the producer-consumer pattern with Observers and Subscribers and explore the basic Subject types including Subject and BehaviorSubject.

Reactive Building Blocks: Discover how to manage state with streams, notify with events, and execute logic based on state or events. We'll also discuss the difference between RxJS and Signals.

Custom Sections: Get practical with live-coding sessions in our repositories and in-depth code reviews to refine your understanding and application of RxJS.
