Tix - A Promise for a Better Reactive Experience

Stream Creation

The following methods are supported for a stream creation:

• Tix.stream(g(sink)) - Manually defining streams. The generator function g receives a sink object with three methods:
  • sink.value(value) - For sending value value into to stream.
  • sink.error(value) - For sending error into to stream.
  • sink.end(value) - For signaling that the stream should end.
• Tix.fromCallback(g(cb)) - Create a stream from a "regular" callback (e.g. cb(val))
• Tix.fromNodeCallback(g(cb)) - Create a stream from a "node-style" callback (e.g. cb(err, val))
• Tix.fromPoll(interval,g) - Create a stream comprised of events generated by function g every interval milliseconds.
• Tix.fromEvent(target, eventName, transform) - Create a stream events out of an event emitter (addEventListener, on and bind are supported)
• Tix.sequentially(interval, sequence) - Create a streams based on sequenced values (repeated infinitely).
• Tix.later(interval, value) - Creatie a one value stream following an interval of interval milliseconds.
• Tix.interval(interval, value) - Creating a recurring constant value stream. Each event is interval milliseconds apart.

Stream Transformation

The following methods are available on every stream, and allow multiple transformation to be applied to it:

• take(n) - Takes n values, then end stream.
• first() - Takes first value, then end stream.
• last() - Takes very last value before a stream ends.
• map(mapper) - Applies a mapper function to stream values.
• filter(filter) - Applies a filter function to stream values, filters stream events accordingly.
• merge(streams) - Merges one or multiple streams.
• delay(milliseconds) - Adds a constant delay to values.
• scan(scanFunctor, seed) - Scans stream value-pairs, and applies a functor to them. If a seed is provided, it is used as the first value, otherwise the scan will beginning running starting the second value.
• onValue(listener) - Registers listener for receiving a stream's values.
• offValue(listener) - Unregisters listener for receiving a stream's values.
• onError(listener) - Registers listener for receiving a stream's errors.
• offError(listener) - Unregisters listener for receiving a stream's errors.
• onEnd(listener) - Registers listener for receiving a stream's end.
• offEnd(listener) - Unregisters listener for receiving a stream's end.
• subscribe(subscriber) - Registeres subscriber for receiving raw Tix events of all types (value/error/end).
• unsubscribe - Unregisteres subscriber for receiving raw Tix events of all types (value/error/end).
