aurelia-rxjs

An Aurelia plugin that allows you to bind to Rx Observables and Rx Subjects or use them as Binding Signals.

How to install this plugin?

  1. In your project install the plugin and aurelia-binding-functions via jspm with following command
jspm install npm:aurelia-rxjs npm:aurelia-binding-functions
  1. Make Aurelia load the plugin by adding the following line to the configure function in the main.js file of your src folder
  export function configure(aurelia) {
    aurelia.use
      .standardConfiguration()
      .developmentLogging();
 
+   aurelia.use.plugin('aurelia-binding-functions');
+   aurelia.use.plugin('aurelia-rxjs');
 
    aurelia.start().then(a => a.setRoot());
  }
  1. If you use TypeScript or use Visual Studio Code the type declarations for aurelia-rxjs should be visible automatically.

Using the plugin (example)

View:

<input value.bind="@rx(twoWayBinding)" autofocus>
<h2>${@rx(counter)}</h2>
<button click.delegate="@rx(onClick)">recompute random</button>
<h2>${random & observableSignal: onClick}</h2>

ViewModel:

import {Observable, Subject, ReplaySubject} from 'rxjs/Rx'
import {computedFrom} from 'aurelia-framework'
 
export class ObservableExample {
  counter = Observable.interval(1000)
  twoWayBinding = new ReplaySubject(1)
  onClick = new Subject()
 
  constructor() {
    this.onClick.subscribe(next => console.log('clicked!'))
    this.twoWayBinding.subscribe(next => console.log(`new value: ${next}`))
  }
  
  // in this example we want to demonstrate 
  // regeneration of the value based on the observableSignal
  // hence we fool Aurelia into thinking it's computed from 'nothing'
  @computedFrom('nothing')
  get random() {
    return Math.random()
  }
}
