Summary

In this chapter, we delved into a practical demonstration of consuming real-time messages from a WebSocket server in a reactive manner. We first outlined the requirements and provided context for the implementation. Subsequently, we explored the capabilities of WebSocketSubject and described the step-by-step process, from establishing a connection to handling incoming messages from the socket.Next. We applied these concepts to a real-world scenario within the recipe app, gaining insights into best practices for implementing real-time functionality and ensuring robust connection control.

Finally, we expanded our understanding by incorporating a reconnection mechanism in a reactive way, leveraging the WebSocketSubjectConfig and RxJS operators to achieve seamless connection management.

Now, as we approach the final chapter of this book, let’s switch gears and focus on testing Observables.
