Combining Signals and RxJS
In this chapter, you’ve seen how Signals and RxJS can help you manage data changes reactively. Both Signals and RxJS allow you to react when values change and create new values by combining multiple data streams or performing side effects based on data changes. So, the following questions might arise: Do signals replace RxJS? And when do I use Signals, and when do I use RxJS?
RxJS can sometimes feel daunting and complex, so some developers might be tempted to replace RxJS with Signals completely. While this might be possible for some applications, both RxJS and Signals have their place within your applications and solve different problems and needs. In many scenarios, you can devise a solution for your problem using Signals or RxJS, but one of the two will do a better job at solving the problem and will handle it with much fewer lines of code. Signals are not here to replace RxJS, yet Signals will complement it and, in many scenarios, work together...
