Chapter 3. Reactive Extension Programming

This chapter will lead readers through the first steps in Reactive Extension (Rx) programming. We will give an overview of the Rx architecture with information on how to configure our application to use the framework and how to use its main components.

We will cover the following arguments:

• Setting up Rx.NET
• Marble diagrams
• Subjects
• Transforming operators
• Combining operators
• Filtering operators
• Mathematical operators
• Logic operators

Tip

The NuGet package names have been changed. The Rx-* and Ix-* packages have been renamed to match their library names, keeping inline with the rest of .NET Core.

• Use System.Reactive instead of Rx-Main
• Use System.Interactive instead of Ix-Main
• Use System.Interactive.Async instead of Ix-Async
