Welcome to the documentation for IndefiniteObservable, a powerful library for working with observables in Swift. In this guide, we’ll cover everything you need to know to get started with IndefiniteObservable, including installation, basic usage, and advanced concepts.


Getting Started

Before you begin using IndefiniteObservable in your projects, you’ll need to install it. Here’s how:

  • Open your project in Xcode.
  • Navigate to the directory where you want to add IndefiniteObservable.
  • Open a terminal window and run the following command:


pod init

This will create a new Podfile in your project’s directory. Open the Podfile in a text editor and add the following line:


pod 'IndefiniteObservable'

Save the Podfile and then run the following command in the terminal:


pod install

This will install IndefiniteObservable and any required dependencies in your project.


Basic Usage

Once you’ve installed IndefiniteObservable, you’re ready to start using it in your code. Let’s explore some basic usage examples:

Creating an Observable

To create an observable, you can use the create function provided by IndefiniteObservable:


let observable = Observable.create() { (observer: Observer) in
// Emit events here...
}

The Observable.create() function takes a closure as an argument. Inside the closure, you can emit events to the observer using its onNext, onError, and onComplete methods.

Subscribing to an Observable

Once you have an observable, you can subscribe to it to receive its emitted events:


observable.subscribe { event in
// Handle events here...
}

The subscribe function takes a closure as an argument. Inside the closure, you can handle the events emitted by the observable. The event parameter provides access to the event’s value or error.


Advanced Concepts

IndefiniteObservable provides several advanced concepts for working with observables. Let’s explore some of these concepts:

Operators

IndefiniteObservable includes a variety of operators to transform and manipulate observable sequences. Here are a few examples:

  • map: Applies a transformation function to each element emitted by the observable.
  • filter: Filters the elements emitted by the observable based on a condition.
  • merge: Combines multiple observables into a single observable, emitting values from all of them.

To use an operator, simply chain it onto your observable using the dot notation.


observable.map { value in
// Transform value here...
}.filter { value in
// Filter value here...
}.subscribe { event in
// Handle events here...
}

Schedulers

IndefiniteObservable includes a scheduler system, allowing you to control the execution context for operators and observers. Here are a few examples of schedulers:

  • MainScheduler: Executes on the main thread.
  • BackgroundScheduler: Executes on a background thread.
  • TestScheduler: Allows for deterministic testing.

You can specify the scheduler by chaining it onto your operators or using the observeOn method. For example:


observable.observeOn(MainScheduler()).map { value in
// Transform value on the main thread...
}


Conclusion

Now you have a solid understanding of the basics of IndefiniteObservable. You can explore further by referring to the complete documentation and API reference available on the IndefiniteObservable website. Happy coding!
