# rxjs-react-component
A component allowing you to change state using observables

### Install
`npm install rxjs-react-component`

Depends on React and rxjs

### Howto
By convention all methods defined with a `$` at the end will expose an observable instead. If you return the observable it is expected to map to an object. This object will be run with `this.setState(mappedObservableObject)` and cause a render on the component.

```js
import React from 'react';
import ObservableComponent from 'rxjs-react-component';

class MyComponent extends ObservableComponent {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {count: 0};
}
onClick$(observable) {
return observable.map(() => ({count: this.state.count + 1}));
}
render() {
return (


Hello world ({this.state.count})


Increase

);
}
}
```

You can create complex state changes by merging multiple observables.

```js
import React from 'react';
import ObservableComponent from 'rxjs-react-component';
import {Observable} from 'rxjs';

class MyComponent extends ObservableComponent {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {count: 0};
}
onClick$(observable) {
const increase$ = observable.map(() => ({count: this.state.count + 1}));
const delayedIncrease$ = observable.delay(200).map(() => ({count: this.state.count + 1}));
return Observable.merge(
increase$,
delayedIncrease$
);
}
render() {
return (


Hello world ({this.state.count})


Increase

);
}
}
```

You can also hook on to life-cycle hooks using the same naming convention. Not all of these should cause a new render of the component and you handle that by just not returning the observable.

```js
import React from 'react';
import ObservableComponent from 'rxjs-react-component';

class MyComponent extends ObservableComponent {
componentWillUpdate$(observable) {
observable.forEach({nextProps} => console.log(nextProps));
}
render() {
return (


Hello world



);
}
}
```
