Showcase
========

In other frameworks a *Publisher* is sometimes called *Oberservable*. A *Subscriber*
is able to observe changes the publisher is emitting. With these basics you're
able to use the observer pattern - let's see!

Observer pattern
----------------

Subscribing to a publisher is done via the .subscribe() method.
A simple subscriber is ``Sink`` which is calling a function with optional positional
and keyword arguments.

.. code-block:: python3

>>> from broqer import Publisher, Sink
>>> a = Publisher(5) # create a publisher with state `5`
>>> s = Sink(print, 'Change:') # create a subscriber
>>> disposable = a.subscribe(s) # subscribe subscriber to publisher
Change: 5

>>> a.notify(3) # change the state
Change: 3

>>> disposable.dispose() # unsubscribe

Combine publishers with arithmetic operators
--------------------------------------------

You're able to create publishers on the fly by combining two publishers with
the common operators (like ``+``, ``>``, ``<<``, ...).

.. code-block:: python3

>>> a = Publisher(1)
>>> b = Publisher(3)

>>> c = a * 3 > b # create a new publisher via operator overloading
>>> disposable = c.subscribe(Sink(print, 'c:'))
c: False

>>> a.notify(2)
c: True

>>> b.notify(10)
c: False

Also fancy stuff like getting item by index or key is possible:

.. code-block:: python3

>>> i = Publisher('a')
>>> d = Publisher({'a':100, 'b':200, 'c':300})

>>> disposable = d[i].subscribe(Sink(print, 'r:'))
r: 100

>>> i.notify('c')
r: 300
>>> d.notify({'c':123})
r: 123

Some python built in functions can't return Publishers (e.g. ``len()`` needs to
return an integer). For these cases special functions are defined in broqer: ``Str``,
``Int``, ``Float``, ``Len`` and ``In`` (for ``x in y``). Also other functions
for convenience are available: ``All``, ``Any``, ``BitwiseAnd`` and ``BitwiseOr``.

Attribute access on a publisher is building a publisher where the actual attribute
access is done on emitting values. A publisher has to know, which type it should
mimic - this is done via ``.inherit_type(type)``.

.. code-block:: python3

>>> i = Publisher('Attribute access made REACTIVE')
>>> i.inherit_type(str)
>>> disposable = i.lower().split(sep=' ').subscribe(Sink(print))
['attribute', 'access', 'made', 'reactive']

>>> i.notify('Reactive and pythonic')
['reactive', 'and', 'pythonic']

Function decorators
-------------------

Make your own operators on the fly with function decorators. Decorators are
available for ``Accumulate``, ``CombineLatest``, ``Filter``, ``Map``, ``MapAsync``,
``MapThreaded``, ``Reduce`` and ``Sink``.

.. code-block:: python3

>>> from broqer import op
>>> @op.build_map
... def count_vowels(s):
... return sum([s.count(v) for v in 'aeiou'])

>>> msg = Publisher('Hello World!')
>>> disposable = (msg | count_vowels).subscribe(Sink(print, 'Number of vowels:'))
Number of vowels: 3
>>> msg.notify('Wahuuu')
Number of vowels: 4

You can even make configurable ``Map`` s and ``Filter`` s:

.. code-block:: python3

>>> import re

>>> @op.build_filter_factory
... def filter_pattern(pattern, s):
... return re.search(pattern, s) is not None

>>> msg = Publisher('Cars passed: 135!')
>>> disposable = (msg | filter_pattern('[0-9]+')).subscribe(Sink(print))
Cars passed: 135!
>>> msg.notify('No cars have passed')
>>> msg.notify('Only 1 car has passed')
Only 1 car has passed
