• RxSwift 3.x / Swift 3.x can be found in rxswift-3.0 branch.

Rx is a generic abstraction of computation expressed through Observable<Element> interface.

This is a Swift version of Rx.

It tries to port as many concepts from the original version as possible, but some concepts were adapted for more pleasant and performant integration with iOS/macOS environment.

Cross platform documentation can be found on ReactiveX.io.

Like the original Rx, its intention is to enable easy composition of asynchronous operations and event/data streams.

KVO observing, async operations and streams are all unified under abstraction of sequence. This is the reason why Rx is so simple, elegant and powerful.

• why use rx?
• the basics, getting started with RxSwift
• traits - what are Single, Completable, Maybe, Driver, and ControlProperty ... and why do they exist?
• testing
• tips and common errors
• debugging
• the math behind Rx
• what are hot and cold observable sequences?

• Integrate RxSwift/RxCocoa with my app. Installation Guide

• with the example app. Running Example App
• with operators in playgrounds. Playgrounds

• All of this is great, but it would be nice to talk with other people using RxSwift and exchange experiences.

• Does this exist for Android? RxJava
• Where is all of this going, what is the future, what about reactive architectures, how do you design entire apps this way? Cycle.js - this is javascript, but RxJS is javascript version of Rx.

Here's an example	In Action
Define search for GitHub repositories ...
let searchResults = searchBar.rx.text.orEmpty .throttle(0.3, scheduler: MainScheduler.instance) .distinctUntilChanged() .flatMapLatest { query -> Observable<[Repository]> in if query.isEmpty { return .just([]) } return searchGitHub(query) .catchErrorJustReturn([]) } .observeOn(MainScheduler.instance)
... then bind the results to your tableview
searchResults .bind(to: tableView.rx.items(cellIdentifier: "Cell")) { (index, repository: Repository, cell) in cell.textLabel?.text = repository.name cell.detailTextLabel?.text = repository.url } .disposed(by: disposeBag)

• Xcode 9.0
• Swift 4.0
• Swift 3.x (use rxswift-3.0 branch instead)
• Swift 2.3 (use rxswift-2.0 branch instead)

Rx doesn't contain any external dependencies.

These are currently the supported options:

Open Rx.xcworkspace, choose RxExample and hit run. This method will build everything and run the sample app

Tested with pod --version: 1.3.1

# Podfile
use_frameworks!

target 'YOUR_TARGET_NAME' do
    pod 'RxSwift',    '~> 4.0'
    pod 'RxCocoa',    '~> 4.0'
end

# RxTest and RxBlocking make the most sense in the context of unit/integration tests
target 'YOUR_TESTING_TARGET' do
    pod 'RxBlocking', '~> 4.0'
    pod 'RxTest',     '~> 4.0'
end

Replace YOUR_TARGET_NAME and then, in the Podfile directory, type:

$ pod install

Tested with carthage version: 0.26.2

Add this to Cartfile

github "ReactiveX/RxSwift" ~> 4.0

$ carthage update

Tested with swift build --version: Swift 4.0.0-dev (swiftpm-13126)

Create a Package.swift file.

// swift-tools-version:4.0

import PackageDescription

let package = Package(
  name: "RxTestProject",
  dependencies: [
    .package(url: "https://github.com/ReactiveX/RxSwift.git", "4.0.0" ..< "5.0.0")
  ],
  targets: [
    .target(name: "RxTestProject", dependencies: ["RxSwift", "RxCocoa"])
  ]
)

$ swift build

To build or test a module with RxTest dependency, set TEST=1. (RxSwift >= 3.4.2)

$ TEST=1 swift test

• Add RxSwift as a submodule

$ git submodule add git@github.com:ReactiveX/RxSwift.git

• Drag Rx.xcodeproj into Project Navigator
