Think of them as a **multi‑value Promise** that keeps sending values until you tell it to stop, where a Promise gives you one value eventually, an Observable can give you many values over time: mouse clicks, search results, chat messages, sensor readings. + +[![Bundle Size](https://deno.bundlejs.com/badge?q=@okikio/observables&treeshake=[{+Observable,+pipe,+map,+filter+}]&style=flat)](https://bundlejs.com/?q=@okikio/observables&treeshake=[{+Observable,+pipe,+map,+filter+}]) + +If you've ever built a web app, you know this all too well: user clicks, API responses, WebSocket messages, timers, file uploads, they all arrive at different times and need different handling. Before Observables, we'd all end up with a mess of callbacks, Promise chains, event listeners, and async/await scattered throughout our code. + +Let's say you're building a search box. You've probably written something like this: + +```ts +// We've all been here: callbacks, timers, and manual cleanup 😫 +let searchTimeout: number; +let lastRequest: Promise | null = null; + +searchInput.addEventListener('input', async (event) => { + const query = event.target.value; + + // Debounce: wait 300ms after user stops typing + clearTimeout(searchTimeout); + searchTimeout = setTimeout(async () => { + + // Cancel previous request somehow? + if (lastRequest) { + // How do you cancel a fetch? 🤔 + } + + if (query.length < 3) return; // Skip short queries + + try { + lastRequest = fetch(`/search?q=${query}`); + const response = await lastRequest; + const results = await response.json(); + + // Update UI, but what if user already typed something new? + updateSearchResults(results); + } catch (error) { + // Handle errors, but which errors? Network? Parsing? + handleSearchError(error); + } + }, 300); +}); + +// Don't forget cleanup when component unmounts! +// (Spoiler: we all forget this and create memory leaks) +``` + +This works but it's fragile, hard to test, and easy to mess up. Plus, you have to remember to clean up event listeners, cancel timers, and handle edge cases manually. + +We've all felt this pain before: + +- **Memory Leaks**: Forgot to remove an event listener? Your app slowly eats memory +- **Race Conditions**: User clicks fast, requests arrive out of order, wrong results appear +- **Error Handling**: Network failed? Now you need custom backoff and error recovery +- **Backpressure**: Producer too fast for consumer? Memory bloats until crash +- **Testing**: Complex async flows become nearly impossible to test reliably +- **Maintenance**: Each async pattern needs its own cleanup and error handling + +Here's the same search box with Observables: + +```ts +// Much cleaner: composable and robust ✨ +import { pipe, debounce, filter, switchMap, map } from "@okikio/observables"; + +const searchResults = pipe( + inputEvents, // Stream of input events + debounce(300), // Wait 300ms after user stops typing + filter(query => query.length >= 3), // Skip short queries + switchMap(query => // Cancel previous requests automatically + Observable.from(fetch(`/search?q=${query}`)) + ), + map(response => response.json()) // Parse response +); + +// Subscribe to results (with automatic cleanup!) +using subscription = searchResults.subscribe({ + next: results => updateSearchResults(results), + error: error => handleSearchError(error) +}); +// Subscription automatically cleaned up when leaving scope +``` + +Notice the difference? No manual timers, no cancellation logic, no memory leaks. The operators handle all the complex async coordination for you. + +This library was built by developers who've felt these same frustrations. It focuses on: + +- **Familiarity**: If you know `Array.map()`, you already understand operators +- **Performance**: Built on Web Streams with pre-compiled error handling +- **Type Safety**: Full TypeScript support with intelligent inference +- **Standards**: Follows the TC39 Observable proposal for future compatibility +- **Practicality**: <3KB but includes everything you need for real apps +- **Flexibility**: 4 different error handling modes for different situations + +## Installation + +### Deno + +```ts +import { Observable, pipe, map } from "jsr:@okikio/observables"; +``` + +Or + +```bash +deno add jsr:@okikio/observables +``` + +### Node.js + +```bash +npx jsr add @okikio/observables +``` + +Or + +```bash +pnpm install jsr:@okikio/observables +``` + +

Some advanced features like `Symbol.dispose` require newer environments or polyfills. + +## FAQ + +### What are Observables exactly? + +Think of them as Promises that can send multiple values over time. Where a Promise gives you one result eventually, an Observable can keep sending values, like a stream of search results, mouse movements, or WebSocket messages. + +### Why not just use RxJS? + +RxJS is powerful but can be overwhelming. We've all been there, 100+ operators, steep learning curve, 35KB bundle size. This library gives you the essential Observable patterns you actually use day-to-day, following the TC39 proposal so you're future-ready. + +### EventBus vs Observable, when do I use which? + +Good question! Here's how we think about it: + +- **Observable**: When you're transforming data one-to-one (API calls, processing user input) +- **EventBus**: When you need one-to-many communication (notifications, cross-component events) + +### How should I handle errors? + +Pick the mode that fits your situation: + +- **`pass-through`**: Errors become values you can recover from +- **`ignore`**: Skip errors silently (great for filtering noisy data) +- **`throw`**: Fail fast for validation +- **`manual`**: Handle everything yourself + +### Is this actually production ready? + +We use it in production. It follows the TC39 proposal, has comprehensive tests, and handles resource management properly.
