[RxJS] Creation operators: empty, never, throw

This lesson introduces operators empty(), never(), and throw(), which despite being plain and void of functionality, are very useful when combining with other Observables.

 

empty:

var foo = Rx.Observable.empty();
// the same as
var foo = Rx.Observable.create( function(observe) {
  observe.complete();
})

foo.subscribe(function (x) {
  console.log('next ' + x);
}, function (err) {
  console.log('error ' + err);
}, function () {
  console.log('done');
});

//done

 

never(): do nothing

var foo = Rx.Observable.never();
// the same as
var foo = Rx.Observable.create( function(observe) {
})

foo.subscribe(function (x) {
  console.log('next ' + x);
}, function (err) {
  console.log('error ' + err);
}, function () {
  console.log('done');
});

 

throw(): throw a Javascript error

var foo = Rx.Observable.throw(new Error('blooom'));
// the same as
var foo = Rx.Observable.create( function(observe) {
  observe.error('bloom');
})

foo.subscribe(function (x) {
  console.log('next ' + x);
}, function (err) {
  console.log('error ' + err);
}, function () {
  console.log('done');
});
