Hands-On Reactive Programming with Python

Summary

This chapter detailed the different ways to create observables, from either existing objects or custom code logic. The factory operators that we documented are the ones that allow us to start any operator chain in ReactiveX. Of this list of operators, from_, create, and just are probably used the most frequently.

Understanding the difference between cold and hot observables is very important when developing a ReactiveX application. If this notion is not clear to you, you will not understand why some values are received several times on a cold observable or why some values are never received on a hot observable.

The previous chapters already contained examples of observable subscriptions. Now the different ways to subscribe to an observable, ...
