Asynchronous, Reactive Programming for Scala and Scala.js.
Monix is a high-performance Scala / Scala.js library for composing asynchronous and event-based programs using observable sequences that are exposed as asynchronous streams, expanding on the observer pattern, strongly inspired by ReactiveX, but designed from the ground up for back-pressure and made to cleanly interact with Scala's standard library and compatible out-of-the-box with the Reactive Streams protocol.
Highlights:
- exposes the kick-ass
Observable,TaskandCoeval - modular, only use what you need
- strives to be idiomatic Scala and encourages referential transparency, being built for functional programming, but is built to be faster than alternatives
- it is a Typelevel project
- has deep integration with Typelevel Cats
- designed for true asynchronicity, running on both the JVM and on top of Node.js and the browser, with Scala.js
- really good test coverage and API documentation as a project policy
See monix-sample for a project exemplifying Monix used both on the server and on the client.
The packages are published on Maven Central.
- Current stable release:
2.3.0 - Milestone release:
3.0.0-M1 - Development version:
3.0.0-$hash(see versioning scheme)
For the current stable release (use the %%% for Scala.js):
libraryDependencies += "io.monix" %% "monix" % "2.3.0"Or for the milestone (that works with Cats 1.0-MF):
libraryDependencies += "io.monix" %% "monix" % "3.0.0-M1"Monix 2.x is modular by design, so you can pick and choose:
monix-executionexposes the low-level execution environment, or more preciselyScheduler,Cancelable,AtomicandCancelableFuturemonix-evalexposesTask,Coevaland depends onmonix-executionmonix-reactiveexposesObservablestreams and depends onmonix-evalmonixprovides all of the above
The versioning scheme follows the
Semantic Versioning (semver) specification,
meaning that stable versions have the form $major.$minor.$patch,
such that:
$majorversion updates make binary incompatible API changes$minorversion updates adds functionality in a backwards-compatible manner, and$patchversion updates makes backwards-compatible bug fixes
For development snapshots may be published to Sonatype at any time.
Development versions have the form: $major.$minor.$patch-$hash
(example 3.0.0-d3288bb).
The $hash is the 7 character git hash prefix of the commit from
which the snapshot was published. Thus, "snapshots" can be used as
repeatable upstream dependencies if you're feeling courageous. NO
GUARANTEE is made for upgrades of development versions, use these at
your own risk.
