Frappuccino

Functional Reactive Programming for Ruby.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'frappuccino'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ git clone https://github.com/steveklabnik/frappuccino
$ cd frappuccino
$ bundle
$ rake install

Usage

Basically, this:

require 'frappuccino'

class Button
  def push
    emit(:pushed) # emit sends a value into the stream
  end
end

button = Button.new
stream = Frappuccino::Stream.new(button)

counter = stream
            .map {|event| event == :pushed ? 1 : 0 } # convert events to ints
            .inject(0) {|sum, n| sum + n } # add them up

counter.now # => 0

button.push
button.push
button.push

counter.now # => 3

button.push

counter.now # => 4

You can also map via a hash, if you prefer:

.map(:pushed => 1, :default => 0)

You can also register callbacks to a Stream. These will executed for each event that occurs in the Stream:

stream.on_value do |event|
  puts "I got a #{event}!"
end

You can combine two streams together:

merged_stream = stream_one.merge(stream_two)

# or

merged_stream = Frappuccino::Stream.merge(one_stream , other_stream)

# or

merged_stream = Frappuccino::Stream.new(button_one, button_two)

You can select events from a stream, too:

stream = Frappuccino::Stream.new(button, something_else)
filtered_stream = stream.select{|event| event == :pushed }

filtered_stream.on_value do |event|
  # event will only ever be :pushed
end
