Monix

Asynchronous, Reactive Programming for Scala and Scala.js.

Overview

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, Task and Coeval
• modular, only use what you need
• the core has no third-party dependencies
• strives to be idiomatic Scala and encourages referential transparency,
  but is built to be faster than alternatives
• accepted in the Typelevel incubator
• designed for true asynchronicity, running on both the
  JVM and Scala.js,
• really good test coverage and API documentation as a project policy

Usage

See monix-sample for
a project exemplifying Monix used both on the server and on the client.

Dependencies

The packages are published on Maven Central.

• Current stable release: 2.2.4

For the current stable release (use the %%% for Scala.js):

libraryDependencies += "io.monix" %% "monix" % "2.2.4"

Sub-projects

Monix 2.x is modular by design, so you can pick and choose:

• monix-types exposes type-classes and shims needed for
  integration with other FP libraries (Cats, Scalaz)
• monix-execution exposes the low-level execution environment, or more precisely
  Scheduler, Cancelable, Atomic and CancelableFuture
• monix-eval exposes Task, Coeval
  and depends on monix-execution and monix-types
• monix-reactive exposes Observable streams
  and depends on monix-eval and monix-types
• monix provides all of the above

Optional packages:

• monix-cats provides integration with Cats and
  depends on monix-types and org.typelevel.cats-core
• monix-scalaz-72 provides integration with Scalaz and
  depends on monix-types and org.scalaz.scalaz-core version 7.2.x
