Streams of values over time
ReactiveCocoa repo上最简单的一句话对FRP做了本质的描述，而repo本身提供的是APIs of composing and transforming streams of values，而Streams of values的抽象在ReactiveCocoa中应该是RACStream，而composing and transforming是本文的重点。
先解释ReactiveCocoa中的两个基本概念
信号（Signal） a signal is a steam of values，signals can be transformed, combined,etc.
订阅者（Subscriber） a subscriber subscribes to a signal. RAC lets blocks,objects, and properties subscribe to signals
filter
RACSignal *signal = [@[ @1, @2, @3 ] rac_sequence].signal; signal = [signal filter:^BOOL(NSNumber *value) {
return value.integerValue % 2;
}];
[signal subscribeNext:^(NSNumber *value) {
NSLog(@"%@", value);
}];
filter
map
RACSignal *signal = [@[ @1, @2, @3 ] rac_sequence].signal;
signal = [signal map:^id(NSNumber *value) {
return @(value.integerValue * 2);
}];
[signal subscribeNext:^(NSNumber *value) {
NSLog(@"%@", value);
}];
map
merge
RACSignal *signal1 = [@[ @1, @2 ] rac_sequence].signal;
RACSignal *signal2 = [@[ @4, @5 ] rac_sequence].signal;
[[signal1 merge:signal2] subscribeNext:^(NSNumber *value) {
NSLog(@"%@", value);
}];
merge
combineLatest
RACSignal *signal1 = [@[ @1, @2 ] rac_sequence].signal;
RACSignal *signal2 = [@[ @3, @4 ] rac_sequence].signal;
[[signal1 combineLatestWith:signal2] subscribeNext:^(RACTuple *value) {
NSLog(@"%@", value);
}];
combineLatest
combineLatest & reduce
RACSignal *signal1 = [@[ @1, @2 ] rac_sequence].signal;
RACSignal *signal2 = [@[ @3, @4 ] rac_sequence].signal;
[[[signal1 combineLatestWith:signal2]
reduceEach:^id(NSNumber *v1, NSNumber *v2) {
return @(v1.integerValue * v2.integerValue);
}] subscribeNext:^(RACTuple *value) {
NSLog(@"%@", value);
}];
combineLatest & reduce
flatten
RACSignal *signal1 = [@[ @1, @2 ] rac_sequence].signal;
RACSignal *signal2 = [RACSignal return:signal1];
[[signal2 flatten] subscribeNext:^(NSNumber *value) {
NSLog(@"%@", value);
}];
flatten
flattenMap
RACSignal *signal = [@[ @1, @2 ] rac_sequence].signal;
[[signal flattenMap:^RACStream *(NSNumber *value) {
return [RACSignal return:@(value.integerValue * 2)];
}] subscribeNext:^(NSNumber *value) {
NSLog(@"%@", value);
}];
