Subscription

Subscriptions are used in the callback for an Observable. Standard usage is as follows. 

-- Constucts an observable which will emit a, b, c via a subscription
Observable.new(function(sub)
	sub:Fire("a")
	sub:Fire("b")
	sub:Fire("c")
	sub:Complete() -- ends stream
end)

Functions​

new​

</>
Subscription.new(
fireCallback: function?,
failCallback: function?,
completeCallback: function?,
observableSource: string?
) → Subscription

Constructs a new Subscription

Fire​

</>
Subscription:Fire(...: any) → ()

Fires the subscription

Fail​

</>
Subscription:Fail(...: any) → ()

Fails the subscription, preventing anything else from emitting.

GetFireFailComplete​

</>
Subscription:GetFireFailComplete() → (
function,
function,
function
)

Returns a tuple of fire, fail and complete functions which can be chained into the the next subscription. 

return function(source)
	return Observable.new(function(sub)
		sub:Fire("hi")

		return source:Subscribe(sub:GetFireFailComplete())
	end)
end

GetFailComplete​

</>
Subscription:GetFailComplete() → (
function,
function
)

Returns a tuple of fail and complete functions which can be chained into the the next subscription. 

return function(source)
	return Observable.new(function(sub)
		return source:Subscribe(function(result)
			sub:Fire(tostring(result))
		end, sub:GetFailComplete()) -- Reuse is easy here!
	end)
end

Complete​

</>
Subscription:Complete(...: any) → ()

Completes the subscription, preventing anything else from being emitted.

IsPending​

</>
Subscription:IsPending() → boolean

Returns whether the subscription is pending.

Destroy​

</>
Subscription:Destroy() → ()

Cleans up the subscription

TIP

This will be invoked by the Observable automatically, and should not be called within the usage of a subscription.

Disconnect​

</>
Subscription:Disconnect() → ()
