The Reactive Extensions for C++ (__RxCpp__) is a library of algorithms for values-distributed-in-time. The [__Range-v3__](https://github.com/ericniebler/range-v3) library does the same for values-distributed-in-space.

# Usage

__RxCpp__ is a header-only C++ library that only depends on the standard library. The CMake build generates documentation and unit tests. The unit tests depend on a git submodule for the [Catch](https://github.com/philsquared/Catch) library.

# Example
Add `Rx/v2/src` to the include paths

[![lines from bytes](https://img.shields.io/badge/blog%20post-lines%20from%20bytes-blue.svg?style=flat-square)](http://kirkshoop.github.io/async/rxcpp/c++/2015/07/07/rxcpp_-_parsing_bytes_to_lines_of_text.html)

# Reactive Extensions

>The ReactiveX Observable model allows you to treat streams of asynchronous events with the same sort of simple, composable operations that you use for collections of data items like arrays. It frees you from tangled webs of callbacks, and thereby makes your code more readable and less prone to bugs.

# Cloning RxCpp

RxCpp uses a git submodule (in `ext/catch`) for the excellent [Catch](https://github.com/philsquared/Catch) library. The easiest way to ensure that the submodules are included in the clone is to add `--recursive` in the clone command.

```shell
git clone --recursive https://github.com/ReactiveX/RxCpp.git
cd RxCpp
```

# Building RxCpp Unit Tests

* RxCpp is regularly tested on OSX and Windows.
* RxCpp is regularly built with Clang, Gcc and VC
* RxCpp depends on the latest compiler releases.

RxCpp uses CMake to create build files for several platforms and IDE's

### ide builds

#### XCode
```shell
mkdir projects/build
cd projects/build
cmake -G"Xcode" ../CMake -B.
```

#### Visual Studio 2017
```batch
mkdir projects\build
cd projects\build
cmake -G "Visual Studio 15" ..\CMake\
msbuild Project.sln
```

### makefile builds

#### OSX
```shell
mkdir projects/build
cd projects/build
cmake -G"Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo -B. ../CMake
make
```

#### Linux --- Clang
```shell
mkdir projects/build
cd projects/build
cmake -G"Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=clang -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo -DCMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS="-stdlib=libc++" -B. ../CMake
make
```

#### Linux --- GCC
```shell
mkdir projects/build
cd projects/build
cmake -G"Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=gcc -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=g++ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo -B. ../CMake
make
```

#### Windows
```batch
mkdir projects\build
cd projects\build
cmake -G"NMake Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo -B. ..\CMake
nmake
```

The build only produces test and example binaries.

# Running tests

* You can use the CMake test runner `ctest`
* You can run the test binaries directly `rxcpp_test_*`
* Tests can be selected by name or tag
Example of by-tag

`rxcpp_test_subscription [perf]`

# Documentation

RxCpp uses Doxygen to generate project [documentation](http://reactivex.github.io/RxCpp).

When Doxygen+Graphviz is installed, CMake creates a special build task named `doc`. It creates actual documentation and puts it to `projects/doxygen/html/` folder, which can be published to the `gh-pages` branch. Each merged pull request will build the docs and publish them.

# Contributing Code

Before submitting a feature or substantial code contribution please  discuss it with the team and ensure it follows the product roadmap. Note that all code submissions will be rigorously reviewed and tested by the Rx Team, and only those that meet an extremely high bar for both quality and design/roadmap appropriateness will be merged into the source.
