Rx.js And Application Workflow

I've got a web application where I'm using the Rx.js for handling event streams. The app uses a rest api provided by a backend. Mostly I make a subscription for an api call and wh

Solution 1:

Here some some (very rough pseudo-code), but you could do this with retryWhen:

// use Rx.DOM.get for an Observable Ajax GETvar source = Rx.DOM.get('/some/end/point')
  .retryWhen(function(errors) {
    // retryWhen: errors is a stream of errors// whatever observable you return, when it emits, the// observable you're operating on will be retried. (the entire thing)return errors.filter(function(e) { return e.status === 401; })
       // if status is 401, then tell the user to login 
      .flatMapLatest(function() { return doUserLogin; });
  });

// a contrived observable that shows a form and// return a stream of successful loginsvar doUserLogin = Observable.create(function(observer) {
  // show a formvar form = $('.my-form').show();
  // when submit is fired on said form...returnRx.Observable.fromEvent(form, 'submit')
     // send a login over ajax
    .flatMap(e =>Rx.DOM.post('some/url/login', form.serialize()))
});

Hopefully that gives you something to start with.
