rx-op-sliding-window v1.0.2

Description

"Smooth" sliding window operator for RxJS.

slidingWindow(windowSize, scheduler)

Unlike standard buffer and window operators, single input event may be included in several output buffers (see example below).

Think "moving average" if you want a real-life use case.

Installation

Use npm or yarn

npm install --save rx-op-sliding-window
yarn add rx-op-sliding-window

Usage

import { windowLet, windowOp } from "rx-op-sliding-window";

out$ = in$.let(windowLet(100));
out$ = in$::windowOp(100);

or, if you're feeling lucky:

Observable.prototype.slidingWindow = windowOp;
out$ = in$.slidingWindow(100);

Caveats

Be aware that window buffer is kept in the memory. If you're using a very long window with events emitted very frequently, you may run into an large amount of memory being consumed.
