The Consumer is a specification of how to consume an observable.

It is a factory of subscribers with a completion callback attached, being effectively a way to transform observables into tasks for less error prone consuming of streams.

The companion object of Consumer, defines consumer builders.

The MulticastStrategy specifies the strategy for building data-sources that are shared between multiple subscribers.

By default observables tend to be cold.

The MulticastStrategy enumerated.

Used by Observable.materialize.

The Observable type that implements the Reactive Pattern.

Provides methods of subscribing to the Observable and operators for combining observable sources, filtering, modifying, throttling, buffering, error handling and others.

See the available documentation at: https://monix.io

Observable builders.

A lawless type class that provides conversions to Observable.

Sample:

 // Conversion from cats.Eval
 import cats.Eval

 val source0 = Eval.always(1 + 1)
 val task0 = ObservableLike[Eval].apply(source0)

 // Conversion from Future
 import scala.concurrent.Future

 val source1 = Future.successful(1 + 1)
 val task1 = ObservableLike[Future].apply(source1)

 // Conversion from IO
 import cats.effect.IO

 val source2 = IO(1 + 1)
 val task2 = ObservableLike[IO].apply(source2)

See Observable.from

The Observer from the Rx pattern is the trio of callbacks that get subscribed to an Observable for receiving events.

The events received must follow the Rx grammar, which is: onNext * (onComplete | onError)?

That means an Observer can receive zero or multiple events, the stream ending either in one or zero onComplete or onError (just one, not both), and after onComplete or onError, a well behaved Observable implementation shouldn't send any more onNext events.

Represents the buffering overflowStrategy chosen for actions that need buffering, instructing the pipeline what to do when the buffer is full.

For the available policies, see:

• Unbounded
• Fail
• BackPressure

Used in BufferedSubscriber to implement buffering when concurrent actions are needed, such as in Channels or in Observable.merge.

Represents a factory for an input/output channel for broadcasting input to multiple subscribers.
