Run() for xstream

Cycle.js run(main, drivers) function for applications written with xstream.

npm install @cycle/run xstream

Note: xstream package is required too.

Basic usage

import {run} from '@cycle/run'

run(main, drivers)

API

• setup
• run

setup(main, drivers)

A function that prepares the Cycle application to be executed. Takes a main function and prepares to circularly connects it to the given collection of driver functions. As an output, setup() returns an object with three properties: sources, sinks and run. Only when run() is called will the application actually execute. Refer to the documentation of run() for more details.

Example:

import {setup} from '@cycle/run';
const {sources, sinks, run} = setup(main, drivers);
// ...
const dispose = run(); // Executes the application
// ...
dispose();

Arguments:

• main: Function a function that takes sources as input and outputs sinks.
• drivers: Object an object where keys are driver names and values are driver functions.

Return:

(Object) an object with three properties: sources, sinks and run. sources is the collection of driver sources, sinks is the collection of driver sinks, these can be used for debugging or testing. run is the function that once called will execute the application.

run(main, drivers)

Takes a main function and circularly connects it to the given collection of driver functions.

Example:

import run from '@cycle/run';
const dispose = run(main, drivers);
// ...
dispose();

The main function expects a collection of "source" streams (returned from drivers) as input, and should return a collection of "sink" streams (to be given to drivers). A "collection of streams" is a JavaScript object where keys match the driver names registered by the drivers object, and values are the streams. Refer to the documentation of each driver to see more details on what types of sources it outputs and sinks it receives.

Arguments:

• main: Function a function that takes sources as input and outputs sinks.
• drivers: Object an object where keys are driver names and values are driver functions.

Return:

(Function) a dispose function, used to terminate the execution of the Cycle.js program, cleaning up resources used.
