Hands-On Reactive Programming with Clojure

Hands-On Reactive Programming with Clojure

By: Konrad Szydlo , Leonardo Borges

Overview of this book

Reactive Programming is central to many concurrent systems, and can help make the process of developing highly concurrent, event-driven, and asynchronous applications simpler and less error-prone. This book will allow you to explore Reactive Programming in Clojure 1.9 and help you get to grips with some of its new features such as transducers, reader conditionals, additional string functions, direct linking, and socket servers. Hands-On Reactive Programming with Clojure starts by introducing you to Functional Reactive Programming (FRP) and its formulations, as well as showing you how it inspired Compositional Event Systems (CES). It then guides you in understanding Reactive Programming as well as learning how to develop your ability to work with time-varying values thanks to examples of reactive applications implemented in different frameworks. You'll also gain insight into some interesting Reactive design patterns such as the simple component, circuit breaker, request-response, and multiple-master replication. Finally, the book introduces microservices-based architecture in Clojure and closes with examples of unit testing frameworks. By the end of the book, you will have gained all the knowledge you need to create applications using different Reactive Programming approaches.

Error handling

A very important aspect of building reliable applications is knowing what to do when things go wrong. It is naive to assume that the network is reliable, that hardware won't fail, or that we, as developers, won't make mistakes.

RxJava embraces this fact and provides a rich set of combinators to deal with failure, a few of which we will examine here.

OnError

Let's get started by creating a badly behaved observable that always throws an exception:

(defn exceptional-obs [] 
  (rx/observable* 
   (fn [observer] 
     (rx/on-next observer (throw (Exception. "Oops. Something went wrong"))) 
     (rx/on-completed observer)))) 

Now, let's watch what happens if we subscribe to it:

(rx/subscribe...
