Examples

Example 1: ScoreBoard

var score = 0

$('#plus').click(function(){ score = score + 1; $('#result').html(score); })

$('#minus').click(function(){ score = score - 1; $('#result').html(score); })

var plus = $('#plus') .asEventStream('click'); !

var minus = $('#minus') .asEventStream('click');

var score = plus.map(1)

.merge(minus.map(-1))

.scan(0, function(x, y){ return x + y })

Map

var score = plus.map(1)

.merge(minus.map(-1))

.scan(0, function(x, y){ return x + y })

.merge(minus.map(-1))

Property

a

a.scan('',sum)

"a"

"" "c" "ca"

"c" "t"

"cat"

Seed Value "" + "c"

"c" + "a"

"ca" + "t"

Scan

score.onValue(function(value){ $("#score").html(value); });

Side Effect

var favorite = $('#favorite') .asEventStream('click') .map(2);

var score = up .merge(down) .merge(favorite) .scan(0, sum)

Example 1I: Combining DataStreams

var username =

$('#username').asEventStream('keyup')

.map(inputVal)

function inputVal(ev) {

return $(ev.currentTarget).val() }

Username:

var password =

$('#password').asEventStream('keyup')

.map(inputVal)

Username:

Password:

uValid = username.map(isValid) !

!

pValid = password.map(isValid)

Custom

ion

uValid.combine(pValid, function(a, b){

return a && b

})

Combine

validForm.onValue(function(value) {

$("#submit").attr("disabled", !enabled)

})

Example III: Promises

Bacon.fromPromise

var ajaxCall = Bacon.fromPromise( $.ajax({ url : "meetjs/users.json"}) )

var ajaxCall(query){ return Bacon.fromPromise( $.ajax({ url : "meetjs/?q=" + query})) }

Search:

var search =

$('#search').asEventStream('keyup')

.map(inputVal)

search.map(ajaxCall).onValue(function(value){

value.onValue(function(value){

doSomethingWithResult(value);

});

});

Search:

search.map(ajaxCall).onValue(function(value){

value.onValue(function(value){

doSomethingWithResult(value);

});

});
