Since the last update on RxJS Ninja there have been a few new operators added, below are some details and links to StackBlitz demos showing them in action.

Numbers and Math operators

In @rxjs-ninja/rxjs-number the missing toFixed operator has been added, alongside a new custom toHex operator and the corresponding parseHex one allowing hex numbers to be worked with ( such as converting colours)

There are also new operators for some basic math - add , sub , div , mul , mod and pow all allowing you to modify source numbers, all accept a number, or an Observable number source.

Working with Browser Streams

Some new operators have been added to @rxjs-ninja/rxjs-utility that allow interoperability between RxJS and the StreamsAPI . These APIs are not in all browsers but there is an available polyfill .

fromReadableStream

This operator accepts a ReadableStream and provides the emitted values as an Observable, allowing you to use RxJS operators to work with the data.

  • Demo - Using fetch body with fromReadableStream to show partial images
  • Demo - A basic infinite number stream that ticks per second

toWritableStream

This operator accepts a WritableStream . The operator emits the source value and also writes to the stream. The operator takes care of closing the writer when the Observable subscription is closed.

  • Demo - Streams an Observable interval value into a WritableStream with optional ability to stop the writer without ending the Observable subscription.

fromFetchWithProgress

This operator uses fetch to do a HTTP request, instead of the body response it emits either a number which is the current progress, or a Uint8Array containing the final response from the body.

  • Demo Fetches an image and shows a progress bar with the current percentage and once complete shows the image.
