redux-observable
RxJS middleware for handling side effects in Redux applications using observable streams called Epics.
What is redux-observable?
Redux-Observable is a middleware for Redux that uses RxJS observables to handle side effects in a reactive and declarative way. It introduces Epics—functions that process streams of actions to produce new actions—enabling complex async logic, cancellation, and composition within Redux applications. This approach simplifies managing asynchronous operations like API calls, timers, and event handling while maintaining predictable state updates.
Developers building Redux applications who need to manage complex side effects, such as handling API requests, WebSocket connections, or debounced user interactions, and prefer reactive programming patterns with RxJS.
It provides a powerful, scalable solution for side effects by leveraging RxJS's robust operators and streams, offering better control over async flows, cancellation, and testing compared to other Redux middleware like Redux-Thunk or Redux-Saga.
