## Quick Start
Add Fluxion to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
fluxion-rx = "0.1.0"
fluxion-test-utils = "0.1.0"
tokio = { version = "1.48", features = ["full"] }
futures = "0.3"
```
### Basic Usage
```rust
use fluxion_rx::prelude::*;
use fluxion_test_utils::Sequenced;
use futures::StreamExt;
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
// Define enum to hold int and bool types
#[derive(Debug, Clone, PartialEq, Eq, PartialOrd, Ord)]
enum Value {
Int(i32),
Bool(bool),
}
// Create int stream and bool trigger stream
let (tx_int, rx_int) = tokio::sync::mpsc::unbounded_channel::<Sequenced<Value>>();
let (tx_trigger, rx_trigger) = tokio::sync::mpsc::unbounded_channel::<Sequenced<Value>>();
let int_stream = FluxionStream::from_unbounded_receiver(rx_int);
let trigger_stream = FluxionStream::from_unbounded_receiver(rx_trigger);
let mut pipeline = int_stream.take_latest_when(trigger_stream, |_| true);
// Send int values - they will be buffered
tx_int.send(Sequenced::with_sequence(Value::Int(10), 1)).unwrap();
tx_int.send(Sequenced::with_sequence(Value::Int(20), 2)).unwrap();
tx_int.send(Sequenced::with_sequence(Value::Int(30), 3)).unwrap();
// Trigger with bool - should emit latest int value (30)
tx_trigger.send(Sequenced::with_sequence(Value::Bool(true), 4)).unwrap();
let result1 = pipeline.next().await.unwrap();
assert!(matches!(result1.get(), Value::Int(30)));
assert_eq!(result1.sequence(), 4);
// Send more int values - these will trigger emissions
tx_int.send(Sequenced::with_sequence(Value::Int(40), 5)).unwrap();
let result2 = pipeline.next().await.unwrap();
assert!(matches!(result2.get(), Value::Int(40)));
assert_eq!(result2.sequence(), 5);
tx_int.send(Sequenced::with_sequence(Value::Int(50), 6)).unwrap();
let result3 = pipeline.next().await.unwrap();
assert!(matches!(result3.get(), Value::Int(50)));
assert_eq!(result3.sequence(), 6);
}
```
### Chaining Multiple Operators
Fluxion operators can be chained to create complex processing pipelines. Here a complete example:
**Example: `combine_latest -> filter_ordered` - Sampling on Trigger Events**
```rust
use fluxion_rx::prelude::*;
use fluxion_test_utils::Sequenced;
use futures::StreamExt;
#[tokio::test]
async fn test_take_latest_when_int_bool() {
// Define enum to hold both int and string types
#[derive(Debug, Clone, PartialEq, Eq, PartialOrd, Ord)]
enum Value {
Int(i32),
Str(String),
}
// Create two input streams
let (tx_int, rx_int) = tokio::sync::mpsc::unbounded_channel::<Sequenced<Value>>();
let (tx_str, rx_str) = tokio::sync::mpsc::unbounded_channel::<Sequenced<Value>>();
let int_stream = FluxionStream::from_unbounded_receiver(rx_int);
let str_stream = FluxionStream::from_unbounded_receiver(rx_str);
// Chain: combine_latest -> filter
let mut pipeline = int_stream
.combine_latest(vec![str_stream], |_| true)
.filter_ordered(|combined| {
// Keep only if first value (int) is > 50
matches!(combined.get_state()[0], Value::Int(x) if x > 50)
});
// Send initial values
tx_str.send(Sequenced::with_sequence(Value::Str("initial".into()), 1)).unwrap();
tx_int.send(Sequenced::with_sequence(Value::Int(30), 2)).unwrap(); // Filtered out (30 <= 50)
tx_int.send(Sequenced::with_sequence(Value::Int(60), 3)).unwrap(); // Passes filter (60 > 50)
tx_str.send(Sequenced::with_sequence(Value::Str("updated".into()), 4)).unwrap(); // Passes filter (int still 60)
tx_int.send(Sequenced::with_sequence(Value::Int(75), 5)).unwrap(); // Passes filter (75 > 50)
// Results: seq 3 (Int 60), seq 4 (Int 60 + Str updated), seq 5 (Int 75)
let result1 = pipeline.next().await.unwrap();
let combined1 = result1.get().get_state();
assert!(matches!(combined1[0], Value::Int(60)));
assert!(matches!(combined1[1], Value::Str(ref s) if s == "initial"));
let result2 = pipeline.next().await.unwrap();
let combined2 = result2.get().get_state();
assert!(matches!(combined2[0], Value::Int(60)));
assert!(matches!(combined2[1], Value::Str(ref s) if s == "updated"));
let result3 = pipeline.next().await.unwrap();
let combined3 = result3.get().get_state();
assert!(matches!(combined3[0], Value::Int(75)));
assert!(matches!(combined3[1], Value::Str(ref s) if s == "updated"));
}
```
### 📚 Operator Documentation
- **[All Operators](docs/FLUXION_OPERATOR_SUMMARY.md)** - Complete operator reference
- **[Operators Roadmap](docs/FLUXION_OPERATORS_ROADMAP.md)** - Planned future operators
## Core Concepts
### Stream Operators
**Combining Streams:**
- `combine_latest` - Emit when any stream emits, with latest from all
- `with_latest_from` - Sample secondary streams on primary emission
- `ordered_merge` - Merge multiple streams preserving temporal order
**Filtering & Gating:**
- `emit_when` - Gate emissions based on a filter condition
- `take_latest_when` - Sample stream on trigger events
- `take_while_with` - Emit while condition holds
**Transformation:**
- `combine_with_previous` - Pair consecutive values
- `map_ordered` - Transform while preserving order
- `filter_ordered` - Filter while preserving order
### Async Execution
**Sequential Processing:**
```rust
use fluxion_exec::SubscribeAsyncExt;
stream
.subscribe_async(
|item, _token| async move {
process(item).await?;
Ok::<(), MyError>(())
},
None,
Some(|err| eprintln!("Error: {}", err))
)
.await?;
```
**Latest-Value Processing (with auto-cancellation):**
```rust
use fluxion_exec::SubscribeLatestAsyncExt;
stream
.subscribe_latest_async(
|item, token| async move {
expensive_operation(item, token).await?;
Ok::<(), MyError>(())
},
Some(|err| eprintln!("Error: {}", err)),
None
)
.await?;
```
## Documentation
### 📚 Guides
- **[Integration Guide](INTEGRATION.md)** - Learn the three patterns for integrating events (intrinsic, extrinsic, wrapper ordering)
- **[fluxion-stream](fluxion-stream/README.md)** - Stream operators and composition patterns
- **[fluxion-exec](fluxion-exec/README.md)** - Async execution and subscription utilities
### 💡 Complete Example
The **[stream-aggregation](examples/stream-aggregation/)** example demonstrates production-ready patterns:
- **Real-world architecture**: 3 producers, 1 aggregator, 1 consumer
- **Ordered stream combining**: Merges sensor readings, metrics, and system events
- **Type-safe transformations**: Uses `UnboundedReceiverExt` for elegant type erasure
- **Graceful shutdown**: Proper cleanup with `CancellationToken`
- **Error handling**: Demonstrates best practices throughout
**Why this example matters:**
- Shows how all the pieces fit together in a realistic application
- Demonstrates the `into_fluxion_stream()` pattern for combining heterogeneous streams
- Illustrates proper resource management and cancellation
- Serves as a template for building your own event processing systems
Run it with: `cargo run --example stream-aggregation`
