In this episode, Jon and Allan discuss Reactive Extensions (Rx) and its advantages over traditional event handling. They start by addressing Jon's resistance to dependency injection and his concerns about taking dependencies on external libraries. Allan introduces Rx as a solution to handle events more effectively and efficiently. They explore the benefits of Rx, such as composability, filtering, and transforming events. The conversation delves into the implementation of Rx in different platforms and its integration with Maui. They also discuss challenges and solutions in using Rx, including canceling requests and validating input. Overall, the episode highlights the power and versatility of Rx in simplifying event handling and improving code readability. In this conversation, Jon and Allan discuss Reactive UI and Reactive Extensions. They explore the features and benefits of Reactive UI.net and how it simplifies event handling and data binding in UI development. They dive into topics such as throttling and transforming events, filtering empty or invalid values, canceling and restarting events, and handling complex use cases. They also discuss the challenges and limitations of Reactive Extensions, including assembly size and reflection usage. The conversation concludes with a discussion on identifying use cases for Reactive UI and plans for future discussions on the topic.
