RxJavaFx 2 roadmap #53

Closed rguillens closed 7 years ago

rguillens commented 7 years ago

Is there any plan to migrate Observables to Flowables in version 2 of RxJavaFx, as well as move the maven artifact to the groupId io.reactivex.rxjava2 according to version 2 of RxJava to allow coexistence of versions 1 and 2?

I added support for Flowables already where it makes sense (primarily through JavaFxSubscriber and RxFlowableTransformer utility classes). Creating a Flowable from UI events, however, does not logically make sense since you cannot programmatically tell a user to slow down emissions. But if you need to turn the Observable into a Flowable, just call toFlowable() and pass the right backpressure strategy to it (this creates a buffer though, and does not truly achieve backpressure).

Regarding the groupId, yes that was a mistake on my part after I released it. As you said, the merit of the new groupId is it allows build automation tools to allow both RxJava 1.0 and RxJava 2.0 into a project, and therefore allow RxJava 1.0 projects to migrate slowly to 2.0. I was thinking about changing the groupId, and I may in a future release. But I don't know how much demand there is for legacy projects on RxJavaFX 1.0 to migrate gradually to RxJavaFX 2.0.

I probably will change the groupId on the next future release.
