What are RxSwift Operators?

Operators

Rx: Operators

  • RX methods are referred to as Operators.
  • Allow you to transform, combine, manipulate and work with the sequences of items emitted by Observables.
  • Allow you to compose asynchronous sequences together in a declarative manner.
  • As efficient as callbacks but without the drawbacks of nesting callback handlers.
  • Most operators operate on an Observable and return an Observable.
  • You can chain operators one after another.
  • Each operator in the chain modifies the Observable that results from the operation of the previous operator.
  • Operators operate sequentially each one operating on the Observable generated by its immediate predecessor in the chain.
  • Order of operators matters.
