RxJava Support

[MRezaNasirloo]

It would be nice to have RxJava support, maybe a wrapper at least.

We don't plan to support RxJava. We want to support kotlin coroutines instead.

[MRezaNasirloo]

I'm talking about reactive streams, I don't see how coroutines would replace RxJava!

Why not have both?

[Tapac]

Could you provide any examples of what kind of support do you expect?

@Tapac @MRezaNasirloo
I'd love to have something like that in Exposed.
In the past, I have worked with Slick (a Scala FRM) that supports async reactive operations http://slick.lightbend.com/doc/3.2.0/introduction.html#reactive-applications

This is pretty handy for data-intensive applications. Supporting back-pressure on read/write operations is not trivial from a developer point of view. If the library could support that it would open a number of new scenarios where Exposed could be used.

I know, that this thread is pretty old, but I have some use cases for rx java & Exposed orm:

• will be cool to subscribe to data, and, when something changed in table, receive update via rx observable,
• Flowable's back-pressure is cool, as for me also will be cool, to manage threads for database, like in rxJava (subscribeOn , observeOn) (ok, it's also possible via coroutines)

[BrianEstrada]

Supporting some way of subscribing to table changes would be fantastic whether it's RxJava or not

[MRezaNasirloo]

@BrianEstrada Yep at the time RxJava was still hot on the subject (pun intended), with the introduction of kotlin.flow I think it's easier more than ever to have something like that, nonetheless I'm closing this since it's not relevant anymore.
