Watch step by step comparisons

skipLast(count)? forkJoin(dictionary)? The illustrated book shows you how operators work over time with step by step visualizations.
combineLatest vs withLatestFrom? skipWhile vs filter? You'll compare operators side by side, step by step, and immediately spot the differences! Watch a free preview.

Learn principles and edge cases

The illustrated book not only explores general principles but also provides variations and alternative visualizations to highlight edge cases. Examples:

• What happens if last() is used on an empty stream?
• What if takeLast(3) is used with a stream emitting less than 3 values?
• How does the scan operator start when we don't provide a seed?

Challenge yourself with visual quizzes

Learning is active! The book includes series of visual exercises: test yourself and pass the quizzes multiple time to train your muscle memory.

Until the operators become second nature for you. 

Explore the RxJS operators. Visually!

You'll find these answers and much more in the book. And the IllustratedRxJS.dev platform makes the exploration super fast and visual. Examples:

• Which operators accept a predicate?
• What type of arguments accepts takeWhile? What about takeUntil?
• What is an accumulator or a notifier? Where can we use them?

What's included?

• 💻 Access to the IllustratedRxJS.dev platform
• 📒 The PDF version, optimized for mobile and desktop reading
• 📔 The ePub version, optimized for Apple's Book app
