WithObservables
HOC (Higher-Order Component) for connecting RxJS Observables to React Components
Overview
withObservables is a powerful higher-order component specifically designed for seamlessly connecting RxJS Observables to React components. This tool greatly simplifies the process of managing dynamic data within your application. However, it’s important to note that as of August 2023, withObservables as a standalone package has been deprecated and now exists as part of WatermelonDB, particularly useful for developers using version 0.27 or later.
Transitioning to this implementation allows you to easily integrate your React components with observables, enhancing your component's interactivity and responsiveness to data changes. This review outlines some key features that make withObservables an appealing solution for React developers.
Features

- React
React is a widely used JavaScript library for building user interfaces and single-page applications. It follows a component-based architecture and uses a virtual DOM to efficiently update and render UI components
- React Native
React Native is a framework for building mobile applications using React and JavaScript. It enables developers to write once and deploy to multiple platforms, including iOS, Android, and the web, while providing a native app-like experience to users.
- Eslint
ESLint is a linter for JavaScript that analyzes code to detect and report on potential problems and errors, as well as enforce consistent code style and best practices, helping developers to write cleaner, more maintainable code.
- Rollup
RollupJS is a popular and efficient JavaScript module bundler that takes the code from multiple modules and packages them into a single optimized file, minimizing the overall size of the application and improving its performance.
- Typescript
TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, providing optional static typing, classes, interfaces, and other features that help developers write more maintainable and scalable code. TypeScript's static typing system can catch errors at compile-time, making it easier to build and maintain large applications.
