Return an RxJS v5 Observable from your superagent request
Add it to your project via npm or yarn (recommended):
npm install --save superagent-rxjs
If you haven't already, also add superagent and rxjs as a dependency to your project:
npm install --save superagent rxjs
import request from 'superagent'
import observify from 'superagent-rxjs'
// mutates superagent's Request.prototype and adds the .observify() method to it
observify(request)
// use it!
const observable = request.get('http://example.com').observify()
const subscription = observable.subscribe()
// calling unsubscribe before the request has finished will abort the request
subscription.unsubscribe()
Adds the observify
method to superagent's Request.prototype
and returns nothing
Thanks Kriegslustig for helping out on the tests 😄
