How to use RxJs with Socket.IO on event

Question

I want to use RxJS inside of my socket.on(\'sense\',function(data){});. I am stuck and confused with very few documentation available and my lack of understanding R

Answer 1

I have experienced some strange issues using the fromEvent method, so I prefer just to create my own Observable:

function RxfromIO (io, eventName) {
  return Rx.Observable.create(observer => {
    io.on(eventName, (data) => {
        observer.onNext(data)
    });
    return {
        dispose : io.close
    }
});

I can then use like this:

let $connection = RxfromIO(io, 'connection');
