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

You can use rxjs-dom,

Rx.DOM.fromWebSocket(url, protocol, [openObserver], [closeObserver])


// an observer for when the socket is open
var openObserver = Rx.Observer.create(function(e) {
  console.info('socket open');

  // Now it is safe to send a message
  socket.onNext('test');
});

// an observer for when the socket is about to close
var closingObserver = Rx.Observer.create(function() {
  console.log('socket is about to close');
});

// create a web socket subject
socket = Rx.DOM.fromWebSocket(
  'ws://echo.websocket.org',
  null, // no protocol
  openObserver,
  closingObserver);

// subscribing creates the underlying socket and will emit a stream of incoming
// message events
socket.subscribe(
  function(e) {
    console.log('message: %s', e.data);
  },
  function(e) {
    // errors and "unclean" closes land here
    console.error('error: %s', e);
  },
  function() {
    // the socket has been closed
    console.info('socket closed');
  }
);
