Declarative streams for Typescript

Features

• eventkit is a library that makes it easy to compose and observe asynchronous streams
• Similar to RxJS, but with improved side-effect management and a generator-based design
• When state updates are pushed to a stream, the client can receive them in real time
• Simple to implement on both server and client through Stream and AsyncObservable
• Using eventkit on the server side
  • Push state changes to a Stream, and the client subscribes to that stream
• Using eventkit on the client side
  • Receive stream data, decode it, then update the UI
• An official GitHub repository and an HTTP Streaming guide are also available
