map

accepts 1 input stream, a project function

  • ❯When the input stream emits a value, it is given to the project function and the resulting value is emitted

Notes

❚ map and all the other reactive programming functions will never modify the input stream. Instead, they return a new stream. This principle is called immutability.

In the video example, ▬ isChecked is used as a project function. This function accepts events from checkable elements: checkboxes, radio buttons, options of a menu, toggles, etc. It returns ✔ true if the element is checked, ✘ false otherwise.

When an action is performed on the toggle (on→off or off→on), a toggle event is emitted (read a stream of toggle events).
