A more verbose way to declare callbags : useful ? about callbag HOT 9 CLOSED

Hi! Well, looks good. Maybe try it out in a real project a couple of times and see if it makes sense. :)

Challenge accepted 😉

What do you think about this?

const Producer = {
  connect(Consumer) {
    this.i = 0
    this.id = setInterval(() => {
      Consumer.data(this.i++)
    }, 1000)

    Consumer.open(this)
  },

  data(payload) {
    this.i = payload
  },

  end() {
    clearInterval(this.id)
  }
}

const Consumer = {
  open(Producer) {
    setTimeout(() => Producer.data(17), 3500)
    setTimeout(() => Producer.end(), 7500)
  },

  data(payload) {
    console.log(payload)
  }
}

Producer.connect(Consumer)

@DrJume I like the wording.
I see you're calling Consumer.data(...) directly, how would this work if the Consumer is a raw (not verbose) callbag?

I don't know.
My idea would be to change the spec, but it's not tested thoroughly yet.

I can see where @DrJume is going towards, and I think it could work. One additional method could be toCallbag which returns a function (a callbag). See e.g. https://github.com/staltz/callbag-pseudo-rxjs/blob/52f04f7e6c06648374da6d1949694aa06013459d/index.js#L68

That also means an object with data/end/etc is not a callbag. It's a thing that can be converted to a callbag. So maybe you could make a separate library or spec for objects that follow that shape. (Specs are cheap to create, just make it)

My idea would be to change the spec, but it's not tested thoroughly yet.

Don't change the spec. Fork it, make another one. 😎

Do you have any cool naming ideas for the forked spec/library ?

As far as names go, when I first heard André share the discovery that, simply, "a Pull is just two Pushes" the first thing came to mind is Doctor Doolittle's "Pushmi-Pullyu" https://youtu.be/pmp-ITOI0-I?t=38s . :)

I wondered about the name Callbags, but then recently in one of André's talks he mentioned that if you take two callback hells, put them each in a bag, then connect the bags together you get heaven—then it clicked. :) Maybe I heard that explanation here: https://youtu.be/HssczgaY9BM

@DrJume Anything you feel like, but here are a few suggestion: objectbag, objbag. Note that forking specs to convert from object prototype methods to functions (or vice-versa) is okay and has happened in other communities, e.g. https://github.com/fantasyland/fantasy-land and then https://github.com/rpominov/static-land
