# Awesome Observables [![Awesome](https://awesome.re/badge.svg)](https://awesome.re) > An [Observable](https://github.com/zenparsing/es-observable) is a collection that arrives over time. Observables can be used to model push-based data sources such as events, timer intervals, asynchronous requests, and animations. Observables can be transformed, combined, and consumed using array-like methods. *Please read the [contribution guidelines](contributing.md) before contributing.* ## Contents - [Documentation](#documentation) - [Implementations](#implementations) - [Packages](#packages) - [Libraries](#libraries) - [Articles](#articles) - [Videos](#videos) - [Related](#related) ## Documentation - [Overview](https://github.com/tc39/proposal-observable) - [Specification](https://tc39.github.io/proposal-observable/) ## Implementations - [zen-observable](https://github.com/zenparsing/zen-observable) - [RxJS](https://github.com/ReactiveX/RxJS) ## Packages - [ObservableLike](https://github.com/sindresorhus/type-fest/blob/main/source/observable-like.d.ts) - TypeScript type. - [any-observable](https://github.com/sindresorhus/any-observable) - Support any Observable library and polyfill. - [is-observable](https://github.com/sindresorhus/is-observable) - Check if a value is an Observable. - [observable-to-promise](https://github.com/sindresorhus/observable-to-promise) - Convert an Observable to a Promise. - [stream-to-observable](https://github.com/jamestalmage/stream-to-observable) - Convert a Node.js stream into an Observable. - [symbol-observable](https://github.com/blesh/symbol-observable) - `Symbol.observable` ponyfill. - [obsify](https://github.com/samverschueren/obsify) - Observableify a callback-style function. - [localForage-observable](https://github.com/thgreasi/localForage-observable) - Observables for localForage. ## Libraries *These are libraries that harness the power of Observables, not necessarily spec compatible Observable implementations.* - [Cycle.js](http://cycle.js.org) - A functional and reactive JavaScript framework for cleaner code. ## Articles - [The introduction to Reactive programming you've been missing](https://gist.github.com/staltz/868e7e9bc2a7b8c1f754) - Reactive programming using Observables. - [Everywhereness as a foundation](http://staltz.com/everywhereness-as-a-foundation.html) - Benefits of using Observables everywhere. - [Learning Observable By Building Observable](https://benlesh.com/posts/learning-observable-by-building-observable/) *(Updated 2021-07-08)* ## Videos - [Introducing the Observable](https://egghead.io/lessons/javascript-introducing-the-observable) - Egghead.io lesson. ## Related - [awesome-nodejs](https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome-nodejs) [observables.md Github](https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome-observables )
