I'm building a simple command line tool using node.js.
In the past, I was using a Promise approach with something like this
function listenCommand(){
inquirer.prompt([{
type:'input',
name:'value',
message:"Enter commande :"
}]).then(function (command) {
processCmd(command);
});
}
function processCmd(){
...
listenCommand()
}
That would create my main loop to enter commands. When a command is executed the app will ask for a next one.
I'm now trying to transpose that into a RxJS approach with something like.
function listenCommand(){
let listener = Rx.Observable.fromPromise(inquirer.prompt([{
type:'input',
name:'value',
message:"Enter commande :"
}]));
listener.subscribe(function (command) {
processCmd(command);
});
}
function processCmd(){
...
listenCommand()
}
It works but that doesn't sounds good.
What is the right way for doing this prompt loop with RxJS? Or is RxJS not suited for that kind of job and should I stick to the Promise approach instead?
