In RxSwift, there are several main types of Subject that combine the properties of Observable and Observer:
-
PublishSubject — does not store previous values. Subscribers only receive events that occur after subscription.
-
BehaviorSubject — stores the last value and immediately sends it to new subscribers.
-
ReplaySubject — stores a specified number of the most recent values and sends them to new subscribers.
-
AsyncSubject — only sends the last value to subscribers, and only after the sequence completes.
Example of using BehaviorSubject:
let subject = BehaviorSubject(value: "Initial")
subject.onNext("Second")
subject.subscribe(onNext: { value in
print("Received: \(value)")
})
// Will output:
// Received: Second
Each type of Subject is suitable for different scenarios in reactive programming.
