Node: v22.1.0

cd exercises
npm install
npm start

Update exercises/index.ts to switch between different exercises!

For the Angular RXJS exercises see exercises-angular/README.md

Theoretical Stuff

RxJS learning curve? No.. Learning cliff!

TODO

• RXJS example hot vs cold --> & check network tab
• Something to vizualize the marbles? It's builtin RXJS with TestScheduler?
• Finalize the pptx with some additional infos

Theorie Angular:

• Do not use subscribe to set fields, use the AsyncPipe
• Do not reset an observable, declare it once in ctor or ngOnInit and take everything relevant into account

Extra Angular

• Use AbstractControl.valueChange / statusChange --> Categories & SubCategories --> SubCategories depends on Category selection

RXJS:

• User enters search needle:
• Small initial debounce & then a search goes to the backend
• Cancel the API call when the current search string does not include the API needle & relaunch new with current needle
• Once results have returned from the backend and the current search string > used needle, show those results
• After that normal debounce
