Will you consider integrating reactive property?

Hi @singno,

Do you mean that subscribing with a reactive library invokes the given closure immediately on subscribing? Or are you talking about the difference in syntax?

The first is because we felt it was more logical to not invoke the closure immediately, but only after an event is published. Hanson's 'bind' functions do invoke the closure inmediately.

The different syntax is because we wanted the instance that made the observation to own the observation. Therefore, all 'observe' and 'bind' functions are instance methods (they're called on 'self'). That way, the observing instance can keep a reference to its observations, and automatically stop and release them when the observing instance is released.

I mean the first one.

I know "bind" invokes immediately, but i don't know how to bind property with method. I want the observable to be reactive like RxSwift's "behaviour subject" .

Seems the syntax would be like:

bind(observable, to: self) {
      controller, value in
      controller.method(value);
}

It seems verbose.But anyway, it is an awesome lightweight library.

The 'bind' function with a closure was indeed designed to invoke a method like in your example. So that would be the way to do it. However, you can always add an extension with your own 'subscribe' method that behaves the way that best suits you.

Thanks for using Hanson!
