Reactive Programming for Scala and Scala.js.

NOTE: renamed from Monifu, see issue #91 for details.

Monix is a high-performance Scala / Scala.js library for composing asynchronous and event-based programs using observable sequences that are exposed as asynchronous streams, expanding on the observer pattern, strongly inspired by ReactiveX, but designed from the ground up for back-pressure and made to cleanly interact with Scala's standard library and compatible out-of-the-box with the Reactive Streams protocol.

Highlights:

• exposes the kick-ass Observable, Task and Coeval
• modular, only use what you need
• the core has no third-party dependencies
• strives to be idiomatic Scala and encourages referential transparency, but is built to be faster than alternatives
• accepted in the Typelevel incubator
• designed for true asynchronicity, running on both the JVM and Scala.js,
• really good test coverage and API documentation as a project policy

See monix-sample for a project exemplifying Monix used both on the server and on the client.

The packages are published on Maven Central.

• Current stable release: 1.2
• Current beta release: 2.0-RC6

For the stable release (use the %%% for Scala.js):

libraryDependencies += "org.monifu" %% "monifu" % "1.2"

For the beta/preview release (use at your own risk):

libraryDependencies += "io.monix" %% "monix" % "2.0-RC6"

Monix 2.0 is modular by design, so you can pick and choose:

• monix-types exposes type-classes and shims needed for integration with other FP libraries (Cats, Scalaz)
• monix-execution exposes the low-level execution environment, or more precisely Scheduler, Cancelable and CancelableFuture
• monix-eval exposes Task, Coeval and depends on monix-execution and monix-types
• monix-reactive exposes Observable streams and depends on monix-eval and monix-types
• monix provides all of the above

Optional packages:

• monix-cats provides integration with Cats and depends on monix-types

NOTE: The documentation is a work in progress. All documentation is hosted at, contributions are welcome:
