You use samber/ro to build declarative pipelines instead of manual goroutine/channel wiring, but you know when a simple slice + samber/lo is enough. **Thinking mode:** Use `ultrathink` when designing advanced reactive pipelines or choosing between cold/hot observables, subjects, and combining operators. Wrong architecture leads to resource leaks or missed events. # samber/ro — Reactive Streams for Go Go implementation of [ReactiveX](https://reactivex.io/). Generics-first, type-safe, composable pipelines for asynchronous data streams with automatic backpressure, error propagation, context integration, and resource cleanup. 150+ operators, 5 subject types, 40+ plugins. **Official Resources:** - [github.com/samber/ro](https://github.com/samber/ro) - [ro.samber.dev](https://ro.samber.dev) - [pkg.go.dev/github.com/samber/ro](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/samber/ro) This skill is not exhaustive. Please refer to library documentation and code examples for more information. Context7 can help as a discoverability platform. ## Why samber/ro (Streams vs Slices) Go channels + goroutines become unwieldy for complex async pipelines: manual channel closures, verbose goroutine lifecycle, error propagation across nested selects, and no composable operators. `samber/ro` solves this with declarative, chainable stream operators. **When to use which tool:** | Scenario | Tool | Why | | --- | --- | --- | | Transform a slice (map, filter, reduce) | `samber/lo` | Finite, synchronous, eager — no stream overhead needed | | Simple goroutine fan-out with error handling | `errgroup` | Standard lib, lightweight, sufficient for bounded concurrency | | Infinite event stream (WebSocket, tickers, file watcher) | `samber/ro` | Declarative pipeline with backpressure, retry, timeout, combine | | Real-time data enrichment from multiple async sources | `samber/ro` | CombineLatest/Zip compose dependent streams without manual select | | Pub/sub with multiple consumers sharing one source | `samber/ro` | Hot observables (Share/Subjects) handle multicast natively | **Key differences: lo vs ro** | Aspect | `samber/lo` | `samber/ro` | | --- | --- | --- | | Data | Finite slices | Infinite streams | | Execution | Synchronous, blocking | Asynchronous, non-blocking | | Evaluation | Eager (allocates intermediate slices) | Lazy (processes items as they arrive) | | Timing | Immediate | Time-aware (delay, throttle, interval, timeout) | | Error model | Return `(T, error)` per call | Error channel propagates through pipeline | | Use case | Collection transforms | Event-driven, real-time, async pipelines | ## Installation ```bash go get github.com/samber/ro ``` ## Core Concepts Four building blocks: 1. **Observable** — a data source that emits values over time. Cold by default: each subscriber triggers independent execution from scratch 2. **Observer** — a consumer with three callbacks: `onNext(T)`, `onError(error)`, `onComplete()` 3. **Operator** — a function that transforms an observable into another observable, chained via `Pipe` 4. **Subscription** — the connection between observable and observer. Call `.Wait()` to block or `.Unsubscribe()` to cancel ```go observable := ro.Pipe2( ro.RangeWithInterval(0, 5, 1*time.Second), ro.Filter(func(x int) bool { return x%2 == 0 }), ro.Map(func(x int) string { return fmt.Sprintf("even-%d", x) }), ) observable.Subscribe(ro.NewObserver( func(s string) { fmt.Println(s) }, // onNext func(err error) { log.Println(err) }, // onError func() { fmt.Println("Done!") }, // onComplete )) // Output: "even-0", "even-2", "even-4", "Done!" // Or collect synchronously: values, err := ro.Collect(observable) ``` ## Cold vs Hot Observables **Cold** (default): each `.Subscribe()` starts a new independent execution. Safe and predictable — use by default. **Hot**: multiple subscribers share a single execution. Use when the source is expensive (WebSocket, DB poll) or subscribers must see the same events. | Convert with | Behavior | | --- | --- | | `Share()` | Cold → hot with reference counting. Last unsubscribe tears down | | `ShareReplay(n)` | Same as Share + buffers last N values for late subscribers | | `Connectable()` | Cold → hot, but waits for explicit `.Connect()` call | | Subjects | Natively hot — call `.Send()`, `.Error()`, `.Complete()` directly | | Subject | Constructor | Replay behavior | | --- | --- | --- | | `PublishSubject` | `NewPublishSubject[T]()` | None — late subscribers miss past events | | `BehaviorSubject` | `NewBehaviorSubject[T](initial)` | Replays last value to new subscribers | | `ReplaySubject` | `NewReplaySubject[T](bufferSize)` | Replays last N values | | `AsyncSubject` | `NewAsyncSubject[T]()` | Emits only last value, only on complete | | `UnicastSubject` | `NewUnicastSubject[T](bufferSize)` | Single subscriber only | For subject details and hot observable patterns, see [Subjects Guide](./references/subjects-guide.md). ## Operator Quick Reference | Category | Key operators | Purpose | | --- | --- | --- | | Creation | `Just`, `FromSlice`, `FromChannel`, `Range`, `Interval`, `Defer`, `Future` | Create observables from various sources | | Transform | `Map`, `MapErr`, `FlatMap`, `Scan`, `Reduce`, `GroupBy` | Transform or accumulate stream values | | Filter | `Filter`, `Take`, `TakeLast`, `Skip`, `Distinct`, `Find`, `First`, `Last` | Selectively emit values | | Combine | `Merge`, `Concat`, `Zip2`–`Zip6`, `CombineLatest2`–`CombineLatest5`, `Race` | Merge multiple observables | | Error | `Catch`, `OnErrorReturn`, `OnErrorResumeNextWith`, `Retry`, `RetryWithConfig` | Recover from errors | | Timing | `Delay`, `DelayEach`, `Timeout`, `ThrottleTime`, `SampleTime`, `BufferWithTime` | Control emission timing | | Side effect | `Tap`/`Do`, `TapOnNext`, `TapOnError`, `TapOnComplete` | Observe without altering stream | | Terminal | `Collect`, `ToSlice`, `ToChannel`, `ToMap` | Consume stream into Go types | Use typed `Pipe2`, `Pipe3` ... `Pipe25` for compile-time type safety across operator chains. The untyped `Pipe` uses `any` and loses type checking. For the complete operator catalog (150+ operators with signatures), see [Operators Guide](./references/operators-guide.md). ## Common Mistakes | Mistake | Why it fails | Fix | | --- | --- | --- | | Using `ro.OnNext()` without error handler | Errors are silently dropped — bugs hide in production | Use `ro.NewObserver(onNext, onError, onComplete)` with all 3 callbacks | | Using untyped `Pipe()` instead of `Pipe2`/`Pipe3` | Loses compile-time type safety, errors surface at runtime | Use `Pipe2`, `Pipe3`...`Pipe25` for typed operator chains | | Forgetting `.Unsubscribe()` on infinite streams | Goroutine leak — the observable runs forever | Use `TakeUntil(signal)`, context cancellation, or explicit `Unsubscribe()` | | Using `Share()` when cold is sufficient | Unnecessary complexity, harder to reason about lifecycle | Use hot observables only when multiple consumers need the same stream | | Using `samber/ro` for finite slice transforms | Stream overhead (goroutines, subscriptions) for a synchronous operation | Use `samber/lo` — it's simpler, faster, and purpose-built for slices | | Not propagating context for cancellation | Streams ignore shutdown signals, causing resource leaks on termination | Chain `ContextWithTimeout` or `ThrowOnContextCancel` in the pipeline | ## Best Practices 1. **Always handle all three events** — use `NewObserver(onNext, onError, onComplete)`, not just `OnNext`. Unhandled errors cause silent data loss 2. **Use `Collect()` for synchronous consumption** — when the stream is finite and you need `[]T`, `Collect` blocks until complete and returns the slice + error 3. **Prefer typed Pipe functions** — `Pipe2`, `Pipe3`...`Pipe25` catch type mismatches at compile time. Reserve untyped `Pipe` for dynamic operator chains 4. **Bound infinite streams** — use `Take(n)`, `TakeUntil(signal)`, `Timeout(d)`, or context cancellation. Unbounded streams leak goroutines 5. **Use `Tap`/`Do` for observability** — log, trace, or meter emissions without altering the stream. Chain `TapOnError` for error monitoring 6. **Prefer `samber/lo` for simple transforms** — if the data is a finite slice and you need Map/Filter/Reduce, use `lo`. Reach for `ro` when data arrives over time, from multiple sources, or needs retry/timeout/backpressure ## Plugin Ecosystem 40+ plugins extend ro with domain-specific operators: | Category | Plugins | Import path prefix | | --- | --- | --- | | Encoding | JSON, CSV, Base64, Gob | `plugins/encoding/...` | | Network | HTTP, I/O, FSNotify | `plugins/http`, `plugins/io`, `plugins/fsnotify` | | Scheduling | Cron, ICS | `plugins/cron`, `plugins/ics` | | Observability | Zap, Slog, Zerolog, Logrus, Sentry, Oops | `plugins/observability/...`, `plugins/samber/oops` | | Rate limiting | Native, Ulule | `plugins/ratelimit/...` | | Data | Bytes, Strings, Sort, Strconv, Regexp, Template | `plugins/bytes`, `plugins/strings`, etc. | | System | Process, Signal | `plugins/proc`, `plugins/signal` | For the full plugin catalog with import paths and usage examples, see [Plugin Ecosystem](./references/plugin-ecosystem.md).
