// We need a stream that will be ended either on its own or by another stream. | |
// This is how we can build a "smart preloader" which knows when to reveal itself. | |
// Note 1: because the preloader stream will be ended, we need to create such stream anew | |
// each time user want to see next image. This is why, here we have a function. | |
// Note 2: this stream will have eather ("preloader.gif", <end>) values or just (<end>). In other words, | |
// img stream just ends reloader stream, but does not pollute it with a value. | |
var preloaderOrImage = () => Bacon.once("preloader.gif").delay(2000).takeUntil(img); | |
// map each call for the next image to smart preloader. | |
var cancelablePreloader = nextImage.flatMap(preloaderOrImage); | |
// finally, merge image and smart preloader. In other words, log a value that will come faster. | |
var result = img.merge(cancelablePreloader).log(); |
