basic bacon + api request

bacon-github.js

// bacon.fromPromise wrapper
let request = function(data) { return Bacon.fromPromise($.ajax(data.url)); }

// userdata event stream - sends github api request each time the username text field looses focus.
let userdata = $("#username").asEventStream("blur").map(function(event) {
  let user = $(event.target).val();
  return {url: `https://api.github.com/users/${user}`};
}).flatMap(request).log("user stream");

// handle the data response that "request" made.
userdata.onValue(function(resp) {
  alert(resp.name);
});
