This sample shows how we can use the [ReactiveX (RxJs)](http://reactivex.io/) library with the SharePoint Framework to communicate between web parts through broadcasting events utilizing the [Publish–subscribe pattern](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Publish–subscribe_pattern). It enables a web part or component to emit event (broadcast message) and that event is received by other web parts or components that have been subscribed to receive it. Please note this is custom implementation of the [Publish–subscribe pattern](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Publish–subscribe_pattern) by using the [ReactiveX (RxJs)](http://reactivex.io/) library. The SPFx will nativelly support this in future without the need of custom implementation through new SPFx api called Event Aggregator, but it is still in Alpha.
| Every SPFx version is only compatible with specific version(s) of Node.js. In order to be able to build this sample, please ensure that the version of Node on your workstation matches one of the versions listed in this section. This sample will not work on a different version of Node.|
|Refer to <https://aka.ms/spfx-matrix> for more information on SPFx compatibility. |
