Lightweight library with testing functions for composing asynchronous and event-based operations in JavaScript

# RxJS Testing Module #

The Reactive Extensions for JavaScript has a built-in mechanism for testing all operators which allows for mocking absolute and relative time with ease. This requires `rx.lite.virtualtime.js` from the [`rx-lite-virtualtime`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/rx-virtualtime) NPM module.

## Getting Started

There are a number of ways to get started with RxJS.

### Installing with [NPM](https://npmjs.org/)

```bash`
$ npm install rx-lite-testing
$ npm install -g rx-lite-testing
```

### Using with Node.js and Ringo.js

```js
var Rx = require('rx-lite-testing');
```

### In a Browser:

```html
<!-- Just the core RxJS -->
<script src="path/to/rx.lite.js"></script>
<script src="path/to/rx.lite.virtualtime.js"></script>
<script src="path/to/rx.lite.testing.js"></script>
```

## Contributing ##

There are lots of ways to contribute to the project, and we appreciate our [contributors](https://github.com/Reactive-Extensions/RxJS/wiki/Contributors).  If you wish to contribute, check out our [style guide]((https://github.com/Reactive-Extensions/RxJS/tree/master/doc/contributing)).

You can contribute by reviewing and sending feedback on code checkins, suggesting and trying out new features as they are implemented, submit bugs and help us verify fixes as they are checked in, as well as submit code fixes or code contributions of your own. Note that all code submissions will be rigorously reviewed and tested by the Rx Team, and only those that meet an extremely high bar for both quality and design/roadmap appropriateness will be merged into the source.
