Firstly (α), we create a&nbsp;variable (constant) representing reactive value. Somewhere later, we can register (β) a&nbsp;logic reacting to the observable value changes. Similarly, in a&nbsp;remaining part (γ), we can update the observable value.</p><!--<dde:mark type="component" name="example" host="this" ssr/>--><div id="code-example-1-v1fw44pkzuo" class="example"><!--<dde:mark type="component" name="code" host="parentElement" ssr/>--><code class="language-js">import { O } from "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/jaandrle/deka-dom-el/dist/esm-with-observables.js";

All three parts can be in some manner independent and still connected to the same reactive entity.</p><p>Observables are implemented in the library as functions. To see current value of observable, just call it without any arguments <code>console.log(observable())</code>. To update the observable value, pass any argument <code>observable('a new value')</code>. For listenning the observable value changes, use <code>O.on(observable, console.log)</code>.</p><p>Similarly to the <code>on</code> function to register DOM events listener. You can use <code>AbortController</code>/<code>AbortSignal</code> to <em>off</em>/stop listenning.
