KeyStream<T> class abstract

Class to expose a stream of AtKey based on the provided query parameters

KeyStream exposes a stream where each stream element represents data for a single AtKey

Pass the convert callback function to define how an AtKey and AtValue will converted into elements of the stream. To filter AtKeys that will be included in this stream, you may apply a custom regex filter, or pass in sharedBy and/or sharedWith atSigns. By default shouldGetKeys is enabled, which will initially populate the stream with available keys that match the regex, sharedBy, and sharedWith filters. You may also override the atClientManager if necessary.

In addition to KeyStream, there are collection based versions for Iterable, List, Set, and Map represented by IterableKeyStream, ListKeyStream, SetKeyStream, and MapKeyStream respectively.

KeyStreams can be used with Flutter's StreamBuilders to achieve seamless data flow from the at_client straight to the user interface. For example, to get a stream containing all messages from '@alice' to '@bob' in a list:

ListKeyStream stream = ListKeyStream(
  convert: (key, value) => value,
  regex: r'\.message',
  sharedBy: '@alice',
  sharedWith: '@bob'
);

When switching atSigns, all KeyStreams will self-dispose to prevent any complications during the development process. If you would like to dipose of a KeyStream sooner, you may do so using KeyStream.dipose(). If your KeyStream was created as state of a StatefulWidget it is recommended that you dispose of it in the widget:

@override
void dispose() async {
  await stream.dispose();
  super.dispose();
}
