BehaviorSubject<T> class

A special StreamController that captures the latest item that has been added to the controller, and emits that as the first item to any new listener.

This subject allows sending data, error and done events to the listener. The latest item that has been added to the subject will be sent to any new listeners of the subject. After that, any new events will be appropriately sent to the listeners. It is possible to provide a seed value that will be emitted if no items have been added to the subject.

BehaviorSubject is, by default, a broadcast (aka hot) controller, in order to fulfill the Rx Subject contract. This means the Subject's stream can be listened to multiple times.

Example

final subject = BehaviorSubject<int>();

subject.add(1);
subject.add(2);
subject.add(3);

subject.stream.listen(print); // prints 3
subject.stream.listen(print); // prints 3
subject.stream.listen(print); // prints 3

Example with seed value

final subject = BehaviorSubject<int>.seeded(1);

subject.stream.listen(print); // prints 1
subject.stream.listen(print); // prints 1
subject.stream.listen(print); // prints 1

Methods

add(T event) → void: Sends a data event.
inherited
addError(Object error, [StackTrace? stackTrace]) → void: Sends or enqueues an error event.
inherited
addStream(Stream<T> source, {bool? cancelOnError}) → Future<void>: Receives events from source and puts them into this controller's stream.
inherited
any(bool test(T element)) → Future<bool>: Checks whether test accepts any element provided by this stream.
inherited
asBroadcastStream({void onListen(StreamSubscription<T> subscription)?, void onCancel(StreamSubscription<T> subscription)?}) → Stream<T>: Returns a multi-subscription stream that produces the same events as this.
inherited
asyncExpand<E>(Stream<E>? convert(T event)) → Stream<E>: Transforms each element into a sequence of asynchronous events.
inherited
asyncMap<E>(FutureOr<E> convert(T event)) → Stream<E>: Creates a new stream with each data event of this stream asynchronously mapped to a new event.
inherited
cast<R>() → Stream<R>: Adapt this stream to be a Stream<R>.
inherited
close() → Future: Closes the stream.
inherited
contains(Object? needle) → Future<bool>: Returns whether needle occurs in the elements provided by this stream.
inherited
distinct([bool equals(T previous, T next)?]) → Stream<T>: Skips data events if they are equal to the previous data event.
inherited
drain<E>([E? futureValue]) → Future<E>: Discards all data on this stream, but signals when it is done or an error occurred.
inherited
elementAt(int index) → Future<T>: Returns the value of the indexth data event of this stream.
inherited
every(bool test(T element)) → Future<bool>: Checks whether test accepts all elements provided by this stream.
