DeferStream<T> class

The defer factory waits until a listener subscribes to it, and then it creates a Stream with the given factory function.

In some circumstances, waiting until the last minute (that is, until subscription time) to generate the Stream can ensure that listeners receive the freshest data.

By default, DeferStreams are single-subscription. However, it's possible to make them reusable.

Example

DeferStream(() => Stream.value(1)).listen(print); //prints 1

Methods

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
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>

inherited
forEach(void action(T element)) → Future<void>
Executes action on each element of this stream.
inherited
handleError(Function onError, {bool test(dynamic error)?}) → Stream<T>
