takeWhile method

  1. @override
Stream<Uint8List> takeWhile(
  1. bool test(
    1. Uint8List element
    )
)
inherited

Forwards data events while test is successful.

Returns a stream that provides the same events as this stream until test fails for a data event. The returned stream is done when either this stream is done, or when this stream first emits a data event that fails test.

The test call is considered failing if it returns a non-true value or if it throws. If the test call throws, the error is emitted as the last event on the returned streams.

Stops listening to this stream after the accepted elements.

Internally the method cancels its subscription after these elements. This means that single-subscription (non-broadcast) streams are closed and cannot be reused after a call to this method.

The returned stream is a broadcast stream if this stream is. For a broadcast stream, the events are only tested from the time the returned stream is listened to.

Example:

final stream = Stream<int>.periodic(const Duration(seconds: 1), (i) => i)
    .takeWhile((event) => event < 6);
stream.forEach(print); // Outputs events: 0, ..., 5.

Implementation

@override
Stream<T> takeWhile(bool Function(T element) test) => stream.takeWhile(test);
