mergeAll method

Stream<T> mergeAll(Iterable<Stream<T>> others)

Merges values and errors from this stream and any stream in others in any order as they arrive.

The result stream will not close until this stream and all streams in others have closed.

For example:

final result = first.mergeAll([second, third]);

first:   1--2--------3--|
second:  ---------4-------5--|
third:   ------6---------------7--|
result:  1--2--6--4--3----5----7--|

If this stream is a broadcast stream, the result stream will be as well, regardless the types of streams in others. If a single subscription stream is merged into a broadcast stream it may never be canceled since there may be broadcast listeners added later.

If a broadcast stream is merged into a single-subscription stream any events emitted by that stream before the result stream has a subscriber will be discarded.

Implementation

Stream<T> mergeAll(Iterable<Stream<T>> others) {
  final controller = isBroadcast
      ? StreamController<T>.broadcast(sync: true)
      : StreamController<T>(sync: true);

  final allStreams = [
    this,
    for (final other in others)
      !isBroadcast || other.isBroadcast ? other : other.asBroadcastStream(),
  ];

  controller.onListen = () {
    final subscriptions = <StreamSubscription<T>>[];
    for (final stream in allStreams) {
      final subscription =
          stream.listen(controller.add, onError: controller.addError);
      subscription.onDone(() {
        subscriptions.remove(subscription);
        if (subscriptions.isEmpty) controller.close();
      });
      subscriptions.add(subscription);
    }
    if (!isBroadcast) {
      controller
        ..onPause = () {
          for (final subscription in subscriptions) {
            subscription.pause();
          }
        }
        ..onResume = () {
          for (final subscription in subscriptions) {
            subscription.resume();
          }
        };
    }
    controller.onCancel = () {
      if (subscriptions.isEmpty) return null;
      return [for (var s in subscriptions) s.cancel()]
          .wait
          .then(ignoreArgument);
    };
  };
  return controller.stream;
