:wave: — what’s the “correct” way to retrieve a JWT saved in a Proto DataStore in an API client? I have a DataSource which wraps the Flow from DataStore, but it’s not obvious how I can get the “latest token” from the flow — `last` on the flow blocks the app, and `collectLatest` gives me a closure not a return value, so I’m a little confused on what I do :face_with_spiral_eyes: :dizzy_face:

Here’s the options I have so far — any guidance you can provide would be very very helpful! :bow:

Solved this by launching a new coroutine in `init` specifically to copy from the flow to an instance variable on the API client:

```    init {
        scope.launch {
            apiPreferencesDataSource.apiData.collect { apiData -&gt;
                Log.d("PartScanClient", "[INIT] getConfig: apiData='$apiData'")

                this@PartScanClient.token = apiData.token
            }
        }
    }```
not confident this is the recommended way to get this done, but, it works
