I receive some events from the backend. I want to internally pass the events as a `Flow` or through a `Channel`. After the last event I want to send a "complete" signal. Is there something like this in `Flow`?

Does the “complete” signal need to contain any data? A channel terminates normally if you `close()`  it, but you can’t include any data in the close signal :disappointed: (except by using exceptions, which is gross)

Oh, that would be enough - I just need to signal that the stream completed normally (i.e. has not been canceled). Thanks for your help!

You could also use a `channelFlow` if you like the flow API more

I need a hot flow, so I will probably send the events to a `Channel` and maybe receive it as `Flow`
