Kotlin Flow have pipe like rxjs sample? https://rxjs.dev/api/operators/sample

[Sam]

As far as I understand it, pipe is used to avoid nesting lots of operators. Kotlin uses extension functions for Flow operators, which solves the same problem, so there's no need for a pipe equivalent.

[Sam]

By nested operators, I mean something like the example in the docs you linked to:

op4()(op3()(op2()(op1()(obs))))

[Sam]

In Kotlin, it would be more like

flow.op1().op2().op3().op4()

[Alderson Elliot]

sorry, I don’t have a problem with the extended way of writing Flow. I want to achieve the effect of the rxjs sample in kotlin Flow

[Sam]

Oh I see, you were asking about sample rather than pipe

[Sam]

I misunderstood your question!

[Alderson Elliot]

Sorry, my native language is not English😣

[Sam]

I think you could achieve the behaviour of sample by using combine or maybe combineLatest

[Alderson Elliot]

Flow also has the sample method, but it doesn’t seem to be the same as the sample operator in rxjs

two flow with one list solved😄
