Hi guys,

I'm trying to convert an rxjava api based into a suspend function.

Can I do something like this?

class UserApiClient(private val rxJavaBasedApi) {
    suspend fun getUser(): User = withContext(<http://Dispatchers.IO|Dispatchers.IO>) {
        rxJavaBasedApi.getUser().blockingGet()
    }
}

Or there's a better approach?

you shouldn’t be using blockingGet

[Dariusz Kuc]

instead just use one of the interop libs -> https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.coroutines/tree/master/reactive/kotlinx-coroutines-rx2

so rxJavaBasedApi.getUser().await()

thank's @Dariusz Kuc
