is there some quick way to forward collection to another flow?

Something like

val flowA: MutableSharedFlow<Int>

flowB.collectTo(flowA)

I know there's shareIn, but it creates a new flow, while I have an existing one.

I don't believe there is anything like emitAll() for MutableSharedFlow, but you may be able to do flowB.collect(flowA::emit)

[dimsuz]

good enough, thanks! 👍

[Zach Klippenstein (he/him) [MOD]]

MutableSharedFlow implements FlowCollector so you should just be able to do flowB.collect(flowA)

[Joffrey]

Good point, I had missed that

[dimsuz]

Hm. I tried that, but it was highlighted as an error. Re-checked and it's because this overload of collect is marked with @InternalCorouinteApi...

Ah yes, it won't be marked internal anymore in coroutines 1.6.0 (or maybe RC3 if there is one)
