Does it make sense to have a

flow

that inside does an

async{}

call? For instance

flow<List<Foo>>{
  val list = getFromApi()
  val one = async(<http://Dispatchers.IO|Dispatchers.IO>)
  val two = async(<http://Dispatchers.IO|Dispatchers.IO>)
  val correctList = one.await() + two.await()
  emit(correctList)
}

Or it's better to use async without flow here? That's pseudo because to do

async

I need a

coroutineScope

is there any way to get it from the

flow

?

You need a scope to collect the flow. Or a

coroutineScope

to do the

async

calls. I would do the latter if it really doesn't need to be a flow.

means? you wouldn't use flow?

async basically does the same thing as an rx single. just simpler. That’s probably why there is no SingleFlow’

It would probably be more idiomatic to just make this a suspend function, so that it’s up to the caller whether to wait for it to finish or run concurrently.
