Is there a way to get the job a SharedFlow is launched in? Basically, I want to do something like this

// a method ...
val (sharedFlow, job) =  flow.shareIn(scope, SharingStarted.Eagerly)
jobs.add(job)
return sharedFlow

What are you doing with jobs ? You could maybe create a CoroutineScope just to share the flow and you would have a Job with a single Job child.

jobs is so I can cancel the flow

@Dominaezzz the point I am getting stuck at is creating the coroutine scope … with the default builder this is not possible afaik

[Andrew Gazelka]

oh wait I think I can just do `CoroutineScope()`… that’s easy

[Andrew Gazelka]

aha

Ah, if it's for cancellation, you just definitely use a scope and Job then. Much easier imo.
