Hello, I’m trying to use

StateFlow

to handle a kind of

Event

, but facing issues when trying to set the same value again (for example when the user clicks the same button again, triggering same event). Found this GitHub issue: https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.coroutines/issues/2011 With @elizarov comment:

We'll provide a different, more flexible primitive, for those rare cases when you don't want equality-based conflation. Stay tuned.

Do we have anything in the latest release to handle this scenario?

SharedFlow is what you need

Amazing! Thanks @bezrukov Do you predict any issue in setting up with:

MutableSharedFlow<Event>(1, onBufferOverflow = BufferOverflow.DROP_OLDEST)

Basically I want to use the

tryEmit

in non

suspend

functions.

if you will send more than you can process some events will be lost, so I suggest adding some buffer:

MutableSharedFlow<Event>(1, extraBufferCapacity = ... , onBufferOverflow = BufferOverflow.DROP_OLDEST)

Oh I see, thanks!
