The doc on StateFlow contains this statement:

So a slow collector skips fast updates, but always collects the most recently emitted value.

What’s the actual threshold that makes it skip states? Do I need to add a delay call if I want to force some State to NOT be skipped?

[Tijl]

there is no threshold. if the collector does not collect before the next value is emited, it will miss it

[Tijl]

if you want a buffer then use SharedFlow (new in kotlinx.coroutines 1.4)

ok I understand, thanks 🙂
