It seems like this map and filter nesting should not be necessary. Any ideas how to improve it?

filterByStarCountChannel.asFlow()
   .flatMapLatest { minStarCount ->
      userReposRepository.getUserRepos(username)
         .map { repoList ->
             repoList.filter { it.stars >= minStarCount.stars }
          }
       }

your getUserRepos is returning a list of lists? Am I understanding that right? If not, what are you trying to do?

[liminal]

GetUserRepos() returns Flow<List<Repo>>. I want to filter those repos based on minStarCount coming from the channel

[Nico Buescher]

I’m not too familiar with the Flow concept, so given the structure of Flow<List<Repo>>, the map + filter combination is necessary. Perhaps there is a way to use a Flow<Repo> instead?

[liminal]

No, I can’t use Flow<Repo>. Anyway, thanks for helping!
