Hey to all. Quick question. How can I use flow to emit a value every X seconds for example ? Is there any API available or do I have to build a Flow myself ?

```fun foo(): Flow&lt;Int&gt; = flow {
    for (i in 1..3) {
        delay(100)
        emit(i)
    }
}```

Yes exactly that's how I intend to build it myself. Was only asking if there was already an function available where you just put a value generator and a delay duration. But thanks anyways

Or analogous to the `interval`  from Rx. But it is astonishingly easy to create that yourself with *flow* so probably they keep the API small

You can also use a `Sequence` to generate the numbers and convert it to a flow that's delayed
```generateSequence(0) { it + 1 }
    .asFlow()
    .delayEach(100)
    ...```

or in his example above
```(1..3).asFlow().delayEach(100)```
It ends up coming down to syntax preference and what makes sense for your use case though :)

You mean you need a operator like `emitByPeriod()` or something like that ?
