Is there a naming convention for functions returning a

Flow

? (like Async suffix for the ones returning a

Deferred

)

for me the answer is no, because it is similar to a Stream-returning function, which I don't name differently from other functions. Typically they are named to indicate a collection/iterable, such as

listItems()

Deferred

is error-prone (it’s hot and you must not forget to await!) hence the naming convention to warn the user. There are no such problems with flow, hence no need for a special naming.

Okay, thank you! :)

you must not forget to await!

@elizarov Will you have issues if you don't await, or will you just not get the value?

You will lose exception if the method returning deferred failed, unless it was using structured concurrency.

Ah, I didn't think about that. Thanks!

Somtimes, I suffix the property or function with

Flow

, like

locationUpdatesFlow

.

That's what I was doing, but it's ugly!

Maybe suffix with

AF

for, uh, as flow... :troll:

I'm considering -Flower
