is there a factory to fan-in two Flow<T> instances into a single Flow<T>

[Dominaezzz]

There's zip and combine.

[groostav]

combine is not what im looking for, I'm not looking to make two Flow<T> into a Flow<R> by matching events, I'm looking to multiplex the two events

[groostav]

with channels I'd use produce with a select statement. I think the same is true here.

[octylFractal]

make a flowOf(a, b) and flatMapCombine?

[octylFractal]

or rather, if you need to multiplex, flatMapMerge

[octylFractal]

oop, those are for doing flat map as well. but it's the right direction, the one you really want is in the docs of that one: flattenMerge

[ursus]

like rx merge?

[groostav]

@Seri thanks for this, I did end up with flattenMerge though progress with it has been tough

👍

note to self: there is a big difference between flow.map { it.also { "INFO: $it" }} and flow.map { it.also { println("INFO: $it") } }. 🤦‍♂️
