What is the use case for flows?

multiple values over time

For what use case tho?

are you familiar with RxJava?

Yes

that’s the use case

Thats not a use case

okay

Preferably examples on server side than UI side

it would be represented as

Flow<State>

Basics events?

I don’t do server side dev so I couldn’t tell you

Basically #

yes, events would qualify

Hmm i guess that kinda makes sense

a socket connection?

How?

subscribing to a

Flow<T>

would create a socket connection containing events of type

T

Every stream of events can be represented as Flow: Server requests, socket connection, database updates, periodical events etc Essentially everything where you use callbacks that can be called multiple times. For example check how Spring uses Reactor (which is also reactive library), you can represent whole web service as chain of events where source is request that converted to response event
