I want MutableSharedFlow to keep the values 1, 2 in it’s buffer if no one is collecting it.

It will not work, you need channel for this

SharedFlow allows only “repeat” behaviour, when you specify how many items will be sent to new subscriber

Are you looking for replayCache?

[gildor]

replayCache is the same as replay param in MutableSharedFlow

[ninad thakare]

What I want is for it to accumulate the data till someone first subscribes. Not subsequent subscribes. So replay is out of the picture

[gildor]

yep, this how channel with buffer works

[ninad thakare]

Not how I want it to work. I want all the subsequent subscribers to get all the events

[gildor]

If you need multicast, use BroadcastChannel

But then it doesn’t keep the buffer. I tried passing capacity = Channel.UNLIMITED. It crashes
