Hi! How can I use

reaktive

with

ktor

for http calls?

Hello! Please read the following section of the README: https://github.com/badoo/Reaktive#coroutines-interop In general, Ktor crashes in multi-threaded environment. Assuming you are using the full multi-threading power of Reaktive, it's quite easy to freeze Ktor Client by accident in Kotlin/Native, so it will crash. I really recommend to avoid using Ktor currently and replace with a simple expect/actual. But if you have to use Ktor, then you can try the provided in the README "unsafe" solution.

is there an issuetracker page for this that I can follow on ktor’s github?

Hello, Arkadii! I read this section, but it wasn’t clear to me. Now I confirmed what I had understood. In this case, I need to implement my networking layer using the standard HTTP API of the target (

HttpUrlConnection

for Java / Kotlin and

NSURLConnection

for iOS)?

Yes this would be a perfect solution from my point of view! You can derive your implementation from my article: https://badootech.badoo.com/mvi-in-kotlin-multiplatform-part-2-2-of-3-3faab535de02?source=friends_link&sk=a7a347e49202e139d5cd7533d2a97141 Checkout the "Implementing KittenDataSource" section.

this is such a nice illustration

Thanks @Arkadii Ivanov!

For Android we are using HttpUrlConnection, again this is a popular way of loading data in Android.

@Arkadii Ivanov I don’t think anyone

HttpUrlConnection

anymore :p

@saket

this is such a nice illustration

Thanks! We were working hard on this)))

I don’t think anyone 

HttpUrlConnection

 anymore

Well, I think this is the common way for low level networking, isn't it? Of course you can use Retrofit or other frameworks :-)

right everyone uses some abstraction on top of httpurlconnection

I will ask!

Awesome. Any chances

part 1

and

business logic

be removed/changed? They’d look weird in wallpapers lol.

Will PM you
