Have there been any discussions around exposing Combine extensions for reaktive streams?

[Arkadii Ivanov]

Nope. Is it technically possible to access Combine from Kotlin?

[saket]

Ah right, that doesn’t make sense. I’ll have to maintain something in my swift sources.

[Arkadii Ivanov]

Maybe it is possible to publish a Swift library with Reaktive extensions 🙂 🤔

[saket]

Truuu. That’ll be useful. I’ll try learning Combine and see if I can add generic extensions to Press and upstream it if it works.

[Arkadii Ivanov]

That would be cool!

This library has Combine extensions for RxSwift, but I’m finding it hard to wrap around my head to how it’s manually buffering and flushing events.:

It is probably a Swift library? It will take a while to dive into it.

Here’s my bad attempt at creating an adapter. I don’t know if it’ll continue to work, but it works so far:

Looks pretty awesome! A possible point to improve would be to write an extension instead of static func asPublisher. And perhaps opposite conversion might be needed.

Swift doesn’t support extensions for obj-c classes that have generic types :(

[Arkadii Ivanov]

Didn't know that. Thanks!
