Hi, I was wondering how to cancel a request in MVI? Lets say an intent starts a network request but another intent must cancel it?

Hi, there are multiple ways. 1. A better way would be to store a Disposable/Job in the State. 2. Or you can store it directly in the Executor's private property.

There are cases when you need to cancel previously running task before starting a new one. In this case I usually have a private property with PublishSubject<Unit>. And for each task I first do subject.onNext(Unit), and then myNewTask.takeUntil(subject).
