Kotlin State & Shared Flows in Action

on YouTube ↗29m

" summary

Concrete rules and examples for using Kotlin coroutines flows: stateFlow caches latest and requires a default value and .value updates; sharedFlow supports replay, extra buffer capacity, and exposes subscriptionCount as a StateFlow and does not complete normally; guidance to migrate BroadcastChannel code mapping send→emit and trySend→tryEmit; how to convert cold flows with shareIn using whileSubscribed, eagerly, or lazily; and buffer overflow strategies with explicit choices suspend, dropOldest, dropLatest.
