@ExperimentalCoroutinesApi
fun <T : Any> Observable<PagingData<T>>.cachedIn(scope: CoroutineScope): Observable<PagingData<T>>

Operator which caches an Observable of PagingData within a CoroutineScope.

cachedIn multicasts pages loaded and transformed by a PagingData, allowing multiple observers on the same instance of PagingData to receive the same events, avoiding redundant work, but comes at the cost of buffering those pages in memory.

Calling cachedIn is required to allow calling androidx.paging.AsyncPagingDataAdapter on the same instance of PagingData emitted by Pager or any of its transformed derivatives, as reloading data from scratch on the same generation of PagingData is an unsupported operation.

fun <T : Any> PagingData<T>.filterAsync(predicate: (T) -> Single<Boolean>): PagingData<T>

Returns a PagingData containing only elements matching the given predicate.

fun <T : Any, R : Any> PagingData<T>.flatMapAsync(transform: (T) -> Single<Iterable<R>>): PagingData<R>

Returns a PagingData of all elements returned from applying the given transform to each element, as it is loaded.

fun <T : R, R : Any> PagingData<T>.insertSeparatorsAsync(generator: (T?, T?) -> Maybe<R>): PagingData<R>

Returns a PagingData containing each original element, with an optional separator generated by generator, given the elements before and after (or null, in boundary conditions).

Note that this transform is applied asynchronously, as pages are loaded. Potential separators between pages are only computed once both pages are loaded.

fun <T : Any, R : Any> PagingData<T>.mapAsync(transform: (T) -> Single<R>): PagingData<R>

Returns a PagingData containing the result of applying the given transform to each element, as it is loaded.

val Pager<Key, Value>.flowable: Flowable<PagingData<Value>>

A Flowable of PagingData, which mirrors the stream provided by Pager.flow, but exposes it as a Flowable.

NOTE: Instances of PagingData emitted by this Flowable are not re-usable and cannot be submitted multiple times. This is especially relevant for transforms, which would replay the latest value downstream. To ensure you get a new instance of PagingData for each downstream observer, you should use the cachedIn operator which multicasts the Flowable in a way that returns a new instance of PagingData with cached data pre-loaded.

val Pager<Key, Value>.observable: Observable<PagingData<Value>>
