Flow.fromSinkAndSourceCoupled

Allows coupling termination (cancellation, completion, erroring) of Sinks and Sources while creating a Flow between them.

Flow operators composed of Sinks and Sources

Description

See Flow.fromSinkAndSource for docs on the general workings and examples.

This operator only adds coupled termination to what fromSinkAndSource does: If the emitted Flow gets a cancellation, the Source is cancelled, however the Sink will also be completed. The table below illustrates the effects in detail:

Returned Flow Sink (in) Source (out)
cause: upstream (sink-side) receives completion effect: receives completion effect: receives cancel
cause: upstream (sink-side) receives error effect: receives error effect: receives cancel
cause: downstream (source-side) receives cancel effect: completes effect: receives cancel
effect: cancels upstream, completes downstream effect: completes cause: signals complete
effect: cancels upstream, errors downstream effect: receives error cause: signals error or throws
effect: cancels upstream, completes downstream cause: cancels effect: receives cancel

The order in which the in and out sides receive their respective completion signals is not defined, do not rely on its ordering.
