trait Subscription extends org.reactivestreams.Subscription with Cancelable

The Subscription represents a cross between the Monix Cancelable and org.reactivestreams.Subcription.

Represents a one-to-one lifecycle of a Subscriber subscribing to a Publisher and mirrors the Subscription interface from the Reactive Streams specification.

It can be used only once by a single Subscriber. It is used for both signaling demand for data and for canceling demand (and allow resource cleanup).

Abstract Value Members

  1. abstract def cancel(): Unit

    Cancels the unit of work represented by this reference.

    Cancels the unit of work represented by this reference.

    Guaranteed idempotency - calling it multiple times should have the same side-effect as calling it only once. Implementations of this method should also be thread-safe.

    Cancelable
  2. abstract def request(n: Long): Unit

    No events will be sent by a Publisher until demand is signaled via this method.

    No events will be sent by a Publisher until demand is signaled via this method.

    It can be called however often and whenever needed. Whatever has been requested can be sent by the Publisher so only signal demand for what can be safely handled.

    A Publisher can send less than is requested if the stream ends but then must emit either onError or onComplete.

    The Subscriber MAY call this method synchronously in the implementation of its onSubscribe / onNext methods, therefore the effects of this function must be asynchronous, otherwise it could lead to a stack overflow.

    n

    signals demand for the number of onNext events that the Subscriber wants, if positive, then the Publisher is bound by contract to not send more than this number of onNext events and if negative, then this signals to the Publisher that it may send an infinite number of events, until the subscription gets cancelled or the stream is complete.
