RemoveDuplicatesAsyncSequence

public struct RemoveDuplicatesAsyncSequence<Base> : AsyncSequence where Base : AsyncSequence, Base.Element : Equatable
extension RemoveDuplicatesAsyncSequence: AsyncIteratorProtocol

An asynchronous sequence that streams only elements from the base asynchronous sequence that don’t match the previous element.

let stream = .init { continuation in
    continuation.yield(1)
    continuation.yield(1)
    continuation.yield(2)
    continuation.yield(3)
    continuation.finish()
}

for await value in stream.removeDuplicates() {
    print(value)
}

// Prints:
// 1
// 2
// 3

  • The kind of elements streamed.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public typealias Element = Base.Element

  • Declaration

    Swift

    public typealias Predicate = (_ previous: Base.Element, _ current: Base.Element) -> Bool

Initialization

  • Creates an async that only emits elements that don’t match the previous element, as evaluated by a provided closure.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public init(
    base: Base,
    predicate: @escaping Predicate
)

    Parameters

    base

    The async sequence in which this sequence receives it’s elements.
    predicate

    A closure to evaluate whether two elements are equivalent.

AsyncSequence

  • Creates an async iterator that emits elements of this async sequence.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public func makeAsyncIterator() -> RemoveDuplicatesAsyncSequence<Base>

    Return Value

    An instance that conforms to AsyncIteratorProtocol.

AsyncIteratorProtocol

  • next() Asynchronous

    Produces the next element in the sequence.

    Continues to call next() on it’s base iterator and discard the results if the predicate returns true.

    The first element of the sequence is always returned.

    If the base iterator returns nil, indicating the end of the sequence, this iterator returns nil.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public mutating func next() async rethrows -> Element?

    Return Value

    The next element or nil if the end of the sequence is reached.
