[Question] How to use FlowSettings

[fodeguirassy]

Hello

Thanks for this great library you're shipping to us.

I was looking for a basic usage of FlowSettings. I tried the following but getting errors.

Thanks for your help !

What are the errors you're getting?

Try

val flowSettings: FlowSettings = sharedSettings.toFlowSettings()
val flow: Flow<Boolean> = flowSettings.getBooleanFlow("key", false)

[fodeguirassy]

toFlowSettings() seems unavailable.

[russhwolf]

Oh sorry. sharedSettings needs to be ObservableSettings to be able to convert to flow.

Please can you give an example of how to use ObservableSettings, at least I still don't understand how to use it?

I'm also stuck trying to use the Flows API's - it looks like they are either missing or out of sync with the documentation. I am on Desktop JVM.

Can you say more about what you're trying to do? I believe the documentation is correct and up-to-date but maybe there are missing details that are causing confusion.

Do be aware that Flow APIs are only available for ObservableSettings instances, rather than for all Settings. If you're using the no-arg module you'll need to cast the instance returned by Settings() (but be aware that this won't work on all platforms).
