In Flutter, there are three main types of streams: single-subscription streams, broadcast streams, and async streams.
Example: The http.get()
method returns a single-subscription stream that emits a response once, and then closes the stream. You can listen to this stream by calling the asStream()
method on the Future
object returned by http.get()
.
Example: The StreamController
class can be used to create a broadcast stream. You can add listeners to a broadcast stream by calling its listen()
method, and you can add values to the stream by calling its add()
method.
