Every action launched by a DataFlow is runned in a coroutines context, by default on IO Thread. Then you know that by default, we launch things in background for you 👍
If you need to switch context of the current thread you use from your action:
onIO { }- equivalent of withContext(IO dispatcher)onMain { }- equivalent of withContext(IO Main)onDefault { }- equivalent of withContext(IO default)
And if you need to launch a job on different thread, use:
launchOnIO { }- equivalent of withContext(IO dispatcher)launchOnMain { }- equivalent of withContext(IO Main)launchOnDefault { }- equivalent of withContext(IO default)
note: we simplify here the wirting of such threading operator, as we also make an asbtaction around the used dispatcher to help further testing. See testing section below.
