Subscribe an external observer to this observable

Child observable should call this method on its parents when it is started. This observable calls onStart if this action has given it its first observer (internal or external).

Subscribe an external observer to this observable

This should only be called when all inputs are ready. It will throw if the required parent values are missing.

See docs for DebounceEventStream

This is the method that subclasses override to preserve the user's ability to set custom display names.

Make a stream that emits this stream's values but waits for after stream to emit first in a given transaction. You can use this for Signals too with Signal.composeChanges (see docs for more details)

Note: Observer can be added more than once to an Observable. If so, it will observe each event as many times as it was added.

Create an external observer from a function and subscribe it to this observable.

Note: since you won't have a reference to the observer, you will need to call Subscription.kill() to unsubscribe

Check whether inputs (parent observables' values) are all available to be combined.

Note: This is enforced to be a Set outside of the type system #performance

value is passed by name, so it will be evaluated whenever the Observable fires. Use it to sample mutable values (e.g. myInput.ref.value in Laminar).

value is evaluated strictly, only once, when this method is called.

This name should identify the instance (observable or observer) uniquely enough for your purposes. You can read / write it to simplify debugging. Airstream uses this in debugLog* methods. In the future, we will expand on this. #TODO[Debug] We don't use this to its full potential yet.

Total number of internal and external observers

Implementations should call this instead of .fireValue() / .fireTry() Transaction will call syncFire when it's time, and that in turn will evaluate maybeCombinedValue and call .fireTry()

This method is fired when this observable starts working (listening for parent events and/or firing its own events), that is, when it gets its first Observer (internal or external).

onStart can potentially be called multiple times, the second time being after it has stopped (see onStop).

This method is fired when this observable stops working (listening for parent events and/or firing its own events), that is, when it loses its last Observer (internal or external).

onStop can potentially be called multiple times, the second time being after it has started again (see onStart).

Parent observers are not immediately active. onStart/onStop regulates that.

See docs for MapEventStream

Convert this to an observable that emits Failure(err) instead of erroring

Child observable should call Transaction.removeInternalObserver(parent, childInternalObserver) when it is stopped. This observable calls onStop if this action has removed its last observer (internal or external).

Set the display name for this instance (observable or observer). - This method modifies the instance and returns this. It does not create a new instance. - New name you set will override the previous name, if any. This might change in the future. For the sake of sanity, don't call this more than once for the same instance. - If display name is set, toString will output it instead of the standard type@hashcode string

See docs for ThrottleEventStream

Override defaultDisplayName instead of this, if you need to.

Convert this observable to a signal of Option[A]. If it is a stream, set initial value to None.

Note: Use Protected.topoRank(observable) to read another observable's topoRank if needed
