Distinct ValueStream about rxdart

[Cgende]

Ok, that'll work then when that is fixed. On a side note, is there a reason this isn't available out of the box with regular Rx dart?

You can check my library: https://github.com/hoc081098/rxdart_ext#3-statestream

This seems like it could work, but why does StateSubject.stream return a regular Stream instead of a ValueStream? Is the only way to get the latest value synchronously to use the StateSubject object itself? This means I would have to update the type annotations of the code that uses this.

Thanks for pointing that, it seem to be a bug.

I encountered the same issue 2 years ago when using Flutter & StreamBuilder, I wrote and published distinct_value_connectable_stream.
Recently, I merged it to rxdart_ext and rename DistinctValue to State (inspired by Kotlinx Coroutines StateFlow).

On a side note, is there a reason this isn't available out of the box with regular Rx.

Because StateSubject is not a standard Subject in ReactiveX (includes: PublishSubject, BehaviorSubject, AsyncSubject, ReplaySubject).
So I decided to publish it in another package (rxdart_ext) :)).
I'm afraid including it in rxdart may confuse many users.
