### <a name="unused-disposable"></a>Unused disposable (unused-disposable)
|
|
|
|
The following is valid for the `subscribe*`, `bind*` and `drive*` family of functions that return `Disposable`.
|
|
|
|
Warning is probably presented in a context similar to this one:
|
|
|
|
```Swift
|
|
let xs: Observable<E> ....
|
|
|
|
xs
|
|
.filter { ... }
|
|
.map { ... }
|
|
.switchLatest()
|
|
.subscribe(onNext: {
|
|
...
|
|
}, onError: {
|
|
...
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `subscribe` function returns a subscription `Disposable` that can be used to cancel computation and free resources.
|
|
|
|
The preferred way of terminating these fluent calls is by using a `DisposeBag`, either through chaining a call to `.addDisposableTo(disposeBag)` or by adding the disposable directly to the bag.
|
|
|
|
```Swift
|
|
let xs: Observable<E> ....
|
|
let disposeBag = DisposeBag()
|
|
|
|
xs
|
|
.filter { ... }
|
|
.map { ... }
|
|
.switchLatest()
|
|
.subscribe(onNext: {
|
|
...
|
|
}, onError: {
|
|
...
|
|
})
|
|
.addDisposableTo(disposeBag) // <--- note `addDisposableTo`
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
When `disposeBag` gets deallocated, the disposables contained in it will be automatically disposed.
|
|
|
|
In the case where `xs` terminates in a predictable way with either a `Completed` or `Error` message, not handling the subscription `Disposable` won't leak any resources. However, even in this case, using a dispose bag is still the preferred way to handle subscription disposables. It ensures that element computation is always terminated at a predictable moment, and makes your code robust and future proof because resources will be properly disposed even if the implementation of `xs` changes.
|
|
|
|
Another way to make sure subscriptions and resources are tied with the lifetime of some object is by using the `takeUntil` operator.
|
|
|
|
```Swift
|
|
let xs: Observable<E> ....
|
|
let someObject: NSObject ...
|
|
|
|
_ = xs
|
|
.filter { ... }
|
|
.map { ... }
|
|
.switchLatest()
|
|
.takeUntil(someObject.rx_deallocated) // <-- note the `takeUntil` operator
|
|
.subscribe(onNext: {
|
|
...
|
|
}, onError: {
|
|
...
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If ignoring the subscription `Disposable` is desired behavior, this is how to silence the compiler warning.
|
|
|
|
```Swift
|
|
let xs: Observable<E> ....
|
|
|
|
_ = xs // <-- note the underscore
|
|
.filter { ... }
|
|
.map { ... }
|
|
.switchLatest()
|
|
.subscribe(onNext: {
|
|
...
|
|
}, onError: {
|
|
...
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### <a name="unused-observable"></a>Unused observable sequence (unused-observable)
|
|
|
|
Warning is probably presented in a context similar to this one:
|
|
|
|
```Swift
|
|
let xs: Observable<E> ....
|
|
|
|
xs
|
|
.filter { ... }
|
|
.map { ... }
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This code defines an observable sequence that is filtered and mapped from the `xs` sequence but then ignores the result.
|
|
|
|
Since this code just defines an observable sequence and then ignores it, it doesn't actually do anything.
|
|
|
|
Your intention was probably to either store the observable sequence definition and use it later ...
|
|
|
|
```Swift
|
|
let xs: Observable<E> ....
|
|
|
|
let ys = xs // <--- names definition as `ys`
|
|
.filter { ... }
|
|
.map { ... }
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
... or start computation based on that definition
|
|
|
|
```Swift
|
|
let xs: Observable<E> ....
|
|
let disposeBag = DisposeBag()
|
|
|
|
xs
|
|
.filter { ... }
|
|
.map { ... }
|
|
.subscribeNext { nextElement in // <-- note the `subscribe*` method
|
|
// use the element
|
|
print(nextElement)
|
|
}
|
|
.addDisposableTo(disposeBag)
|
|
```
