Signature

Source.reduceSource.reduce Flow.reduceFlow.reduce

Description

Start with first element and then apply the current and next value to the given function, when upstream complete the current value is emitted downstream. Similar to fold.

Example

reduce will take a function and apply it on the incoming elements in the Stream and only emits its result when upstream completes. Here, it will add the incoming elements.

Scala

copysourceval source = Source(1 to 100).reduce((acc, element) => acc + element)
val result: Future[Int] = source.runWith(Sink.head)
result.map(println)
// 5050

Java

copysourceSource<Integer, NotUsed> source = Source.range(1, 100).reduce((acc, element) -> acc + element);
CompletionStage<Integer> result = source.runWith(Sink.head(), system);
result.thenAccept(System.out::println);
// 5050
