Signature

Sink.collectionSink.collection

Description

Collect values emitted from the stream into an arbitrary collection That. The resulting collection is available through a Future[That] or when the stream completes. Note that the collection boundaries are those defined in the CanBuildFrom associated with the chosen collection. See The Architecture of Scala 2.13’s Collections for more info. The seq operator is a shorthand for Sink.collection[T, Vector[T]].

Example

This example reads the numbers from a source and stores them in the List collection.

Scala
sourceval source = Source(1 to 5)
val result: Future[List[Int]] = source.runWith(Sink.collection[Int, List[Int]])
result.foreach(println)
// List(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
