Example

This example prints the first 4 elements emitted by Source.repeat.

Scala

copysourceval source: Source[Int, NotUsed] = Source.repeat(42)
val f = source.take(4).runWith(Sink.foreach(println))
// 42
// 42
// 42
// 42

Java

copysourceSource<Integer, NotUsed> source = Source.repeat(42);
CompletionStage<Done> f = source.take(4).runWith(Sink.foreach(System.out::println), system);
// 42
// 42
// 42
// 42
