Experimental operators for C# 8 IAsyncEnumerables.

Travis-CI: NuGet:

Getting started

Namespace: async_enumerable_dotnet

Factory/Extension methods: AsyncEnumerable

var result = AsyncEnumerable.Range(1, 10)
    .Filter(v => v % 2 == 0)
    .Map(v => v * 2)
    .Take(5)
    ;

var enumerator = result.GetAsyncEnumerator();

try
{
    while (await enumerator.MoveNextAsync()) 
    {
        Console.WriteLine(enumerator.Current);
    }
	Console.WriteLine("Done");
}
finally
{
    await enumerator.DisposeAsync();
}

Available sources

Amb - Relay items of the source that responds first, disposing the others
Create - generate values via async push
CombineLatest - combines the latest items of the source async sequences via a function into results
Concat - concatenate multiple async sequences
ConcatEager - run multiple async sequences at once but relay elements in order similar to Concat
Defer - defer the creation of the actual IAsyncEnumerable
Error - signal an error
Empty - the async sequence ends without any values
FromArray - emit the items of an array
FromEnumerable - emit the items of an IEnumerable
FromTask - emit the value returned by an async task
FromObservable - convert an IObservable into an IAsyncEnumerable
Interval - periodically signal an ever increasing number
Just - emit a single constant value
Merge - run multiple sources at once and merge their items into a single async sequence
Never - the async sequence never produces any items and never terminates
Range - emit a range of numbers
Switch - switch between inner async sources produced by an outer async sequence
Timer - emit zero after some time delay
Using - use a resource for the duration of a generated actual IAsyncEnumerable
Zip - combine the next values of multiple sources via a function and emit its results

Intermediate operators

Any - signals true if any of the source items matched a predicate
All - signals true if all of the source items matched a predicate
Buffer - collect some number of items into buffer(s) and emit those buffers
Collect - collect items into a custom collection and emit the collection at the end
ConcatMap - concatenate in order the inner async sequences mapped from the main sequence
ConcatMapEager - run the async sources at once but relay elements in order similar to ConcatMap
ConcatWith - concatenate in order with another async sequence
Count - count the number of items in the async sequence
Distinct - makes sure only distinct elements get relayed
DistinctUntilChanged - relays an element only if it is distinct from the previous item
Debounce - wait a bit after each item and emit them if no newer item arrived from the source
DefaultIfEmpty - return a fallback value if the source async sequence turns out to be empty
DoOnNext - execute an action when an item becomes available
DoOnDispose - execute an action when the async sequence gets disposed.
ElementAt - get the element at a specified index or an error/default value
Filter - prevent items from passing through which don't pass a predicate
First - signals the first item of the async sequence
FlatMap - map the source items into IAsyncEnumerables and merge their values into a single async sequence
GroupBy - groups the source elements into distinct async groups
IgnoreElements - ignores items and ends when the source async sequence ends
IsEmpty - signals a single true if the source is empty
Last - signals the last item of the async sequence
Latest - runs the source async sequence as fast as it can and samples it with the frequency of the consumer
Map - transform one source value into some other value
MergeWith - run two async sources at once and merge their items into a single async sequence
OnErrorResumeNext - if the main source fails, switch to an alternative source
Prefetch - run the source async sequence to prefetch items for a slow consumer
Publish - consume an async sequence once while multicasting its items to intermediate consumers for the duration of a function.
Reduce - combine elements with an accumulator and emit the last result
Repeat - repeatedly consume the entire source async sequence (up to a number of times and/or condition)
Replay - consume an async sequence once, caching some or all of its items and multicasting them to intermediate consumers for the duration of a function.
Retry - retry a failed async sequence (up to a number of times or based on condition)
Sample - periodically take the latest item from the source sequence and emit it
Scan - perform rolling aggregation by emitting intermediate results
Single - signals the only item of the async sequence, fails if the sequence has more than one item
Skip - skip the first specified number of items of the source async sequence
SkipLast - skip the last number of elements
SkipUntil - skip until another async sequence signals an item or completes
SkipWhile - skip items while the predicate returns true, start emitting when it turns false
SwitchIfEmpty - switch to an alternate async sequence if the main sequence turns out to be empty
SwitchMap - switch to a newer mapped-in async sequence, disposing the old one, whenever the source produces an item
Take - take at most a given number of items and stop the async sequence after that
TakeLast - take the last given number of items of the source async sequence and emit those
TakeUntil - take items from the main source until a secondary async sequence signals an item or completes
TakeWhile - take items while predicate is true and stop when it turns false
Timeout - signal an error if the next item doesn't arrive within the specified time
ToList - collects all items into a List and signals it as the single result of the async sequence
WithLatestFrom - combines the elements of the main sequence with the latest value(s) from other sequence(s)

End-consumers

Consume - consume the async sequence via a awaitable push interface of IAsyncConsumer
FirstAsync - get the very first value of the async sequence
ForEach - invoke callbacks for each item and for the terminal signals
LastAsync - get the very last value of the sequence
SingleAsync - get the only value of the sequence or signal error
ToArrayAsync - get all items as an array
ToEnumerable - convert the IAsyncEnumerable into a blocking IEnumerable
ToListAsync - get all items in an IList
ToObservable - convert the IAsyncEnumerable into an IObservable

Push-pull bridges

MulticastAsyncEnumerable - signals events to currently associated IAsyncEnumerator consumers (aka PublishSubject).
ReplayAsyncEnumerable - replays some or all items to its IAsyncEnumerator consumers (aka ReplaySubject).
UnicastAsyncEnumerable - buffers then replay items for an only consumer

Other components

TestTaskRunner - a class that creates tasks (of value, error or cancellation) that signal when a virtual time is moved forward (aka TestScheduler)

IAsyncConsumer

Represents a push-like consumer where items, an error and/or completion can be signaled and awaited:

public interface IAsyncConsumer<in T>
{
    ValueTask Next(T item);

    ValueTask Error(Exception error);

    ValueTask Complete();
}

The methods must be awaited and called non-concurrently and non-overlappingly with themselves and each other:

Next* (Error | Complete)?
