PagingDataTransforms

public static final @NonNull PagingData<@NonNull T> <T extends Object> filter(
    @NonNull PagingData<@NonNull T> receiver,
    @NonNull Executor executor,
    @NonNull Function1<@NonNull T, @NonNull Boolean> predicate
)

Returns a PagingData containing only elements matching the given predicate.

public static final @NonNull PagingData<@NonNull R> <T extends Object, R extends Object> flatMap(
    @NonNull PagingData<@NonNull T> receiver,
    @NonNull Executor executor,
    @NonNull Function1<@NonNull T, @NonNull Iterable<@NonNull R>> transform
)

Returns a PagingData of all elements returned from applying the given transform to each element, as it is loaded.

public static final @NonNull PagingData<@NonNull T> <T extends Object> insertFooterItem(
    @NonNull PagingData<@NonNull T> receiver,
    @NonNull TerminalSeparatorType terminalSeparatorType,
    @NonNull T item
)

Returns a PagingData containing each original element, with the passed footer item added to the end of the list.

The footer item is added to a loaded page which marks the end of the data stream in the LoadType.APPEND direction, either by returning null in PagingSource.LoadResult.Page.nextKey. It will be removed if the last page in the list is dropped, which can happen in the case of loaded pages exceeding PagingConfig.maxSize.

Note: This operation is not idempotent, calling it multiple times will continually add more footers to the end of the list, which can be useful if multiple footer items are required.

public static final @NonNull PagingData<@NonNull T> <T extends Object> insertHeaderItem(
    @NonNull PagingData<@NonNull T> receiver,
    @NonNull TerminalSeparatorType terminalSeparatorType,
    @NonNull T item
)

Returns a PagingData containing each original element, with the passed header item added to the start of the list.

The header item is added to a loaded page which marks the end of the data stream in the LoadType.PREPEND direction by returning null in PagingSource.LoadResult.Page.prevKey. It will be removed if the first page in the list is dropped, which can happen in the case of loaded pages exceeding PagingConfig.maxSize.

Note: This operation is not idempotent, calling it multiple times will continually add more headers to the start of the list, which can be useful if multiple header items are required.

public static final @NonNull PagingData<@NonNull R> <R extends Object, T extends R> insertSeparators(
    @NonNull PagingData<@NonNull T> receiver,
    @NonNull TerminalSeparatorType terminalSeparatorType,
    @NonNull Executor executor,
    @NonNull Function2<T, T, R> generator
)

Returns a PagingData containing each original element, with an optional separator generated by generator, given the elements before and after (or null, in boundary conditions).

Note that this transform is applied asynchronously, as pages are loaded. Potential separators between pages are only computed once both pages are loaded.

Kotlin callers should instead use the suspending extension function variant of insertSeparators
