Streams are to Dart, what Events are to JavaScript.
This!! This right here clarified the streams concept. Thanks.
In the case of streaming each key in the code sample, where would you generally use the stream? Since in this case I assume the split() is similar to the js one, so it'd do that synchronously. The example does clarify the concept, I'm just curious as to what use cases there would be
Hey @allanjeremy
, this stream has several applications. For example on the UI you could be simulating a text typing effect. See this DartPad for example.
This may have already been answered pretty well, and I'm not sure a 5 year old will get this, but I'd like to have a go with some code snippets.
So...
In other words, I give you my word that when the time is right, I will provide the full result.
In JavaScript, we would have something along the lines of:
And in Dart:
With streams however:
For example, typing on the keyboard creates a stream/sequence of keypresses, which are processed using events
In JavaScript, we would have something along the lines of:
And in Dart:
with another whereby each letter is streamed as a sequence of single characters.
Hope this enlightens somehow.

Hey Jermaine, thanks for sharing. Managed to wrap my head around the concept through all the great responses
