OwnedSignal

This only kills the subscription, but this signal might also have other listeners

Subscribe an external observer to this observable

This is the method that subclasses override to preserve the user's ability to set custom display names.

Create an external observer from a function and subscribe it to this observable.

Note: since you won't have a reference to the observer, you will need to call Subscription.kill() to unsubscribe

value is passed by name, so it will be evaluated whenever the Observable fires. Use it to sample mutable values (e.g. myInput.ref.value in Laminar).

See also: mapToStrict

value is evaluated strictly, only once, when this method is called.

Add a noop observer to this signal to ensure that it's started. This lets you access .now and .tryNow on the resulting StrictSignal.

You can use myStream.toWeakSignal.observe.tryNow() to read the last emitted value from event streams just as well.

Set the display name for this instance (observable or observer).

• This method modifies the instance and returns this. It does not create a new instance.
• New name you set will override the previous name, if any. This might change in the future. For the sake of sanity, don't call this more than once for the same instance.
• If display name is set, toString will output it instead of the standard type@hashcode string

Override defaultDisplayName instead of this, if you need to.

Convert this observable to a signal of Option[A]. If it is a stream, set initial value to None.
