I want to unsubscribe from Observable in RxSwift. In order to do this I used to set Disposable to nil. But it seems to me that after updating to RxSwift 3.0.0-beta.2 this trick does not work and I can not unsubscribe from Observable:
//This is what I used to do when I wanted to unsubscribe
var cancellableDisposeBag: DisposeBag?
func setDisposable(){
cancellableDisposeBag = DisposeBag()
}
func cancelDisposable(){
cancellableDisposeBag = nil
}
So may be somebody can help me how to unsubscribe from Observable correctly?
In general it is good practice to out all of your subscriptions in a DisposeBag so when your object that contains your subscriptions is deallocated they are too.
let disposeBag = DisposeBag()
func setupRX() {
button.rx.tap.subscribe(onNext : { _ in
print("Hola mundo")
}).addDisposableTo(disposeBag)
}
but if you have a subscription you want to kill before hand you simply call dispose() on it when you want too
like this:
let disposable = button.rx.tap.subcribe(onNext : {_ in
print("Hallo World")
})
Anytime you can call this method and unsubscribe.
disposable.dispose()
But be aware when you do it like this that it your responsibility to get it deallocated.
Follow up with answer to Shim's question
let disposeBag = DisposeBag()
let subscription: Disposable?
func setupRX() {
let subscription = button.rx.tap.subscribe(onNext : { _ in
print("Hola mundo")
})
subscription?.addDisposableTo(disposeBag)
}
You can still call this method later
subscription?.dispose()
