Swift Combine: no `distinct` operator?

Question

Seems like Combine (shipped with Xcode 11 beta 7) lacks adistinct operator?

Can anyone help me build one? :)

Answer 1

.removeDuplicates() is equivalent to .distinctUntilChanged()

You can do the following to get .distinct() .

@available(OSX 10.15, iOS 13.0, tvOS 13.0, watchOS 6.0, *)
extension Publisher where Self.Output : Equatable {
    public func distinct() -> AnyPublisher<Self.Output, Self.Failure> {
        self.scan(([], nil)) {
            $0.0.contains($1) ? ($0.0, nil) : ($0.0 + [$1], $1)
        }
        .compactMap { $0.1 }
        .eraseToAnyPublisher()
    }
}
