1.0.2

🎉 Released a new version 1.0.2! 🎉

RetainPolicy

We can limit the policy for retaining data on the temporarily internal storage.
The default policy is no retaining any fetched data from the network, but we can set the policy using the dataRetainPolicy method.

// Retain fetched data on the memory storage temporarily.
// If request again, returns the retained data instead of re-fetching from the network.
dataSource.dataRetainPolicy(DataRetainPolicy.RETAIN)

asLiveData

we can observe fetched data via DataSource as a LiveData.

• if the response is successful, it returns a [LiveData] which contains response data.
• if the response is failure or exception, it returns an empty [LiveData].

val posterListLiveData: LiveData<List<Poster>>

init {
    posterListLiveData = disneyService.fetchDisneyPosterList().toResponseDataSource()
      .retry(3, 5000L)
      .dataRetainPolicy(DataRetainPolicy.RETAIN)
      .request {
        // ...
      }.asLiveData()
  }

toResponseDataSource

If we use DataSourceCallAdapterFactory, we can only get the DataSource interface instead of ResponseDataSource. So in this release, there is a new way to change DataSource to ResponseDataSource.
We can change DataSource to ResponseDataSource after getting instance from network call using the below method.

private val dataSource: ResponseDataSource<List<Poster>>

  init {
    dataSource = disneyService.fetchDisneyPosterList().toResponseDataSource()

    //...
  }
