Flutter : stream two Streams into a single screen?

Question

I have two streams fetching from two different api.

Stream<Month> get monthOutStream => monthOutController.stream;
Stream<MySchedule> get resultOutStream => resultController.stream;

I am fetching these data at two different state of the application, result at the begining and Months after some events from user.

MyScheduleBloc(){
  initialData();
}

Future initialData() async {
  MySchedule mySchedule = await myScheduleViewModel.importMySchedule(now.id);
  resultController.add(mySchedule);
}

My screen has a streambuilder as

Widget build(BuildContext context) {
final webCalenderBloc = WebCalenderBloc();
return StreamBuilder(
  stream: webCalenderBloc.resultOutStream,
  builder: (BuildContext context , snapdata){
    if(!snapdata.hasData){
      return Center(
        child: CircularProgressIndicator(),
      );
    }
    return body(snapdata.data);
   },
 );
}

Since the main widget build method took the StreamBuilder Widget with resultoutstream as a stream.Where do i fetch the other stream monthoutStream. Can i fetch stream inside a stream? Do i missing anything while handling two stream.I dont want to build any widget from monthoutstream but want to check the data inside it.

You can nest StreamBuilder if needed. Nothing prevents you from doing the following:

StreamBuilder(
  stream: stream1,
  builder: (context, snapshot1) {
    return StreamBuilder(
      stream: stream2,
      builder: (context, snapshot2) {
        // do some stuff with both streams here
      },
    );
  },
)

Another solution if this makes sense for you is: Streams are designed to be mergeable/transformed. You could make a third stream that is a merge of the two later streams.

Ideally for complex stream operations you'll want to use rxdart as it provides a few useful transformer.

Using rxdart, the fusion of two Observable (which are subclass of Stream) would be the following:

Observable<bool> stream1;
Observable<String> stream2;

final fusion = stream1.withLatestFrom(stream2, (foo, bar) {
  return MyClass(foo: foo, bar: bar);
});
