Manually disposing a DisposeBag in RxSwift

Question

I want to cancel a request and one of the ways is to manually remove the disposable bag.

.addDisposableTo(disposeBag)

As I have the disposeBag object, is there a good way to cancel the request other than that I mentioned above?

Answer 1

You have to just change reference to your disposeBag object. Make it nil or assign new object to disposeBag.

All request will be cancelled.

Answer 2

Another option, besides deallocating a DisposeBag, is to use CompositeDisposable, which has an explicit dispose method.

will this dispose the new subscription or its just like clear of RxJava? – Hanrahan

CompositeDisposable is the ticket here. – Sproul

Note that CompositeDisposable does not dispose on deinit. IT IS NOT A REPLACEMENT FOR A DisposeBag. You should still add your CompositeDisposable to another DisposeBag or make sure you manually dispose of it on your deinit method. – Riotous

Answer 3

You just need to reinitialise the dispose bag reference:

disposeBag = .init()
