Do you know how 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗟𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁 works in Kotlin flows? 🤔💡

There are many flow operators in Kotlin flows, and today, we'll look into 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗟𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁.

The name of the operator is self-explanatory. It 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝘀 o͟n͟l͟y͟ the 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁 value.

In our example, we receive events B and C, sent 500 ms apart. Our transform function has a 5000 ms delay, meaning we only transform something once 5000 ms has passed. ⏳

We received event B, the delay hasn't passed yet, but C has already arrived. Such a scenario causes the transform block that handled the B event 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗱. 🚫 This way, only the block that processes the C event will proceed with the transformation. ➡️ ✅

Hopefully, this clears up how transformLatest works.
