+/// A single-subscription [stream] where the contents are provided later.
+///
+/// It is generally recommended that you never create a `Future<Stream>`
+/// because you can just directly create a stream that doesn't do anything
+/// until it's ready to do so.
+/// This class can be used to create such a stream.
+///
+/// The [stream] is a normal stream that you can listen to immediately,
+/// but until either [setSourceStream] or [setEmpty] is called,
+/// the stream won't produce any events.
+///
+/// The same effect can be achieved by using a [StreamController]
+/// and adding the stream using `addStream` when both
+/// the controller's stream is listened to and the source stream is ready.
+/// This class attempts to shortcut some of the overhead when possible.
+/// For example, if the [stream] is only listened to
+/// after the source stream has been set,
+/// the listen is performed directly on the source stream.
+class StreamCompleter<T> {
+  /// The stream doing the actual work, is returned by [stream].
+  final _CompleterStream _stream = new _CompleterStream<T>();
+
+  /// Convert a `Future<Stream>` to a `Stream`.
+  ///
+  /// This creates a stream using a stream completer,
+  /// and sets the source stream to the result of the future when the
+  /// future completes.
+  ///
+  /// If the future completes with an error, the returned stream will
+  /// instead contain just that error.
+  static Stream fromFuture(Future<Stream> streamFuture) {

+                      onError: (e, s) {
+                        completer.setSourceStream(streamFuture.asStream());

+  ///
+  /// When a source stream is provided, its events will be forwarded to
+  /// listeners on this stream.

+  /// The stream can be listened either before or after a source stream
+  /// is set.

Document that this is always single-subscription, regardless of whether the
stream is completed with a single-subscription or a broadcast stream.

[Lasse Reichstein Nielsen, 2015/07/01 08:24:57]

Done.

It looks like this is never completed.

[Lasse Reichstein Nielsen, 2015/07/01 08:24:57]

True. It should be completed when the source stream subscription is done or
canceled. I don't think it's necessary for anything, so I'll remove it.

+
+  StreamSubscription<T> listen(onData(T data),
+                               {Function onError,
+                                void onDone(),
+                                bool cancelOnError}) {
+    if (_controller == null) {
+      if (_sourceStream != null && !_sourceStream.isBroadcast) {
+        // If the source stream is itself single subscription,
+        // just listen to it directly instead of creating a controller.
+        return _sourceStream.listen(onData, onError: onError, onDone: onDone,
+                                    cancelOnError: cancelOnError);
+      }
+      _createController();
+      if (_sourceStream != null) {
+        _linkStreamToController();
+      }
+    }
+    return _controller.stream.listen(onData, onError: onError, onDone: onDone,
+                                     cancelOnError: cancelOnError);
+  }
+
+  /// Whether a source stream has been set.
+  ///
+  /// Used to throw an error if trying to set a source stream twice.
+  bool get _isSourceStreamSet => _sourceStream != null;
+
+  /// Sets the source stream providing the events for this stream.
+  ///
+  /// If set before the user listens, listen calls will be directed directly

[nweiz, 2015/06/30 23:39:47]

It looks like this return value is unused. Should
[StreamCompleter.setSourceStream] return it?

[Lasse Reichstein Nielsen, 2015/07/01 08:24:57]

I removed the _doneCompleter entirely. If someone needs to know when a stream is
done, they should wrap it instead of expecting the user of the stream to notify
them.

+    assert(_sourceStream == null);
+    _sourceStream = sourceStream;
+    if (_controller != null) {
+      // User has already listened, so provide the data through controller.
+      _linkStreamToController();
+    }
+    return _doneCompleter.future;
+  }
+
+  /// Links source stream to controller when both are available.
+  void _linkStreamToController() {
+    assert(_controller != null);
+    assert(_sourceStream != null);
+    _controller.addStream(_sourceStream, cancelOnError: false)
+               .whenComplete(_controller.close);
+  }
+
+  /// Sets an empty source stream.
+  ///
+  /// Uses [_controller] for the stream, then closes the controller
+  /// immediately.
+  void _setEmpty() {
+    assert(_sourceStream == null);
+    if (_controller == null) {
+      _createController();
+    }
+    _sourceStream = _controller.stream;  // Mark stream as set.
+    _controller.close();
+  }
+
+  // Creates the [_controller].
+  void _createController() {
+    assert(_controller == null);
+    _controller = new StreamController<T>(sync: true);
+  }
+}
