How can I get the current value of the Observable<T> type without subscribe func

[DuckDeck]

As the title. So how can I fetch the current value(T) of the Observable type without subscribe func

Hi, @DuckDeck as far as I know current value u can get only within Variable<T>

To clarify the concept of observable I would sagest you to take a look on this video

There is no value to an Observable until you subscribe. What's your use case?

[DuckDeck]

Here is the instance: I can get a Observable from UITextView txt:
let observableTxt = txt.rx_text
so how can I convert observableTxt to txt.text with out subscribe func? I mean to fetch the current value from Observable .

[thanegill]

The observable .rx_text is just a sequence of changes to the .text field so the "current" value is the same as .text.

I know the issue is closed, but for anyone still wondering, here it is:

...
let currentValue;
myObservableFunction().subscribe(v => currentValue = v);
// use currentValue as You wish

Note This will work if the myObservableFunction returns the observable immediately.
If the called function (the one You are subscribing to) is a longer-lasting operation, You should pass the retrieved value to a callback function:

myObservableFunction().subscribe(v => myCallback(v));

I know You asked for a solution without the subscribe function, but this is the way to go.

Your code seems to be RxJS, not RxSwift.
