This PR adds the
AutoConnect
operator as an extension method onIConnectableObservable
. The operator connects the source once the specified number of observers have subscribed to it.This operator enables caching of items via
Replay()
without the need to callConnect()
manually and avoid reconnection which would happen withRefCount()
:Subscribers disposed won't dispose the connection. In case the connection itself should be disposed, it is made available via the
onConnect
callback:After this, the
cache
cannot be resurrected and a new chain has to be created again off ofsource
.
