# StreamController<T> class

A controller with the stream it controls.

This controller allows sending data, error and done events on its stream. This class can be used to create a simple stream that others can listen on, and to push events to that stream.

It's possible to check whether the stream is paused or not, and whether it has subscribers or not, as well as getting a callback when either of these change.

  - StreamSink<T>

## Constructors

StreamController({void onListen(), void onPause(), void onResume(), dynamic onCancel(), bool sync: false })
  A controller with a stream that supports only one single subscriber. [...]
  factory
StreamController.broadcast({void onListen(), void onCancel(), bool sync: false })
  A controller where stream can be listened to more than once. [...]
  factory

  read-only
isPaused → bool
  Whether the subscription would need to buffer events. [...]
  read-only
onCancel ↔ ControllerCancelCallback
  The callback which is called when the stream is canceled. [...]
  read / write
onListen ↔ ControllerCallback
  The callback which is called when the stream is listened to. [...]
  read / write
onPause ↔ ControllerCallback
  The callback which is called when the stream is paused. [...]
  read / write
onResume ↔ ControllerCallback
  The callback which is called when the stream is resumed. [...]
