# isEmpty property

Future<bool> isEmpty

Whether this stream contains any elements.

Waits for the first element of this stream, then completes the returned future with `true`. If this stream ends without emitting any elements, the returned future is completed with `false`.

If the first event is an error, the returned future is completed with that error.

This operation listens to this stream, and a non-broadcast stream cannot be reused after checking whether it is empty.

## Implementation

    Future<bool> get isEmpty {
      _Future<bool> future = new _Future<bool>();
      StreamSubscription subscription;
      subscription = this.listen(
          (_) {
            _cancelAndValue(subscription, future, false);
          },
          onError: future._completeError,
          onDone: () {
            future._complete(true);
          },
          cancelOnError: true);
      return future;
    }
