Zip mono/flux with another that depends on the one I own-CodePudding

I want to zip two monos/fluxes, but the second one (the one I'll zip) is dependand from the first that I already own.
For example:

//...

    fun addGroup(
        input: GroupInput
    ): Mono<Group> = Mono.just(Group(title = input.title, description = input.description))
        .flatMap { g -> groupsRepository.save(g) } // Gives me back the new db ID
        .zipWith(Mono.just(GroupMember(g.id /* <-- ??*/, input.ownerId, true)))
        //...

// ...

Is it possible?

CodePudding user response：

I would say no. You can only zip things that can run in parallel.

CodePudding user response：

you could use map or flatmap in this case, is there any reason you need to use Zip?
