Manually disposing a DisposeBag in RxSwift

Question

I want to cancel a request and one of the ways is to manually remove the disposable bag.

.addDisposableTo(disposeBag)

As I have the disposeBag object, is there a good way to cancel the request other than that I mentioned above?

You have to just change reference to your disposeBag object. Make it nil or assign new object to disposeBag.

All request will be cancelled.

Another option, besides deallocating a DisposeBag, is to use CompositeDisposable, which has an explicit dispose method.

will this dispose the new subscription or its just like clear of RxJava? – Akhil Dad Oct 04 '17 at 04:31
CompositeDisposable is the ticket here. – SmileBot Aug 12 '21 at 22:19
Note that `CompositeDisposable` does not dispose on deinit. IT IS NOT A REPLACEMENT FOR A `DisposeBag`. You should still add your `CompositeDisposable` to another `DisposeBag` or make sure you manually dispose of it on your deinit method. – gabriellanata Jan 06 '23 at 18:55

You just need to reinitialise the dispose bag reference:

disposeBag = .init()
