Linq methods for IAsyncEnumerable

Question

When working with an IEnumerable<T> there are the build-in extension methods from the System.Linq namespace such as Skip, Where and Select to work with.

When Microsoft added IAsyncEnumerable in C#8 did they also add new Linq methods to support this?

I could of course implement these methods myself, or maybe find some package which does that, but I'd prefer to use a language-standard method if it exists.

Answer 1

LINQ for IAsyncEnumerable is supported by System.Linq.Async which is part of the reactive extensions for .NET. The reactive extensions as a whole are split into two larger NuGet packages: System.Reactive and System.Interactive.

While all the packages stayed the same, the extensions now live in the System.Linq namespace, not System.Linq.Async anymore (thanks Dzmitry Lahoda).
