Defined in header <ranges>
template< ranges::input_range V >   requires ranges::view<V> && ranges::input_range<ranges::range_reference_t<V>> &&            (std::is_reference_v<ranges::range_reference_t<V>> ||             ranges::view<ranges::range_value_t<V>>) class join_view : public ranges::view_interface<join_view<V>>	(1)	(since C++20)
namespace views {     inline constexpr /* unspecified */ join = /* unspecified */; }	(2)	(since C++20)

1) A range adaptor that represents view consisting of the sequence obtained from flattening a view of ranges.

2) Range adaptor object. The expression views::join(E) is expression-equivalent to join_view{E} for any suitable subexpressions E.

join_view models the concepts bidirectional_range, forward_range, input_range, and common_range when the underlying view V models respective concepts.

Expression-equivalent

Expression e is expression-equivalent to expression f, if

• e and f have the same effects, and
• either both are constant subexpressions or else neither is a constant subexpression, and
• either both are potentially-throwing or else neither is potentially-throwing (i.e. noexcept(e) == noexcept(f)).

Member functions

(constructor)	constructs a join_view (public member function)
base	returns a copy of the underlying (adapted) view (public member function)
begin	returns an iterator to the beginning (public member function)
end	returns an iterator or a sentinel to the end (public member function)

Nested classes

iterator	the iterator type (public member class)
sentinel	the sentinel type (public member class)

Notes

The inner range type (ranges::range_reference_t<V>) cannot be a container rvalue. For example, it's not allowed to join a transform_view of std::string rvalue.

struct Person { std::string first_name, second_name; };
auto f(std::vector<Person>& v) {
 // return v | std::views::transform([](auto& p) { return p.first_name; })
 //          | std::views::join; // error
    return v | std::views::transform([](auto& p) -> std::string& { return p.first_name; })
             | std::views::join; // OK
}

Example

Run this code

#include <iostream>
#include <ranges>
#include <string_view>
#include <vector>
 
int main()
{
    using namespace std::literals;
    const auto bits = { "https:"sv, "//"sv, "cppreference"sv, "."sv, "com"sv };
    for (char const c : bits | std::views::join) std::cout << c;
    std::cout << '\n';
 
    const std::vector<std::vector<int>> v{ {1,2}, {3,4,5}, {6}, {7,8,9} };
    auto jv = std::ranges::join_view(v);
    for (int const e : jv) std::cout << e << ' ';
    std::cout << '\n';
}

Output:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
