Created this question and answer to help others with quick lookup of how to create a Reactor Tuple, such as reactor.util.function.Tuple2<T1,T2>
I couldn't find any example constructor on the Javadoc for Tuple2 so had to do some more digging.
Use reactor.util.function.Tuples.of(T1 t1, T2 t2)
Note that it uses the Tuples class.
Method signature:
static <T1,T2> Tuple2<T1,T2> of(T1 t1, T2 t2)
More methods and constructors available in the Javadoc
