Hey I was wondering if there was a better way of breaking out of an if clause instead of doing this.

if(true) run {
  val example = null
  if(example == null) {
    return@run
  }
}

if(true) run {
  return@run
}

What about elvis operator? val example = null ?: return@run

BTW the same code could be improved - it is hard to answer you question. Perhaps put real code and place some comments to better demonstrate problem

Hey, sorry for the late response.
The main issue I'm having is setting up guard clauses for my if conditions, my workaround was to wrap the if clause in a run {} so I can just return out of the run

fun example(): List<String> {
            val conf = /* load configuration */
            
            if(conf.isSet("team_spawnpoint")) {
                val section = conf.getSection("team_spawnpoint.spawns")
                    ?: return@run
            }
            
            if(conf.isSet("all_spawnpoint")) {
                val section = conf.getSection("all_spawnpoint.spawns")
                    ?: return@run
            }
            
            return /*list of all valid spawn points*/
        }

Something like this where my function can possibly load spawn points for a specific team and can also load spawn points for people unassigned to a team, if the section in the configuration doesn't exist I'd like to just break out of the if clause.
