Hi everyone, I'm using

when

for conditional judgment:

when {
  a.isCaseA -> handleCaseA()
  a.isCaseB -> handleCaseB()
  a.isCaseC -> handleCaseC()
  else -> Unit
}

I'd like to refactor these lines with

when(a) {
  isCaseA -> handleCaseA()
  isCaseB -> handleCaseB()
  isCaseC -> handleCaseC()
  else -> Unit
}

However, it is not possible. I searched online and I know that there are a few ways to do this (assigning a val in

when()

, or wrapping this

when()

with

let

or

with

outside). I just want to use the most straightforward way. So is it possible to directly retrieve the param of

when

using

it

or

this

in the future? Does Kotlin team plan to add this syntactic sugar? Thanks. :thank-you-color:

@ephemient Thanks a lot!

If it's possible to make A, B and C the children of a sealed class/interface, then you could drop the else branch. just saying
