is there a function like

Either<Throwable, T>.getOrThrow(): T

? i've been using

when()

to change behavior on

Left

or

Right

but it's kinda verbose.

throwing is discouraged, so when/fold is the way to go if you want to do it 😄

gotcha. i don't want to, but that's the controller api 😉

in those cases you can do

theEitherValue.getOrElse { throw it }

, which I find quite readable and not so verbose

@Alejandro Serrano.Mena any preference between

either.getOrElse { throw it }

and

either.recover { throw it }

? To my knowledge, these behave the same?

I tend to use the first one, mostly out of taste (and it also feels a bit weird to say that "throwing" is recovering from an exception 😅) also lately I'm trying to use

Raise<Error>.f(): A

more often than

Either<Error, A>

, and in that case I just use

fold

to make a final throw
