hi guys. sorry for this very simple question. I've just started using Retrofit and I discovered Arrow last week, so I wanted to ask you a little tip. I have a retrofit api called getUser. Would it make sense to use Either in this way?

class CustomError {

data class RetrofitError(val error: Throwable) : CustomError()

// Add other custom errors if needed

}

suspend fun getUser(): Either<CustomError, User> {

return try {

val response: Response<User> = retrofitApi.getUser()

if (response.isSuccessful) {

response.body()?.right() ?: CustomError.RetrofitError(Throwable("No user found")).left()

} else {

CustomError.RetrofitError(Throwable("Response not successful")).left()

}

} catch (e: Exception) {

CustomError.RetrofitError(e).left()

}

}

Did you see: io.arrow-kt:arrow-core-retrofit

oh no, I didnt know that

I think it's here https://github.com/arrow-kt/arrow-integrations, there's also https://github.com/skydoves/retrofit-adapters

thank you, very kind of you. 🙂

I forgot to mention this one (the one I'm currently using): https://github.com/arrow-kt/arrow/tree/main/arrow-libs/core/arrow-core-retrofit

thanks again. I m watching some youtube presentation. Afters decades of imperative programming, it is not easy to switch, but I really like it
