Isn't the question about check in #C0B8MA7FA channel of any interest for you?

[v79]

I'd still have to catch the Exception from check() though?

[ValV]

check() throws IllegalStateException exception

[ValV]

You could catch both IllegalArgumentException and IllegalStateException (with PostGenError) in the same try ... catch block with check(!(metaData.required && it.value.isEmpty))

[v79]

I was hoping to avoid exceptions completely... Something like if(it.key in PostMetaData.values()) { val metaData = PostMetaData.valueOf(it.key) // happy meta data path ...} else { // some other code}

[ValV]

if (PostMetaData.values().none { it.name == key }) println("No match") else println ("Match found") ?

In the end I wrote a function on the enum - thanks for the suggestions though.
