Hi there
Is there any legal way to convert

private suspend fun containsMatchIn(contentMessage: ContentMessage<*>): Boolean {
        val content = contentMessage.content
        return ((content is TextContent) && !hasCommand(content) && containsInText(content.text))
                || ((content is PhotoContent) && containsInImage(content))
    }

into

private suspend fun containsMatchIn(contentMessage: ContentMessage<*>): Boolean {
        return ((contentMessage.content is TextContent) && !hasCommand(contentMessage.content) && containsInText(val content = contentMessage.content.text))
                || ((contentMessage.content is PhotoContent) && containsInImage(contentMessage.content))
    }

to get rid of the extra variable val content = contentMessage.content ?
Thanks

I'd probably rewrite that into a when, for starters, since you're pattern-matching on class

[nanodeath]

and if you really want to get rid of that val, you can say contentMessage.content.let { content -> I guess

[Adam Powell]

Or combine the two into when (val content = contentMessage.content) {

looks much better
