If I have access to a

CoroutineContext

via

coroutineContext

, what is the best way for me to create child coroutines? I’m assuming I need to create a

CoroutineScope

, but there aren’t any utility methods I’ve found for this, making me think that there might be a better way?

To use structured concurrency, use

coroutineScope {}

. Otherwise, you can use

CoroutineScope(coroutineContext)

I looked at the source for

coroutineScope {}

. It doesn’t look like it uses the current scope. If I call

coroutineScope {}

inside a coroutine, will it create child coroutines?

Yep it takes your current context and creates child scope. coroutineScope {} suspends until all children completes

Yes it does, that’s pretty much its main use case.
