Is there a way to use a select expression with something that's not a channel?

Is there a way to use a select expression with something that's not a channel?

[Dominaezzz]

Yes! You can select on anything (using the right abstraction)!

[Dominaezzz]

What about ByteReadChannel do you want to select?

[Kroppeb]

Well it's a custom type I'm reading

[Kroppeb]

But it gives an error,

[Kroppeb]

Suspend functions can only be called within a coroutine body

[Kroppeb]

Looking at onReceive() It seems I need a SelectClauseX?

[Dominaezzz]

You'll basically have to wrap the call in async and select using the onAwait.

[Dominaezzz]

You could also implement your own select clause but iirc it's experimental and there little docs about writing them.
