# coroutines

can you guys advise what’s an idiomatic way of handling a suspending initialization?
Let’s say my class exposes a search function and this function depends on a series of initialization steps that the instance has to perform before being able to actually search and return results.
How would you handle this using coroutines? Would you have an initialize function that returns a Job or would you simply mark search as suspend and “hide” the suspension as an implementation detail waiting internally for the initialization job to complete? Or would you tackle this issue in a completely different way?

I’d probably have the initialization steps return Deferred and then if search is called, make sure your search function await on those steps

Or you could wrap the work in an actor and pass the actor the return Channel to send the results too.

Would probably use one property to hold a Job instance and join it
