How do i create a class implementing a suspend block?

class LambdaClass : suspend () -> Unit {

    override fun invoke() {
        // do something
    }

}

I don't think you can make a suspending function a supertype at the moment

[Sam]

yeah looks like it

[zpearce]

...would be handy

What is your use case? You cannot have suspend constructor.

[gildor]

Just use builder suspend function instead

[Sam]

Its not about suspend constructor, just a class to represent a suspend lambda block

[Sam]

with a regular lambda block, i can keep all logic including helper methods within the class and just create an instance of it at use site

[Sam]

I was wondering if that was possible with a suspend lambda

[gildor]

Yeah, I see what you mean

[bolot]

do you want something like class MyLambda() { suspend operator fun invoke() {} }?

[gildor]

This is not direct relplacement, you cannot use such class as lambda

[Sam]

yeah, that doesn't do it
