Copy code

fun fetchById(id: String?) = Either.catch(::onApiError) {
    id ?: return Either.Left(InOrderError.ApiError)
    ...
}

is there an nicer way to guard the nullability of Id in this case? I found

left()

but it doesn’t let me pass a type of error

Inside

either { }

you can use

ensureNotNull

There is also

leftIfNull { }

Either.catch(::onApiError).leftIfNull { InOrderError.ApiError }
