Hey all, when using either<L,R> { } I understand that you can bind getting some value to the context of that either, so I can do something like

val foo = !service.getThingViaEither()

What is the correct way to handle this in conjunction with validation where the return type doesn’t necessarily matter?

Currently I’m doing something like

!Either.conditionally(foo.isValid(), { Error("bar") }, { true }))

I could also do something like

val isValid = !checkFooValid(foo)

but that also seems unnecessary as the isValid val will never be used

Instead of
val isValid = !checkFooValid(foo)
you could just write
!checkFooValid(foo)
No need to declare a variable you're not using.

After 0.13 the only option is

checkFooValid(foo).bind()

invoke, not, componentX are gone.
