Hi, I'm learning Arrow for Android Development and I got stuck on how to integrate arrow with ktor? How exactly can I run my suspend functions?

Do I just:

suspend fun someApi(): IO<SomeObject> {
    return IO.effect {         
        ktorClient.get("<http://someendpoint.com>") 
    }
}

May I ask for some guidance?

You have io.suspended()

[raulraja]

which turns IO<A> into suspend () -> A

[raulraja]

in your case if `

ktorClient.get("<http://someendpoint.com>")

requires suspension you can use IO.effect

[raulraja]

to compose it with other IO actions but in that particular function you can just use:

suspend fun someApi(): SomeObject =
  ktorClient.get("<http://someendpoint.com>")
