bracket

common inline suspend fun <A, B> bracket(crossinline acquire: suspend () -> A, use: suspend (A) -> B, crossinline release: suspend (A) -> Unit): B

Describes a task with safe resource acquisition and release in the face of errors and interruption. It would be the equivalent of an async capable try/catch/finally statements in mainstream imperative languages for resource acquisition and release.

Parameters

common


acquire	is the action to acquire the resource.
use	is the action to consume the resource and produce a result. Once the resulting suspend program terminates, either successfully, error or disposed, the release function will run to clean up the resources.
release	is the action that’s supposed to release the allocated resource after `use` is done, irregardless of its exit condition. kotlin import arrow.fx.coroutines.*<br>class File(url: String) { fun open(): File = this fun close(): Unit {} override fun toString(): String = "This file contains some interesting content!" }<br>suspend fun openFile(uri: String): File = File(uri).open() suspend fun closeFile(file: File): Unit = file.close() suspend fun fileToString(file: File): String = file.toString()<br>suspend fun main(): Unit { //sampleStart val res = bracket( acquire = { openFile("data.json") }, use = { file -> fileToString(file) }, release = { file: File -> closeFile(file) } ) //sampleEnd println(res) }
