Effortless Concurrency with Arrow-FX on Android
The Kotlinx Coroutines library enables developers to write responsive, scalable, safe, and efficient code for asynchronous APIs. However, it can sometimes be limited when dealing with numerous suspended computations.
Arrow-Fx expands on the capabilities of the Kotlinx coroutines library with additional functions. In this presentation, we'll explore a practical scenario involving an Android application communicating with a backend via a REST API. Utilizing Arrow-Fx operators, our goal is to simplify our code and enhance its efficiency. Additionally, we'll delve into the Schedule data type, enabling us to build resilient apps that gracefully handle failures through compositional retry mechanisms.
By the end of this talk, attendees will discover how the Arrow-Fx library can drastically simplify the development process, allowing them to create powerful and efficient Android applications with minimal effort.
Error Handling Beyond the Standard Library
When building applications it's easy to focus on the happy path and forget about error scenarios. However, in the real world failures happen, and dealing with them is as important as the happy pah.
Kotlin and the standard library offer some approaches for dealing with errors like nullable types and sealed classes. But for many robust applications that might not be enough! I will present the tools and techniques offered by the Arrow library that builds on top and complements what Kotlin offers and helps you achieve composable error handling logic with a minimal amount of boilerplate code.
After attending this talk, you will have yet another tool in your toolbelt that will help you build robust applications.
