Arrow 1.1.0 is now available

Arrow 1.1.0 is now available

We are happy to announce Arrow 1.1.0, with fixed Maven artifacts, new Effect runtime, resource DSL, optics KSP plugin, and several community contributions.

Thanks for all the feedback and contributions!

The Effect Runtime

The 1.1.0 release includes the Continuation proposal from Simon Vergauwen with better ergonomics and runtime, which allow users to write idiomatic type-safe polymorphic programs in Kotlin.

Effect<R, A> models suspend () -> R | A and is able to fold into Either, Validated, Option, or your own custom types.

More technical details can be found here.

To migrate to this new runtime, simply refactor your existing code from either, option, or other high-level operators in Arrow 1.0.X, by replacing arrow.core.computations.either to arrow.core.continuations.either, similar for other operators.

This needs to be manually refactored due to several bugs in the ReplaceWith functionality of the Kotlin IDEA plugin.

We suggest using IDEA’s Replace in Files functionality with the above replacement, and Replace All for the whole project. Since the APIs are compatible, this will not result in any breakage of the project.

Effect Migration

Resource

One powerful addition to the Resource API is the builder DSL. See an example of Hikari and Exposed below.

fun hikari(config: HikariConfig): Resource<DataSource> =
  Resource.fromCloseable { HikariDataSource(config) }

fun database(ds: DataSource): Resource<Database> =
  Resource(
    acquire = { Database.connect(ds) },
    release = { db, _: ExitCase -> closeAndUnregister(db) }
  )

class DependencyGraph(val database: Database)

fun dependencies(config: HikariConfig): Resource<DependencyGraph> =
  resource {
    val ds = hikari(config).bind()
    val db = database(ds).bind()
    DependencyGraph(db)
  }

The resource DSL allows us to bind on Resource directly, giving us the ability to easily compose external resources in the context of another Resource. Resource guarantees the release of bound resources in success, failure, or cancellation scenarios.

More information on Resource is available here.

New Flow operators in Arrow Fx coroutines

The already available operators on Flow received great responses from the community, and we’ve added a few more in this release.

Resource#asFlow

This new operator is meant to easily consume a Resource in a streaming program using KotlinX Flow. For example, to write a Flow<ByteArrow> to a File:

suspend fun Flow<ByteArray>.writeAll(path: Path): Unit =
  Resource.fromCloseable { path.toFile().outputStream() }
    .asFlow()
    .flatMapConcat { outputStream ->
      this@writeAll.map { outputStream.write(it) }
    }.flowOn(Dispatchers.IO)
    .collect()

Schedule#repeatAsFlow

repeat returns the final output of when the Schedule finished, whereas the new repeatAsFlow emits all intermediate outputs along the way. For this particular example, schedule.repeat{ i++ } == schedule.repeatAsFlow { ii++ }.toList().last().

This is useful when you want to run a Schedule and introspect all intermediate outputs while the Schedule is running.

import io.kotest.matchers.shouldBe

val n = 10
val schedule: Schedule<Int, List<Int>> =
  Schedule.recurs<Int>(n) zipRight Schedule.collect()

var i = 0
schedule.repeat { i++ } shouldBe (0..n).toList()

var ii = 0
schedule.repeatAsFlow { ii++ }.toList() shouldBe (0..n).map { (0..it).toList() }

More information on Schedule is available here.

Maven artifact fix

Maven users were only able to consume Arrow 1.0.1 with a -jvm postfix. This has been fixed in all arrow-libraries. A template for Maven projects can be found here.

Arrow KSP optics plugin

If you’re new to KSP, it provides a simplified compiler plugin API for code generation, which, compared to kapt, natively supports Kotlin declarations and understands the Kotlin AST and Kotlin multi-platform module layouts.

This iteration utilizes the KSP API for the optics plugin. Check out the quickstart or head over to this branch of the Arrow Jvm template for a complete set up.

The minimum setup in build.gradle.kts:

plugins {
  id("com.google.devtools.ksp") version "1.6.20-1.0.4"
}

dependencies {
  ksp("io.arrow-kt:arrow-optics-ksp-plugin:1.1.0")
}

Deprecations

  • arrow.core.computations package as well as the arrow.continuations module are being deprecated and will be removed in the next major release in favor of Effect and EagerEffect in arrow.core.continuations
  • Deprecate some constructors in Resource in favor of the new resource DSL
  • Misleading operators for kotlin.Sequence have been deprecated https://github.com/arrow-kt/arrow/pull/2686
  • Iterable.combineAll in favor of Iterable.fold https://github.com/arrow-kt/arrow/pull/2687
  • Resource.tap removed the type parameter B. This is binary compatible, but breaks the Kotlin API - here opt to remove the Type parameter in a code base
  • arrow.core.computations.eval is being deprecated. Use Eval.value() instead of bind(). This will be turned into an ERROR in the next minor version.
  • arrow.core.computations.ResultEffect was introducing dangerous behavior and is being deprecated and will be turned into an ERROR in the next minor version. Use arrow.core.continuations.result instead.

1.1.x versions

If you look at Maven Central, you’ll see that, alongside version 1.1.0, version 1.1.2 is also available.

Use of the Arrow Optics KSP plugin is the difference between these versions. When working with Kotlin 1.6.21, you should be using Arrow 1.1.2, and when you’re working with Kotlin 1.6.20, then you should be using Arrow 1.1.0.

In the future, you can expect many more minor releases, since we can keep up with the Kotlin and KSP releases.

If you run into issues, check the KotlinLang #arrow channel.
