Quiver is a library that builds upon Arrow to make functional programming in Kotlin even more accessible & delightful.

Main features include:

• Outcome type for modelling the presence, absence or error state of a value.
• Extension methods on Option, List, Validated and Either for improved error handling, combinators and interoperability with other Arrow and Kotlin types.
• Extension methods on suspended functions to allow for seemless retries of operations.

There are two published builds.

• lib contains types and functions to provide additional functional programming idioms over and above what is available from Arrow.
• lib-test contains kotest Matchers and Arbs for writing tests that use types found in lib.

On the Sontaype page for Quiver, choose the latest version of lib (and lib-test if desired) and follow the instructions for inclusion in your build tool.
