Arrow Typed Errors (Kotlin)

Quick start

• Classify the failure first: logical failure (typed error) vs exceptional failure (exception).
• Pick the surface type:

- Raise<E> + builder (either {}/option {}/nullable {}) for composable logic. - Wrapper type (Either/Option/Ior/Result/nullable) for API boundaries.

• Read references/typed-errors.md for API details and patterns before coding if unsure.

Workflow

1. Model errors as sealed types.
2. Implement happy-path logic with Raise DSL (prefer either {} or nullable {} depending on output).
3. Guard invariants with ensure / ensureNotNull.
4. Interop with external code:

- Use catch/Either.catchOrThrow to convert expected exceptions into typed errors.

1. Compose with .bind() and transform errors with withError or recover.
2. For validation across fields or lists, use accumulation (zipOrAccumulate, mapOrAccumulate, or accumulate).
3. Expose wrapper types at module boundaries; keep Raise internally when possible.

Patterns to apply

• Smart constructors (parse, don't validate): make constructors private; expose invoke returning Either.
• Validation accumulation: use EitherNel and zipOrAccumulate/mapOrAccumulate.
• Wrapper choice:

- Prefer nullable for optional values unless nested nullability issues exist; then use Option. - Use Either for disjoint success/failure; Ior only when success + warning is meaningful. - Use Result only when errors are Throwable and interop with stdlib APIs is required.

• Error translation across layers: use withError to map inner errors to outer domain errors.
• Drop error types explicitly: wrap bind with ignoreErrors when moving from informative error types to Option/nullable flows.
• Avoid sealed-on-sealed inheritance: model error hierarchies with composition (wrapper data classes), not sealed inheritance chains.
