Arrow Resource (Kotlin)

Quick start

• Use resourceScope { ... } at lifecycle boundaries.
• Define each resource with resource { install(acquire) { a, exitCase -> release } }.
• Compose with .bind(); use parZip for independent parallel acquisition.
• Read references/resource.md for patterns and concrete examples.

Workflow

1. Identify the acquire step and the release step.
2. Implement a Resource<A> using install.
3. Create reusable constructors on ResourceScope when needed.
4. Compose resources into higher-level resources with .bind().
5. Execute in resourceScope and keep finalizers idempotent.

Usage guidance

• Prefer Resource over use/try/finally when you need suspend finalizers or MPP support.
• Use ExitCase to handle rollback/cleanup differences.
• When mixing with typed errors, pick nesting order deliberately to control ExitCase seen by finalizers.
