captureInstance
inline fun <reified T : Any> captureInstance(noinline instance: () -> T?): InstanceProvider (source)
Utility function to capture an instance of an object.
e.g.
class SomeType : BaseType
val provider = captureInstance { someObject.someType } // triggers for SomeType or BaseType
If you want to reduce the type range then specify its base type manually:
val provider = captureInstance<BaseType> { someObject.someType } // triggers only for BaseType
Be wary of using a typealias as a type - the resultant function “type” itself is used at compile time.
e.g.
typealias MyStringAlias = () -> String?
val provider1 = captureInstance<MyStringAlias> { ... }
typealias MyOtherAlias = () -> Type?
// will be triggered for MyStringAlias and MyOtherAlias since behind the scenes they are both kotlin.Function0<T>
val provider2 = captureInstance<MyOtherAlias> { ... }
