create

@ExperimentalKotoolsTypesApi
@ExperimentalSince(version = KotoolsTypesVersion.V4_5_0)
fun create(value: Any): NotBlankString

Creates a NotBlankString from the string representation of the specified value, or throws an IllegalArgumentException if its string representation is blank.


Calling from Kotlin

Here's an example of calling this function from Kotlin code:

val isSuccess: Boolean = try {
    NotBlankString.create("Kotools Types")
    true
} catch (exception: IllegalArgumentException) {
    false
}
assertTrue(isSuccess)

The NotBlankString type being an inline value class, this function is not available yet for Java users.

You can use the NotBlankString.Companion.createOrNull function for returning null instead of throwing an exception in case of invalid value.
