createOrNull

@ExperimentalSince(version = KotoolsTypesVersion.V4_5_0)

fun <E> createOrNull(collection: Collection<E>): NotEmptySet<E>?

Creates a NotEmptySet containing all the elements of the specified collection, or returns null if the collection is empty.

Calling from Kotlin

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

val collection: Collection<Int> = setOf(1, 2, 3)
val elements: NotEmptySet<Int>? = NotEmptySet.createOrNull(collection)
assertEquals(expected = "[1, 2, 3]", actual = "$elements")

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

Please note that changes made to the original collection will not be reflected on the resulting NotEmptySet.

val original: MutableCollection<Int> = mutableSetOf(1, 2, 3)
val integers: NotEmptySet<Int>? = NotEmptySet.createOrNull(original)
assertEquals(expected = "$original", actual = "$integers")
original.clear()
assertNotEquals(illegal = "$original", actual = "$integers")
