ValidationK

Chainable validation, inspired by the Validated monad, but a bit less complex, and a bit less smart.

I must admit that I wrote this when I was very tired and it's for a friend, but I don't even know if this is what he needs.

I added the K at the end because, well, most Kotlin libraries do that. The name Validation is just boring without it.

What's it like?

    Validation.buildChain<String>()
            .validate { check("failure") { some boolean expression} }
            .validate {
                when {
                    x -> success()
                    else -> failure("blah blah")
                }
            }
            .evaluate(
                onInvalid = { failure: String ->
                    // something failed
                },
                onValid = {
                    // everything passed
                }
            )

The chain is evaluated only when evaluate is called.

Using ValidationK

No release yet, but the whole project is one file, so if you need it, you can add it into your project, or at least try it, figure out if it even makes sense, etc.
