Λrrow is a library for Typed Functional Programming in Kotlin.
Arrow aims to provide a lingua franca of interfaces and abstractions across Kotlin libraries.
For this, it includes the most popular data types such as Option
, Either
, Validated
etc and functional operators such as traverse
and computation blocks to empower users to write pure FP apps and libraries built atop higher order abstractions.
Use the list below to learn more about Λrrow's main features.
- Documentation
- Type classes: defining behaviors for data
- Effects: interfacing with external systems
- Optics: inspecting and modifying data structures
If you have a blog post, talk, or upcoming event on Arrow, please considering opening an issue or PR to add to the collection over at the Arrow Media repo.
Arrow is an inclusive community powered by awesome individuals like you. As an actively growing ecosystem, Arrow and its associated libraries and toolsets are in need of new contributors! We have issues suited for all levels, from entry to advanced, and our maintainers are happy to provide 1:1 mentoring. All are welcome in Arrow.

Make sure to have the latest version of JDK 1.8 (or higher) installed.
JDK 16 doesn't currently work but will do once we upgrade to Gradle 7.0
Arrow supports Android starting on API 21 and up.
In your project's root build.gradle
, append this repository to your list:
allprojects {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
}
Add the dependencies into the project's build.gradle
:
def arrow_version = "1.0.0"
dependencies {
implementation "io.arrow-kt:arrow-core:$arrow_version"
}
apply plugin: 'kotlin-kapt'
def arrow_version = "1.0.0"
dependencies {
implementation "io.arrow-kt:arrow-optics:$arrow_version"
kapt "io.arrow-kt:arrow-meta:$arrow_version"
}
def arrow_version = "1.0.0"
dependencies {
implementation "io.arrow-kt:arrow-fx-coroutines:$arrow_version"
}
To avoid specifying the Arrow version for every dependency, a BOM file is available:
implementation platform("io.arrow-kt:arrow-stack:$arrow_version")
implementation "io.arrow-kt:arrow-core"
implementation "io.arrow-kt:arrow-fx-coroutines"
...
Make sure to have at least the latest version of JDK 1.8 installed.
Add to your pom.xml
file the following properties:
<properties>
<kotlin.version>1.4.0</kotlin.version>
<arrow.version>1.0.0</arrow.version>
</properties>
Add the dependencies that you want to use:
<dependency>
<groupId>io.arrow-kt</groupId>
<artifactId>arrow-core</artifactId>
<version>${arrow.version}</version>
</dependency>
For the Optics DSL, enable annotation processing using Kotlin plugin:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.jetbrains.kotlin</groupId>
<artifactId>kotlin-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${kotlin.version}</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>kapt</id>
<goals>
<goal>kapt</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<sourceDirs>
<sourceDir>src/main/kotlin</sourceDir>
</sourceDirs>
<annotationProcessorPaths>
<annotationProcessorPath>
<groupId>io.arrow-kt</groupId>
<artifactId>arrow-meta</artifactId>
<version>${arrow.version}</version>
</annotationProcessorPath>
</annotationProcessorPaths>
</configuration>
</execution>
<execution>
<id>compile</id>
<phase>compile</phase>
<goals>
<goal>compile</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<sourceDirs>
<sourceDir>src/main/kotlin</sourceDir>
</sourceDirs>
</configuration>
</execution>
<execution>
<id>test-compile</id>
<phase>test-compile</phase>
<goals>
<goal>test-compile</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
To avoid specifying the Arrow version for every dependency, a BOM file is available:
<dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>io.arrow-kt</groupId>
<artifactId>arrow-stack</artifactId>
<version>${arrow.version}</version>
<type>pom</type>
<scope>import</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
...
</dependencies>
If you want to try the latest features, replace 1.0.0
with 1.0.1-SNAPSHOT
and add this repository:
allprojects {
repositories {
...
maven { url "https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/" }
}
}
