Arrow Generators

Kotest provides an optional module that provides generators for Arrow.

note

To use, add io.kotest.extensions:kotest-property-arrow:versionand io.arrow-kt:arrow-core:arrow-version to your build. This holds true for the optics module kotest-property-arrow-optics, by adding io.arrow-kt:arrow-optics:arrow-version, too.
