flatMapInitial

inline fun <T : Any> Fetch<T>.flatMapInitial(transform: () -> Fetch<T>): Fetch<T>

Transform an initial fetch state to finished.

This is a convenience method for fold, that forces the output to be a Fetch.
Unlike mapFetchingToFinished, this function does not re-wrap as finished.
Because finished is not mapped, this function cannot update the type, T (i.e. the result of transform must be of the same type as the Fetch caller)!

The Fetch to transform.

The transformed Fetch of type T.

The type of the Fetch value.

transform

The lambda to transform the initial state into a finished.
