task

inline suspend fun <T> task(
    message: () -> String, 
    values: SentierValues = SentierValues.Empty, 
    crossinline block: suspend CoroutineScope.() -> T
): T

Tracks the progress of block in a child Span.

This method implies the creation of a child coroutine scope, exactly like kotlinx.coroutines.coroutineScope. Therefore, one can use launch and other coroutine functions directly within a task.

Example

suspend fun createUser() {
    task({ "Create user" }) {
        // …create the user…
    }
}
