lens

open fun <B> lens(get: (A) -> B, set: (A, B) -> A): Atomic<B>

Creates an AtomicRef for B based on provided a get and set operation.

This is useful when you have an AtomicRef of a data class and need to work with with certain properties individually, or want to hide parts of your domain from a dependency.
