Error Accumulation

Sequential combinators such as Effect.zip, Effect.all and Effect.forEach have a “fail fast” policy when it comes to error management. This means that they stop and return immediately when they encounter the first error.

Here’s an example using Effect.zip, which stops at the first failure and only shows the first error:

Example (Fail Fast with Effect.zip)

Effect

pipe
(
import Effect
Effect
.
const as: <number>(value: number) => <A, E, R>(self: Effect.Effect<A, E, R>) => Effect.Effect<number, E, R> (+1 overload)

This function maps the success value of an `Effect` value to a specified constant value.

const
const task2: Effect.Effect<number, string, never>
task2
=
import Effect
Effect
.
const fail: <string>(error: string) => Effect.Effect<never, string, never>

Creates an `Effect` that represents a recoverable error. This `Effect` does not succeed but instead fails with the provided error. The failure can be of any type, and will propagate through the effect pipeline unless handled. Use this function when you want to explicitly signal an error in an `Effect` computation. The failed effect can later be handled with functions like {@link catchAll } or {@link catchTag } .

fail
("Oh uh!").
(method) Pipeable.pipe<Effect.Effect<never, string, never>, Effect.Effect<number, string, never>>(this: Effect.Effect<...>, ab: (_: Effect.Effect<never, string, never>) => Effect.Effect<number, string, never>): Effect.Effect<...> (+21 overloads)

The `Effect.zip` function allows you to combine two effects into a single effect. This combined effect yields a tuple containing the results of both input effects once they succeed. Note that `Effect.zip` processes effects sequentially: it first completes the effect on the left and then the effect on the right. If you want to run the effects concurrently, you can use the `concurrent` option.

Executes an effect and returns a `Promise` that resolves with the result. Use `runPromise` when working with asynchronous effects and you need to integrate with code that uses Promises. If the effect fails, the returned Promise will be rejected with the error.

Attaches callbacks for the resolution and/or rejection of the Promise.

namespace console var console: Console

The `console` module provides a simple debugging console that is similar to the JavaScript console mechanism provided by web browsers. The module exports two specific components: * A `Console` class with methods such as `console.log()`, `console.error()` and `console.warn()` that can be used to write to any Node.js stream. * A global `console` instance configured to write to [`process.stdout`](https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v22.x/api/process.html#processstdout) and [`process.stderr`](https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v22.x/api/process.html#processstderr). The global `console` can be used without importing the `node:console` module. _**Warning**_: The global console object's methods are neither consistently synchronous like the browser APIs they resemble, nor are they consistently asynchronous like all other Node.js streams. See the [`note on process I/O`](https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v22.x/api/process.html#a-note-on-process-io) for more information. Example using the global `console`: ```js console.log('hello world'); // Prints: hello world, to stdout console.log('hello %s', 'world'); // Prints: hello world, to stdout console.error(new Error('Whoops, something bad happened')); // Prints error message and stack trace to stderr: // Error: Whoops, something bad happened // at [eval]:5:15 // at Script.runInThisContext (node:vm:132:18) // at Object.runInThisContext (node:vm:309:38) // at node:internal/process/execution:77:19 // at [eval]-wrapper:6:22 // at evalScript (node:internal/process/execution:76:60) // at node:internal/main/eval_string:23:3 const name = 'Will Robinson'; console.warn(`Danger ${name}!

namespace console var console: Console

The `console` module provides a simple debugging console that is similar to the JavaScript console mechanism provided by web browsers. The module exports two specific components: * A `Console` class with methods such as `console.log()`, `console.error()` and `console.warn()` that can be used to write to any Node.js stream. * A global `console` instance configured to write to [`process.stdout`](https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v22.x/api/process.html#processstdout) and [`process.stderr`](https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v22.x/api/process.html#processstderr). The global `console` can be used without importing the `node:console` module. _**Warning**_: The global console object's methods are neither consistently synchronous like the browser APIs they resemble, nor are they consistently asynchronous like all other Node.js streams. See the [`note on process I/O`](https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v22.x/api/process.html#a-note-on-process-io) for more information. Example using the global `console`: ```js console.log('hello world'); // Prints: hello world, to stdout console.log('hello %s', 'world'); // Prints: hello world, to stdout console.error(new Error('Whoops, something bad happened')); // Prints error message and stack trace to stderr: // Error: Whoops, something bad happened // at [eval]:5:15 // at Script.runInThisContext (node:vm:132:18) // at Object.runInThisContext (node:vm:309:38) // at node:internal/process/execution:77:19 // at [eval]-wrapper:6:22 // at evalScript (node:internal/process/execution:76:60) // at node:internal/main/eval_string:23:3 const name = 'Will Robinson'; console.warn(`Danger ${name}!

Notice that Effect.validateFirst returns a single number as the success type, rather than an array of results like Effect.validateAll.

The Effect.partition function processes an iterable and applies an effectful function to each element. It returns a tuple, where the first part contains all the failures, and the second part contains all the successes.

Danger!, to stderr ``` Example using the `Console` class: ```js const out = getStreamSomehow(); const err = getStreamSomehow(); const myConsole = new console.Console(out, err); myConsole.log('hello world'); // Prints: hello world, to out myConsole.log('hello %s', 'world'); // Prints: hello world, to out myConsole.error(new Error('Whoops, something bad happened')); // Prints: [Error: Whoops, something bad happened], to err const name = 'Will Robinson'; myConsole.warn(`Danger ${name}! Danger!`); // Prints: Danger Will Robinson! Danger!, to err ```

console

(method) Console.log(message?: any, ...optionalParams: any[]): void

Prints to `stdout` with newline. Multiple arguments can be passed, with the first used as the primary message and all additional used as substitution values similar to [`printf(3)`](http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/printf.3.html) (the arguments are all passed to [`util.format()`](https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v22.x/api/util.html#utilformatformat-args)). ```js const count = 5; console.log('count: %d', count); // Prints: count: 5, to stdout console.log('count:', count); // Prints: count: 5, to stdout ``` See [`util.format()`](https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v22.x/api/util.html#utilformatformat-args) for more information.

namespace console var console: Console

The `console` module provides a simple debugging console that is similar to the JavaScript console mechanism provided by web browsers. The module exports two specific components: * A `Console` class with methods such as `console.log()`, `console.error()` and `console.warn()` that can be used to write to any Node.js stream. * A global `console` instance configured to write to [`process.stdout`](https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v22.x/api/process.html#processstdout) and [`process.stderr`](https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v22.x/api/process.html#processstderr). The global `console` can be used without importing the `node:console` module. _**Warning**_: The global console object's methods are neither consistently synchronous like the browser APIs they resemble, nor are they consistently asynchronous like all other Node.js streams. See the [`note on process I/O`](https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v22.x/api/process.html#a-note-on-process-io) for more information. Example using the global `console`: ```js console.log('hello world'); // Prints: hello world, to stdout console.log('hello %s', 'world'); // Prints: hello world, to stdout console.error(new Error('Whoops, something bad happened')); // Prints error message and stack trace to stderr: // Error: Whoops, something bad happened // at [eval]:5:15 // at Script.runInThisContext (node:vm:132:18) // at Object.runInThisContext (node:vm:309:38) // at node:internal/process/execution:77:19 // at [eval]-wrapper:6:22 // at evalScript (node:internal/process/execution:76:60) // at node:internal/main/eval_string:23:3 const name = 'Will Robinson'; console.warn(`Danger ${name}! Danger!`); // Prints: Danger Will Robinson! Danger!, to stderr ``` Example using the `Console` class: ```js const out = getStreamSomehow(); const err = getStreamSomehow(); const myConsole = new console.Console(out, err); myConsole.log('hello world'); // Prints: hello world, to out myConsole.log('hello %s', 'world'); // Prints: hello world, to out myConsole.error(new Error('Whoops, something bad happened')); // Prints: [Error: Whoops, something bad happened], to err const name = 'Will Robinson'; myConsole.warn(`Danger ${name}!

(method) Console.error(message?: any, ...optionalParams: any[]): void

Prints to `stderr` with newline. Multiple arguments can be passed, with the first used as the primary message and all additional used as substitution values similar to [`printf(3)`](http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/printf.3.html) (the arguments are all passed to [`util.format()`](https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v22.x/api/util.html#utilformatformat-args)). ```js const code = 5; console.error('error #%d', code); // Prints: error #5, to stderr console.error('error', code); // Prints: error 5, to stderr ``` If formatting elements (e.g. `%d`) are not found in the first string then [`util.inspect()`](https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v22.x/api/util.html#utilinspectobject-options) is called on each argument and the resulting string values are concatenated. See [`util.format()`](https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v22.x/api/util.html#utilformatformat-args) for more information.

This operator is an unexceptional effect, meaning the error channel type is never. Failures are collected without stopping the effect, so the entire operation completes and returns both errors and successes.
