Basic Concurrency

Effect provides options to manage how effects are executed, particularly focusing on controlling how many effects run concurrently.

type Options = {
readonly concurrency?: Concurrency
}

The concurrency option is used to determine the level of concurrency, with the following values:

type Concurrency = number | "unbounded" | "inherit"

Let’s explore each configuration in detail.

By default, if you don’t specify any concurrency option, effects will run sequentially, one after the other. This means each effect starts only after the previous one completes.

const promise: <void>(evaluate: (signal: AbortSignal) => PromiseLike<void>) => Effect.Effect<void, never, never>

Creates an Effect that represents an asynchronous computation guaranteed to succeed.

When to Use

Use promise when you are sure the operation will not reject.

Details

The provided function (thunk) returns a Promise that should never reject; if it does, the error will be treated as a "defect".

This defect is not a standard error but indicates a flaw in the logic that was expected to be error-free. You can think of it similar to an unexpected crash in the program, which can be further managed or logged using tools like

catchAllDefect

.

Interruptions

An optional AbortSignal can be provided to allow for interruption of the wrapped Promise API.

@seetryPromise for a version that can handle failures.

@example

// Title: Delayed Message
import { Effect } from "effect"
const delay = (message: string) =>
Effect.promise<string>(
() =>
new Promise((resolve) => {
setTimeout(() => {
resolve(message)
}, 2000)
})
)
// ┌─── Effect<string, never, never>

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 and process.stderr. 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 for more information.

Example using the global console:

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 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:

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');

function setTimeout<[]>(callback: () => void, ms?: number): NodeJS.Timeout (+1 overload)

Schedules execution of a one-time callback after delay milliseconds.

The callback will likely not be invoked in precisely delay milliseconds. Node.js makes no guarantees about the exact timing of when callbacks will fire, nor of their ordering. The callback will be called as close as possible to the time specified.

When delay is larger than 2147483647 or less than 1, the delay will be set to 1. Non-integer delays are truncated to an integer.

If callback is not a function, a TypeError will be thrown.

This method has a custom variant for promises that is available using timersPromises.setTimeout().

readonly mode?: "default" | "validate" | "either" | undefined;
readonly concurrentFinalizers?: boolean | undefined;
} | undefined) => Effect.Effect<...>

Combines multiple effects into one, returning results based on the input structure.

When to Use

Use Effect.all when you need to run multiple effects and combine their results into a single output. It supports tuples, iterables, structs, and records, making it flexible for different input types.

For instance, if the input is a tuple:

// ┌─── a tuple of effects
// ▼
Effect.all([effect1, effect2, ...])

the effects are executed sequentially, and the result is a new effect containing the results as a tuple. The results in the tuple match the order of the effects passed to Effect.all.

Concurrency

You can control the execution order (e.g., sequential vs. concurrent) using the concurrency option.

Short-Circuiting Behavior

The Effect.all function stops execution on the first error it encounters, this is called "short-circuiting". If any effect in the collection fails, the remaining effects will not run, and the error will be propagated. To change this behavior, you can use the mode option, which allows all effects to run and collect results as Either or Option.

The mode option

The { mode: "either" } option changes the behavior of Effect.all to ensure all effects run, even if some fail. Instead of stopping on the first failure, this mode collects both successes and failures, returning an array of Either instances where each result is either a Right (success) or a Left (failure).

Similarly, the { mode: "validate" } option uses Option to indicate success or failure. Each effect returns None for success and Some with the error for failure.

@seeforEach for iterating over elements and applying an effect.

@example

// Title: Combining Effects in Tuples
import { Effect, Console } from "effect"
const tupleOfEffects = [
Effect.succeed(42).pipe(Effect.tap(Console.log)),
Effect.succeed("Hello").pipe(Effect.tap(Console.log))

// ┌─── Effect<[number, string], never, never>
// ▼
const resultsAsTuple = Effect.all(tupleOfEffects)
Effect.runPromise(resultsAsTuple).then(console.log)
// Output:
// 42
// Hello
// [ 42, 'Hello' ]

@example

// Title: Combining Effects in Iterables import { Effect, Console } from "effect"

const iterableOfEffects: Iterable<Effect.Effect> = [1, 2, 3].map( (n) => Effect.succeed(n).pipe(Effect.tap(Console.log)) )

Effect.runPromise(resultsAsArray).then(console.log) // Output: // 1 // 2 // 3 // [ 1, 2, 3 ]

@example

// Title: Combining Effects in Structs import { Effect, Console } from "effect"

Effect.runPromise(resultsAsStruct).then(console.log) // Output: // 42 // Hello // { a: 42, b: 'Hello' }

@example

// Title: Combining Effects in Records import { Effect, Console } from "effect"

const runPromise: <[void, void], never>(effect: Effect.Effect<[void, void], never, never>, options?: {

} | undefined) => Promise<[void, void]>

Executes an effect and returns the result as a Promise.

When to Use

Use runPromise when you need to execute an effect and work with the result using Promise syntax, typically for compatibility with other promise-based code.

If the effect succeeds, the promise will resolve with the result. If the effect fails, the promise will reject with an error.

@seerunPromiseExit for a version that returns an Exit type instead of rejecting.

@example

// Title: Running a Successful Effect as a Promise
import { Effect } from "effect"
Effect.runPromise(Effect.succeed(1)).then(console.log)
// Output: 1

}>(arg: readonly [...], options?: {
...;
} | undefined) => Effect.Effect<...>

Combines multiple effects into one, returning results based on the input structure.

When to Use

Use Effect.all when you need to run multiple effects and combine their results into a single output. It supports tuples, iterables, structs, and records, making it flexible for different input types.

For instance, if the input is a tuple:

// ┌─── a tuple of effects
// ▼
Effect.all([effect1, effect2, ...])

the effects are executed sequentially, and the result is a new effect containing the results as a tuple. The results in the tuple match the order of the effects passed to Effect.all.

Concurrency

You can control the execution order (e.g., sequential vs. concurrent) using the concurrency option.

Short-Circuiting Behavior

The Effect.all function stops execution on the first error it encounters, this is called "short-circuiting". If any effect in the collection fails, the remaining effects will not run, and the error will be propagated. To change this behavior, you can use the mode option, which allows all effects to run and collect results as Either or Option.

The mode option

The { mode: "either" } option changes the behavior of Effect.all to ensure all effects run, even if some fail. Instead of stopping on the first failure, this mode collects both successes and failures, returning an array of Either instances where each result is either a Right (success) or a Left (failure).

Similarly, the { mode: "validate" } option uses Option to indicate success or failure. Each effect returns None for success and Some with the error for failure.

// Title: Combining Effects in Tuples
import { Effect, Console } from "effect"
const tupleOfEffects = [
Effect.succeed(42).pipe(Effect.tap(Console.log)),
Effect.succeed("Hello").pipe(Effect.tap(Console.log))
] as const
// ┌─── Effect<[number, string], never, never>
// ▼
const resultsAsTuple = Effect.all(tupleOfEffects)
Effect.runPromise(resultsAsTuple).then(console.log)

Effect.runPromise(resultsAsRecord).then(console.log) // Output: // 1 // 2 // { key1: 1, key2: 2 }

@example

// Title: Short-Circuiting Behavior import { Effect, Console } from "effect"

const program = Effect.all([ Effect.succeed("Task1").pipe(Effect.tap(Console.log)), Effect.fail("Task2: Oh no!").pipe(Effect.tap(Console.log)), // Won't execute due to earlier failure Effect.succeed("Task3").pipe(Effect.tap(Console.log)) ])

Details

The provided function (thunk) returns a Promise that should never reject; if it does, the error will be treated as a "defect".

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 and process.stderr. 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 for more information.

Example using the global console:

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 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:

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');

function setTimeout<[]>(callback: () => void, ms?: number): NodeJS.Timeout (+1 overload)

Schedules execution of a one-time callback after delay milliseconds.

The callback will likely not be invoked in precisely delay milliseconds. Node.js makes no guarantees about the exact timing of when callbacks will fire, nor of their ordering. The callback will be called as close as possible to the time specified.

When delay is larger than 2147483647 or less than 1, the delay will be set to 1. Non-integer delays are truncated to an integer.

If callback is not a function, a TypeError will be thrown.

This method has a custom variant for promises that is available using timersPromises.setTimeout().

} | undefined) => Effect.Effect<...>

Combines multiple effects into one, returning results based on the input structure.

When to Use

Use Effect.all when you need to run multiple effects and combine their results into a single output. It supports tuples, iterables, structs, and records, making it flexible for different input types.

For instance, if the input is a tuple:

// ┌─── a tuple of effects
// ▼
Effect.all([effect1, effect2, ...])

the effects are executed sequentially, and the result is a new effect containing the results as a tuple. The results in the tuple match the order of the effects passed to Effect.all.

Concurrency

You can control the execution order (e.g., sequential vs. concurrent) using the concurrency option.

Short-Circuiting Behavior

The Effect.all function stops execution on the first error it encounters, this is called "short-circuiting". If any effect in the collection fails, the remaining effects will not run, and the error will be propagated. To change this behavior, you can use the mode option, which allows all effects to run and collect results as Either or Option.

The mode option

The { mode: "either" } option changes the behavior of Effect.all to ensure all effects run, even if some fail. Instead of stopping on the first failure, this mode collects both successes and failures, returning an array of Either instances where each result is either a Right (success) or a Left (failure).

Similarly, the { mode: "validate" } option uses Option to indicate success or failure. Each effect returns None for success and Some with the error for failure.

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 and process.stderr. 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 for more information.

Example using the global console:

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

const name = 'Will Robinson';
console.warn(`Danger ${name}! Danger!`);

function setTimeout<[]>(callback: () => void, ms?: number): NodeJS.Timeout (+1 overload)

Schedules execution of a one-time callback after delay milliseconds.

The callback will likely not be invoked in precisely delay milliseconds. Node.js makes no guarantees about the exact timing of when callbacks will fire, nor of their ordering. The callback will be called as close as possible to the time specified.

When delay is larger than 2147483647 or less than 1, the delay will be set to 1. Non-integer delays are truncated to an integer.

If callback is not a function, a TypeError will be thrown.

This method has a custom variant for promises that is available using timersPromises.setTimeout().

...;
}>(arg: readonly [...], options?: {
...;
} | undefined) => Effect.Effect<...>

Combines multiple effects into one, returning results based on the input structure.

When to Use

Use Effect.all when you need to run multiple effects and combine their results into a single output. It supports tuples, iterables, structs, and records, making it flexible for different input types.

For instance, if the input is a tuple:

// ┌─── a tuple of effects
// ▼
Effect.all([effect1, effect2, ...])

the effects are executed sequentially, and the result is a new effect containing the results as a tuple. The results in the tuple match the order of the effects passed to Effect.all.

Concurrency

You can control the execution order (e.g., sequential vs. concurrent) using the concurrency option.

Short-Circuiting Behavior

The Effect.all function stops execution on the first error it encounters, this is called "short-circuiting". If any effect in the collection fails, the remaining effects will not run, and the error will be propagated. To change this behavior, you can use the mode option, which allows all effects to run and collect results as Either or Option.

The mode option

The { mode: "either" } option changes the behavior of Effect.all to ensure all effects run, even if some fail. Instead of stopping on the first failure, this mode collects both successes and failures, returning an array of Either instances where each result is either a Right (success) or a Left (failure).

Similarly, the { mode: "validate" } option uses Option to indicate success or failure. Each effect returns None for success and Some with the error for failure.

@seeforEach for iterating over elements and applying an effect.

@example

// Title: Combining Effects in Tuples
import { Effect, Console } from "effect"
const tupleOfEffects = [
Effect.succeed(42).pipe(Effect.tap(Console.log)),
Effect.succeed("Hello").pipe(Effect.tap(Console.log))
] as const
// ┌─── Effect<[number, string], never, never>
// ▼
const resultsAsTuple = Effect.all(tupleOfEffects)
Effect.runPromise(resultsAsTuple).then(console.log)
// Output:

// Hello
// [ 42, 'Hello' ]

@example

// Title: Combining Effects in Iterables import { Effect, Console } from "effect"

Effect.runPromise(resultsAsArray).then(console.log) // Output: // 1 // 2 // 3 // [ 1, 2, 3 ]

Effect.runPromise(resultsAsStruct).then(console.log) // Output: // 42 // Hello // { a: 42, b: 'Hello' }

Effect.runPromise(resultsAsRecord).then(console.log) // Output: // 1 // 2 // { key1: 1, key2: 2 }

@example

const program = Effect.all([ Effect.succeed("Task1").pipe(Effect.tap(Console.log)), Effect.fail("Task2: Oh no!").pipe(Effect.tap(Console.log)), // Won't execute due to earlier failure Effect.succeed("Task3").pipe(Effect.tap(Console.log)) ])

Executes an effect and returns the result as a Promise.

When to Use

Use runPromise when you need to execute an effect and work with the result using Promise syntax, typically for compatibility with other promise-based code.

If the effect succeeds, the promise will resolve with the result. If the effect fails, the promise will reject with an error.

// Title: Running a Successful Effect as a Promise
import { Effect } from "effect"

const promise: <void>(evaluate: (signal: AbortSignal) => PromiseLike<void>) => Effect.Effect<void, never, never>

Creates an Effect that represents an asynchronous computation guaranteed to succeed.

When to Use

Use promise when you are sure the operation will not reject.

Details

The provided function (thunk) returns a Promise that should never reject; if it does, the error will be treated as a "defect".

This defect is not a standard error but indicates a flaw in the logic that was expected to be error-free. You can think of it similar to an unexpected crash in the program, which can be further managed or logged using tools like

catchAllDefect

.

Interruptions

An optional AbortSignal can be provided to allow for interruption of the wrapped Promise API.

Combines multiple effects into one, returning results based on the input structure.

When to Use

Use Effect.all when you need to run multiple effects and combine their results into a single output. It supports tuples, iterables, structs, and records, making it flexible for different input types.

For instance, if the input is a tuple:

// ┌─── a tuple of effects
// ▼
Effect.all([effect1, effect2, ...])

the effects are executed sequentially, and the result is a new effect containing the results as a tuple. The results in the tuple match the order of the effects passed to Effect.all.

Concurrency

You can control the execution order (e.g., sequential vs. concurrent) using the concurrency option.

Short-Circuiting Behavior

The Effect.all function stops execution on the first error it encounters, this is called "short-circuiting". If any effect in the collection fails, the remaining effects will not run, and the error will be propagated. To change this behavior, you can use the mode option, which allows all effects to run and collect results as Either or Option.

The mode option

The { mode: "either" } option changes the behavior of Effect.all to ensure all effects run, even if some fail. Instead of stopping on the first failure, this mode collects both successes and failures, returning an array of Either instances where each result is either a Right (success) or a Left (failure).

Similarly, the { mode: "validate" } option uses Option to indicate success or failure. Each effect returns None for success and Some with the error for failure.

Executes an effect and returns the result as a Promise.

When to Use

Use runPromise when you need to execute an effect and work with the result using Promise syntax, typically for compatibility with other promise-based code.

If the effect succeeds, the promise will resolve with the result. If the effect fails, the promise will reject with an error.

@seerunPromiseExit for a version that returns an Exit type instead of rejecting.

@example

// Title: Running a Successful Effect as a Promise
import { Effect } from "effect"
Effect.runPromise(Effect.succeed(1)).then(console.log)
// Output: 1

All effects in Effect are executed by fibers. If you didn’t create the fiber yourself, it was created by an operation you’re using (if it’s concurrent) or by the Effect runtime system.

A fiber is created any time an effect is run. When running effects concurrently, a fiber is created for each concurrent effect.

To summarize:

  • An Effect is a higher-level concept that describes an effectful computation. It is lazy and immutable, meaning it represents a computation that may produce a value or fail but does not immediately execute.
  • A fiber, on the other hand, represents the running execution of an Effect. It can be interrupted or awaited to retrieve its result. Think of it as a way to control and interact with the ongoing computation.

Fibers can be interrupted in various ways. Let’s explore some of these scenarios and see examples of how to interrupt fibers in Effect.

A fiber can be interrupted using the Effect.interrupt effect on that particular fiber.

Example (Without Interruption)

In this case, the program runs without any interruption, logging the start and completion of the task.

const gen: <YieldWrap<Effect.Effect<void, never, never>>, void>(f: (resume: Effect.Adapter) => Generator<YieldWrap<Effect.Effect<void, never, never>>, void, never>) => Effect.Effect<...> (+1 overload)

Provides a way to write effectful code using generator functions, simplifying control flow and error handling.

When to Use

gen allows you to write code that looks and behaves like synchronous code, but it can handle asynchronous tasks, errors, and complex control flow (like loops and conditions). It helps make asynchronous code more readable and easier to manage.

The generator functions work similarly to async/await but with more explicit control over the execution of effects. You can yield* values from effects and return the final result at the end.

@example

import { Effect } from "effect"
const addServiceCharge = (amount: number) => amount + 1
const applyDiscount = (
total: number,
discountRate: number
): Effect.Effect<number, Error> =>
discountRate === 0
? Effect.fail(new Error("Discount rate cannot be zero"))
: Effect.succeed(total - (total * discountRate) / 100)
const fetchTransactionAmount = Effect.promise(() => Promise.resolve(100))
const fetchDiscountRate = Effect.promise(() => Promise.resolve(5))
export const program = Effect.gen(function* () {
const transactionAmount = yield* fetchTransactionAmount
const discountRate = yield* fetchDiscountRate

To adjust the log level, use the Logger.withMinimumLogLevel function.

@example

Cause.die("Oh no!"),

const runPromiseExit: <void, never>(effect: Effect.Effect<void, never, never>, options?: {
readonly signal?: AbortSignal;
} | undefined) => Promise<Exit<void, never>>

Runs an effect and returns a Promise that resolves to an Exit, which represents the outcome (success or failure) of the effect.

When to Use

Use runPromiseExit when you need to determine if an effect succeeded or failed, including any defects, and you want to work with a Promise.

Details

The Exit type represents the result of the effect:

  • If the effect succeeds, the result is wrapped in a Success.
  • If it fails, the failure information is provided as a Failure containing a Cause type.

@example

// Title: Handling Results as Exit
import { Effect } from "effect"
// Execute a successful effect and get the Exit result as a Promise
Effect.runPromiseExit(Effect.succeed(1)).then(console.log)
// Output:
// {

// Execute a failing effect and get the Exit result as a Promise

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 and process.stderr. 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 for more information.

Example using the global console:

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 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:

const err = getStreamSomehow();
const myConsole = new console.Console(out, err);
myConsole.log('hello world');
// Prints: hello world, to out
myConsole.log('hello %s', 'world');

readonly discard?: false | undefined;
readonly concurrentFinalizers?: boolean | undefined;
} | undefined) => Effect.Effect<...> (+3 overloads)

Executes an effectful operation for each element in an Iterable.

Details

The forEach function applies a provided operation to each element in the iterable, producing a new effect that returns an array of results.

If any effect fails, the iteration stops immediately (short-circuiting), and the error is propagated.

Concurrency

The concurrency option controls how many operations are performed concurrently. By default, the operations are performed sequentially.

Discarding Results

If the discard option is set to true, the intermediate results are not collected, and the final result of the operation is void.

@seeall for combining multiple effects into one.

const gen: <YieldWrap<Effect.Effect<void, never, never>>, void>(f: (resume: Effect.Adapter) => Generator<YieldWrap<Effect.Effect<void, never, never>>, void, never>) => Effect.Effect<...> (+1 overload)

Provides a way to write effectful code using generator functions, simplifying control flow and error handling.

When to Use

gen allows you to write code that looks and behaves like synchronous code, but it can handle asynchronous tasks, errors, and complex control flow (like loops and conditions). It helps make asynchronous code more readable and easier to manage.

The generator functions work similarly to async/await but with more explicit control over the execution of effects. You can yield* values from effects and return the final result at the end.

@example

import { Effect } from "effect"
const addServiceCharge = (amount: number) => amount + 1
const applyDiscount = (
total: number,
discountRate: number
): Effect.Effect<number, Error> =>
discountRate === 0
? Effect.fail(new Error("Discount rate cannot be zero"))
: Effect.succeed(total - (total * discountRate) / 100)
const fetchTransactionAmount = Effect.promise(() => Promise.resolve(100))
const fetchDiscountRate = Effect.promise(() => Promise.resolve(5))
export const program = Effect.gen(function* () {

const runPromiseExit: <void[], never>(effect: Effect.Effect<void[], never, never>, options?: {
readonly signal?: AbortSignal;
} | undefined) => Promise<Exit<void[], never>>

Runs an effect and returns a Promise that resolves to an Exit, which represents the outcome (success or failure) of the effect.

When to Use

Use runPromiseExit when you need to determine if an effect succeeded or failed, including any defects, and you want to work with a Promise.

Details

The Exit type represents the result of the effect:

  • If the effect succeeds, the result is wrapped in a Success.
  • If it fails, the failure information is provided as a Failure containing a Cause type.

@example

// Title: Handling Results as Exit
import { Effect } from "effect"
// Execute a successful effect and get the Exit result as a Promise
Effect.runPromiseExit(Effect.succeed(1)).then(console.log)
// Output:
// {
// _id: "Exit",
// _tag: "Success",
// value: 1
// }
// Execute a failing effect and get the Exit result as a Promise
Effect.runPromiseExit(Effect.fail("my error")).then(console.log)
// Output:
// {
// _id: "Exit",
// _tag: "Failure",
// cause: {
// _id: "Cause",

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 and process.stderr. 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 for more information.

Example using the global console:

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:

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

const count = 5;
console.log('count: %d', count);
// Prints: count: 5, to stdout

This function takes two effects and runs them concurrently. The first effect that successfully completes will determine the result of the race, and the other effect will be interrupted.

If neither effect succeeds, the function will fail with a cause containing all the errors.

This is useful when you want to run two effects concurrently, but only care about the first one to succeed. It is commonly used in cases like timeouts, retries, or when you want to optimize for the faster response without worrying about the other effect.

Runs a side effect with the result of an effect without changing the original value.

When to Use

Use tap when you want to perform a side effect, like logging or tracking, without modifying the main value. This is useful when you need to observe or record an action but want the original value to be passed to the next step.

Details

tap works similarly to flatMap, but it ignores the result of the function passed to it. The value from the previous effect remains available for the next part of the chain. Note that if the side effect fails, the entire chain will fail too.

@example

// Title: Logging a step in a pipeline

// Function to apply a discount safely to a transaction amount
const applyDiscount = (
total: number,
discountRate: number
): Effect.Effect<number, Error> =>

tap works similarly to flatMap, but it ignores the result of the function passed to it. The value from the previous effect remains available for the next part of the chain. Note that if the side effect fails, the entire chain will fail too.

@example

// Title: Logging a step in a pipeline
import { Console, Effect, pipe } from "effect"
// Function to apply a discount safely to a transaction amount
const applyDiscount = (
total: number,
discountRate: number
): Effect.Effect<number, Error> =>
discountRate === 0
? Effect.fail(new Error("Discount rate cannot be zero"))
: Effect.succeed(total - (total * discountRate) / 100)
// Simulated asynchronous task to fetch a transaction amount from database
const fetchTransactionAmount = Effect.promise(() => Promise.resolve(100))
const finalAmount = pipe(
fetchTransactionAmount,
// Log the fetched transaction amount
Effect.tap((amount) => Console.log(`Apply a discount to: ${amount}`)),
// `amount` is still available!
Effect.flatMap((amount) => applyDiscount(amount, 5))
)
Effect.runPromise(finalAmount).then(console.log)
// Output:
// Apply a discount to: 100
// 95

const runFork: <string, string>(effect: Effect.Effect<string, string, never>, options?: RunForkOptions) => RuntimeFiber<string, string>

The foundational function for running effects, returning a "fiber" that can be observed or interrupted.

When to Use

runFork is used to run an effect in the background by creating a fiber. It is the base function for all other run functions. It starts a fiber that can be observed or interrupted.

Unless you specifically need a Promise or synchronous operation, runFork is a good default choice.

@example

// Title: Running an Effect in the Background
import { Effect, Console, Schedule, Fiber } from "effect"
// ┌─── Effect<number, never, never>
// ▼
const program = Effect.repeat(
Console.log("running..."),
Schedule.spaced("200 millis")
)
// ┌─── RuntimeFiber<number, never>
// ▼
const fiber = Effect.runFork(program)
setTimeout(() => {
Effect.runFork(Fiber.interrupt(fiber))
}, 500)

const runPromiseExit: <never, string>(effect: Effect.Effect<never, string, never>, options?: {
readonly signal?: AbortSignal;
} | undefined) => Promise<Exit<never, string>>

Runs an effect and returns a Promise that resolves to an Exit, which represents the outcome (success or failure) of the effect.

When to Use

Use runPromiseExit when you need to determine if an effect succeeded or failed, including any defects, and you want to work with a Promise.

Details

The Exit type represents the result of the effect:

  • If the effect succeeds, the result is wrapped in a Success.
  • If it fails, the failure information is provided as a Failure containing a Cause type.

@example

// Title: Handling Results as Exit
import { Effect } from "effect"
// Execute a successful effect and get the Exit result as a Promise
Effect.runPromiseExit(Effect.succeed(1)).then(console.log)
// Output:
// {
// _id: "Exit",
// _tag: "Success",
// value: 1
// }
// Execute a failing effect and get the Exit result as a Promise
Effect.runPromiseExit(Effect.fail("my error")).then(console.log)
// Output:
// {
// _id: "Exit",

Promise<Exit<never, string>>.then<void, never>(onfulfilled?: ((value: Exit<never, string>) => void | PromiseLike<void>) | null | undefined, onrejected?: ((reason: any) => PromiseLike<never>) | null | undefined): Promise<...>

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

@paramonfulfilled The callback to execute when the Promise is resolved.

@paramonrejected The callback to execute when the Promise is rejected.

@returnsA Promise for the completion of which ever callback is executed.

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 and process.stderr. 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 for more information.

Example using the global console:

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:

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

@seesource

console
.
globalThis.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) (the arguments are all passed to util.format()).

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() for more information.

The Either can either be a Left (representing failure) or a Right (representing success). This allows you to handle both cases explicitly without causing the effect to fail.

The resulting effect cannot fail because failure is now represented inside the Either type.

@seeexit for a version that uses Exit instead.

@example

import { Effect, Either, Random } from "effect"
class HttpError {
readonly _tag = "HttpError"
}
class ValidationError {
readonly _tag = "ValidationError"

readonly signal?: AbortSignal;
} | undefined) => Promise<...>

Executes an effect and returns the result as a Promise.

When to Use

Use runPromise when you need to execute an effect and work with the result using Promise syntax, typically for compatibility with other promise-based code.

If the effect succeeds, the promise will resolve with the result. If the effect fails, the promise will reject with an error.

@seerunPromiseExit for a version that returns an Exit type instead of rejecting.

@example

// Title: Running a Successful Effect as a Promise
import { Effect } from "effect"
Effect.runPromise(Effect.succeed(1)).then(console.log)
// Output: 1

@example

//Example: Handling a Failing Effect as a Rejected Promise import { Effect } from "effect"

Effect.runPromise(Effect.fail("my error")).catch(console.error) // Output: // (FiberFailure) Error: my error

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

@paramonfulfilled The callback to execute when the Promise is resolved.

@paramonrejected The callback to execute when the Promise is rejected.

@returnsA Promise for the completion of which ever callback is executed.

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 and process.stderr. 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 for more information.

Example using the global console:

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:

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

@seesource

console
.
globalThis.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) (the arguments are all passed to util.format()).

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() for more information.

/*
Output:
task2 interrupted
{ _id: 'Either', _tag: 'Left', left: 'task1' }
*/

This function runs multiple effects concurrently and returns the result of the first one to succeed. If one effect succeeds, the others will be interrupted.

If none of the effects succeed, the function will fail with the last error encountered.

This is useful when you want to race multiple effects, but only care about the first one to succeed. It is commonly used in cases like timeouts, retries, or when you want to optimize for the faster response without worrying about the other effects.

Runs a side effect with the result of an effect without changing the original value.

When to Use

Use tap when you want to perform a side effect, like logging or tracking, without modifying the main value. This is useful when you need to observe or record an action but want the original value to be passed to the next step.

Details

tap works similarly to flatMap, but it ignores the result of the function passed to it. The value from the previous effect remains available for the next part of the chain. Note that if the side effect fails, the entire chain will fail too.

@example

// Title: Logging a step in a pipeline
import { Console, Effect, pipe } from "effect"
// Function to apply a discount safely to a transaction amount
const applyDiscount = (
total: number,
discountRate: number
): Effect.Effect<number, Error> =>
discountRate === 0
? Effect.fail(new Error("Discount rate cannot be zero"))

// `amount` is still available!

const tap: <Effect.Effect<void, never, never>>(f: Effect.Effect<void, never, never>) => <A, E, R>(self: Effect.Effect<A, E, R>) => Effect.Effect<A, E, R> (+7 overloads)

Runs a side effect with the result of an effect without changing the original value.

When to Use

Use tap when you want to perform a side effect, like logging or tracking, without modifying the main value. This is useful when you need to observe or record an action but want the original value to be passed to the next step.

Details

tap works similarly to flatMap, but it ignores the result of the function passed to it. The value from the previous effect remains available for the next part of the chain. Note that if the side effect fails, the entire chain will fail too.

@example

// Title: Logging a step in a pipeline
import { Console, Effect, pipe } from "effect"
// Function to apply a discount safely to a transaction amount
const applyDiscount = (
total: number,
discountRate: number
): Effect.Effect<number, Error> =>
discountRate === 0
? Effect.fail(new Error("Discount rate cannot be zero"))
: Effect.succeed(total - (total * discountRate) / 100)
// Simulated asynchronous task to fetch a transaction amount from database
const fetchTransactionAmount = Effect.promise(() => Promise.resolve(100))
const finalAmount = pipe(
fetchTransactionAmount,
// Log the fetched transaction amount
Effect.tap((amount) => Console.log(`Apply a discount to: ${amount}`)),
// `amount` is still available!
Effect.flatMap((amount) => applyDiscount(amount, 5))
)

// Apply a discount to: 100

const runFork: <string, string>(effect: Effect.Effect<string, string, never>, options?: RunForkOptions) => RuntimeFiber<string, string>

The foundational function for running effects, returning a "fiber" that can be observed or interrupted.

When to Use

runFork is used to run an effect in the background by creating a fiber. It is the base function for all other run functions. It starts a fiber that can be observed or interrupted.

Unless you specifically need a Promise or synchronous operation, runFork is a good default choice.

@example

// Title: Running an Effect in the Background
import { Effect, Console, Schedule, Fiber } from "effect"
// ┌─── Effect<number, never, never>
// ▼
const program = Effect.repeat(
Console.log("running..."),
Schedule.spaced("200 millis")

const runPromiseExit: <never, string>(effect: Effect.Effect<never, string, never>, options?: {

Runs an effect and returns a Promise that resolves to an Exit, which represents the outcome (success or failure) of the effect.

When to Use

Use runPromiseExit when you need to determine if an effect succeeded or failed, including any defects, and you want to work with a Promise.

Details

The Exit type represents the result of the effect:

  • If the effect succeeds, the result is wrapped in a Success.
  • If it fails, the failure information is provided as a Failure containing a Cause type.

@example

// Title: Handling Results as Exit
import { Effect } from "effect"
// Execute a successful effect and get the Exit result as a Promise
Effect.runPromiseExit(Effect.succeed(1)).then(console.log)
// Output:
// {

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 and process.stderr. 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 for more information.

Example using the global console:

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:

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

@seesource

console
.
globalThis.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) (the arguments are all passed to util.format()).

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() for more information.

This function takes two effects and runs them concurrently, returning the result of the first one that completes, regardless of whether it succeeds or fails.

This function is useful when you want to race two operations, and you want to proceed with whichever one finishes first, regardless of whether it succeeds or fails.

const tap: <Effect.Effect<void, never, never>>(f: Effect.Effect<void, never, never>) => <A, E, R>(self: Effect.Effect<A, E, R>) => Effect.Effect<A, E, R> (+7 overloads)

Runs a side effect with the result of an effect without changing the original value.

When to Use

Use tap when you want to perform a side effect, like logging or tracking, without modifying the main value. This is useful when you need to observe or record an action but want the original value to be passed to the next step.

Details

tap works similarly to flatMap, but it ignores the result of the function passed to it. The value from the previous effect remains available for the next part of the chain. Note that if the side effect fails, the entire chain will fail too.

@example

// Title: Logging a step in a pipeline
import { Console, Effect, pipe } from "effect"
// Function to apply a discount safely to a transaction amount
const applyDiscount = (
total: number,
discountRate: number
): Effect.Effect<number, Error> =>
discountRate === 0
? Effect.fail(new Error("Discount rate cannot be zero"))
: Effect.succeed(total - (total * discountRate) / 100)
// Simulated asynchronous task to fetch a transaction amount from database
const fetchTransactionAmount = Effect.promise(() => Promise.resolve(100))
const finalAmount = pipe(
fetchTransactionAmount,
// Log the fetched transaction amount
Effect.tap((amount) => Console.log(`Apply a discount to: ${amount}`)),
// `amount` is still available!
Effect.flatMap((amount) => applyDiscount(amount, 5))

const runPromiseExit: <string, never>(effect: Effect.Effect<string, never, never>, options?: {
readonly signal?: AbortSignal;
} | undefined) => Promise<Exit<string, never>>

Runs an effect and returns a Promise that resolves to an Exit, which represents the outcome (success or failure) of the effect.

When to Use

Use runPromiseExit when you need to determine if an effect succeeded or failed, including any defects, and you want to work with a Promise.

Details

The Exit type represents the result of the effect:

  • If the effect succeeds, the result is wrapped in a Success.
  • If it fails, the failure information is provided as a Failure containing a Cause type.

@example

// Title: Handling Results as Exit
import { Effect } from "effect"
// Execute a successful effect and get the Exit result as a Promise
Effect.runPromiseExit(Effect.succeed(1)).then(console.log)
// Output:
// {
// _id: "Exit",
// _tag: "Success",
// value: 1
// }
// Execute a failing effect and get the Exit result as a Promise
Effect.runPromiseExit(Effect.fail("my error")).then(console.log)
// Output:
// {
// _id: "Exit",
// _tag: "Failure",
// cause: {
// _id: "Cause",

// failure: "my error"
// }

Promise<Exit<string, never>>.then<void, never>(onfulfilled?: ((value: Exit<string, never>) => void | PromiseLike<void>) | null | undefined, onrejected?: ((reason: any) => PromiseLike<never>) | null | undefined): Promise<...>

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

@paramonfulfilled The callback to execute when the Promise is resolved.

@paramonrejected The callback to execute when the Promise is rejected.

@returnsA Promise for the completion of which ever callback is executed.

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 and process.stderr. 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 for more information.

Example using the global console:

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:

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

@seesource

console
.
globalThis.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) (the arguments are all passed to util.format()).

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() for more information.

const tap: <Effect.Effect<void, never, never>>(f: Effect.Effect<void, never, never>) => <A, E, R>(self: Effect.Effect<A, E, R>) => Effect.Effect<A, E, R> (+7 overloads)

Runs a side effect with the result of an effect without changing the original value.

When to Use

Use tap when you want to perform a side effect, like logging or tracking, without modifying the main value. This is useful when you need to observe or record an action but want the original value to be passed to the next step.

Details

tap works similarly to flatMap, but it ignores the result of the function passed to it. The value from the previous effect remains available for the next part of the chain. Note that if the side effect fails, the entire chain will fail too.

@example

// Title: Logging a step in a pipeline
import { Console, Effect, pipe } from "effect"
// Function to apply a discount safely to a transaction amount
const applyDiscount = (
total: number,
discountRate: number
): Effect.Effect<number, Error> =>
discountRate === 0
? Effect.fail(new Error("Discount rate cannot be zero"))
: Effect.succeed(total - (total * discountRate) / 100)
// Simulated asynchronous task to fetch a transaction amount from database
const fetchTransactionAmount = Effect.promise(() => Promise.resolve(100))
const finalAmount = pipe(
fetchTransactionAmount,
// Log the fetched transaction amount
Effect.tap((amount) => Console.log(`Apply a discount to: ${amount}`)),
// `amount` is still available!
Effect.flatMap((amount) => applyDiscount(amount, 5))
)
Effect.runPromise(finalAmount).then(console.log)
// Output:
// Apply a discount to: 100

const runPromiseExit: <string, string>(effect: Effect.Effect<string, string, never>, options?: {

Runs an effect and returns a Promise that resolves to an Exit, which represents the outcome (success or failure) of the effect.

When to Use

Use runPromiseExit when you need to determine if an effect succeeded or failed, including any defects, and you want to work with a Promise.

Details

The Exit type represents the result of the effect:

  • If the effect succeeds, the result is wrapped in a Success.
  • If it fails, the failure information is provided as a Failure containing a Cause type.

@example

// Title: Handling Results as Exit
import { Effect } from "effect"
// Execute a successful effect and get the Exit result as a Promise
Effect.runPromiseExit(Effect.succeed(1)).then(console.log)
// Output:
// {

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 and process.stderr. 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 for more information.

Example using the global console:

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:

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'));

globalThis.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) (the arguments are all passed to util.format()).

const count = 5;
console.log('count: %d', count);
// Prints: count: 5, to stdout
console.log('count:', count);

*/

The Effect.raceFirst function safely interrupts the “loser” effect once the other completes, but it will not resume until the loser is cleanly terminated.

If you want a quicker return, you can disconnect the interrupt signal for both effects. Instead of calling:

Effect.raceFirst(task1, task2)

You can use:

Effect.raceFirst(Effect.disconnect(task1), Effect.disconnect(task2))

This allows both effects to complete independently while still terminating the losing effect in the background.

Provides a way to handle timeouts in uninterruptible effects, allowing them to continue in the background while the main control flow proceeds with the timeout error.

The disconnect function allows an uninterruptible effect to continue running in the background, while enabling the main control flow to immediately recognize a timeout condition. This is useful when you want to avoid blocking the program due to long-running tasks, especially when those tasks do not need to affect the flow of the rest of the program.

Without disconnect, an uninterruptible effect will ignore the timeout and continue executing until it completes. The timeout error will only be assessed after the effect finishes, which can cause delays in recognizing a timeout.

With disconnect, the uninterruptible effect proceeds in the background while the main program flow can immediately handle the timeout error or trigger alternative logic. This enables faster timeout handling without waiting for the completion of the long-running task.

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) (the arguments are all passed to util.format()).

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() for more information.

This function runs two effects concurrently and calls a specified “finisher” function once one of the effects completes, regardless of whether it succeeds or fails.

The finisher functions for each effect allow you to handle the results of each effect as soon as they complete.

The function takes two finisher callbacks, one for each effect, and allows you to specify how to handle the result of the race.

This function is useful when you need to react to the completion of either effect without waiting for both to finish. It can be used whenever you want to take action based on the first available result.

When to Use

Use this function when you need an effect that completes successfully with a specific value without any errors or external dependencies.

const tap: <Effect.Effect<void, never, never>>(f: Effect.Effect<void, never, never>) => <A, E, R>(self: Effect.Effect<A, E, R>) => Effect.Effect<A, E, R> (+7 overloads)

Runs a side effect with the result of an effect without changing the original value.

When to Use

Use tap when you want to perform a side effect, like logging or tracking, without modifying the main value. This is useful when you need to observe or record an action but want the original value to be passed to the next step.

Details

tap works similarly to flatMap, but it ignores the result of the function passed to it. The value from the previous effect remains available for the next part of the chain. Note that if the side effect fails, the entire chain will fail too.

@example

// Title: Logging a step in a pipeline
import { Console, Effect, pipe } from "effect"
// Function to apply a discount safely to a transaction amount
const applyDiscount = (
total: number,
discountRate: number
): Effect.Effect<number, Error> =>
discountRate === 0
? Effect.fail(new Error("Discount rate cannot be zero"))
: Effect.succeed(total - (total * discountRate) / 100)
// Simulated asynchronous task to fetch a transaction amount from database
const fetchTransactionAmount = Effect.promise(() => Promise.resolve(100))
const finalAmount = pipe(
fetchTransactionAmount,
// Log the fetched transaction amount
Effect.tap((amount) => Console.log(`Apply a discount to: ${amount}`)),
// `amount` is still available!
Effect.flatMap((amount) => applyDiscount(amount, 5))
)
Effect.runPromise(finalAmount).then(console.log)
// Output:
// Apply a discount to: 100
// 95

const runFork: <void, never>(effect: Effect.Effect<void, never, never>, options?: RunForkOptions) => RuntimeFiber<void, never>

The foundational function for running effects, returning a "fiber" that can be observed or interrupted.

When to Use

runFork is used to run an effect in the background by creating a fiber. It is the base function for all other run functions. It starts a fiber that can be observed or interrupted.

Unless you specifically need a Promise or synchronous operation, runFork is a good default choice.

@example

// Title: Running an Effect in the Background
import { Effect, Console, Schedule, Fiber } from "effect"
// ┌─── Effect<number, never, never>
// ▼
const program = Effect.repeat(
Console.log("running..."),
Schedule.spaced("200 millis")
)
// ┌─── RuntimeFiber<number, never>
// ▼
const fiber = Effect.runFork(program)
setTimeout(() => {
Effect.runFork(Fiber.interrupt(fiber))
}, 500)
