Consuming Streams

When working with streams, it’s essential to understand how to consume the data they produce. In this guide, we’ll walk through several common methods for consuming streams.

To gather all the elements from a stream into a single Chunk, you can use the Stream.runCollect function.

import {
import Stream
Stream
,
import Effect

@since2.0.0

@since2.0.0

Effect
} from "effect"
const
const stream: Stream.Stream<number, never, never>
stream
=
import Stream
Stream
.
const make: <[number, number, number, number, number]>(as_0: number, as_1: number, as_2: number, as_3: number, as_4: number) => Stream.Stream<number, never, never>

Creates a stream from an sequence of values.

@example

import { Effect, Stream } from "effect"
const stream = Stream.make(1, 2, 3)
// Effect.runPromise(Stream.runCollect(stream)).then(console.log)
// { _id: 'Chunk', values: [ 1, 2, 3 ] }

@since2.0.0

make
(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
const
const collectedData: Effect.Effect<Chunk<number>, never, never>
collectedData
=
import Stream
Stream
.
const runCollect: <number, never, never>(self: Stream.Stream<number, never, never>) => Effect.Effect<Chunk<number>, never, never>

Runs the stream and collects all of its elements to a chunk.

runCollect
(
const stream: Stream.Stream<number, never, never>
stream

import Effect

Effect
.
const runPromise: <Chunk<number>, never>(effect: Effect.Effect<Chunk<number>, never, never>, options?: {
readonly signal?: AbortSignal;
} | undefined) => Promise<Chunk<number>>

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

@since2.0.0

runPromise
(
const collectedData: Effect.Effect<Chunk<number>, never, never>
collectedData
).
Promise<Chunk<number>>.then<void, never>(onfulfilled?: ((value: Chunk<number>) => 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
.
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

Another way to consume elements of a stream is by using Stream.runForEach. It takes a callback function that receives each element of the stream. Here’s an example:

import {
import Stream
Stream

import Effect

Stream
.
const make: <[number, number, number]>(as_0: number, as_1: number, as_2: number) => Stream.Stream<number, never, never>

Creates a stream from an sequence of values.

@example

import { Effect, Stream } from "effect"
const stream = Stream.make(1, 2, 3)
// Effect.runPromise(Stream.runCollect(stream)).then(console.log)
// { _id: 'Chunk', values: [ 1, 2, 3 ] }

@since2.0.0

make
(1, 2, 3).

pipe
(
import Stream
Stream
.
const runForEach: <number, void, never, never>(f: (a: number) => Effect.Effect<void, never, never>) => <E, R>(self: Stream.Stream<number, E, R>) => Effect.Effect<void, E, R> (+1 overload)

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

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

In this example, we use Stream.runForEach to log each element to the console.

@example

import { Effect, Stream } from "effect"

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
.
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: 6

In this example, we use a Sink to calculate the sum of the elements in the stream.
