Types
A collection of types that are commonly used types.
Models

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

type Covariant<A> = (_: never) => A;Determines if two types are equal.
Signature
type Equals<X, Y> = <T>() => T extends X

: false;Example
import type { Types } from "effect"
type Res1 = Types.Equals<{ a: number }, { a: number }> // true
type Res2 = Types.Equals<{ a: number }, { b: number }> // falseEqualsWith type
Determines if two types are equal, allowing to specify the return types.
Signature
type EqualsWith<A, B, Y, N> = <T>() => T extends A
? 1

type Has<A, Key extends string> = Key extends infer K
? K extends keyof A
? true

: never extends never
? false
: true;Example
import type { Types } from "effect"
type Res1 = Types.Has<{ a: number }, "a" | "b"> // true
type Res2 = Types.Has<{ c: number }, "a" | "b"> // falseInvariant helper.
Signature
type Invariant<A> = (_: A) => A;Merges two object where the keys of the left object take precedence in the case of a conflict.
Signature
type MergeLeft<Source, Target> = MergeRight<Target, Source>;Example
import type { Types } from "effect"
type MergeLeft = Types.MergeLeft<{ a: number; b: number }, { a: string }> // { a: number; b: number; }MergeRecord type
Signature
type MergeRecord<Source, Target> = MergeLeft<Source, Target>;MergeRight type
Merges two object where the keys of the right object take precedence in the case of a conflict.
Signature
type MergeRight<Target, Source> = Simplify<Source & { [Key in keyof Target]: Target[Key] }>;Example
import type { Types } from "effect"
type MergeRight = Types.MergeRight<{ a: number; b: number }, { a: string }> // { a: string; b: number; }Avoid inference on a specific parameter
Signature
type NoInfer<A> = [A][A extends any ? 0 : never];Other
Signature
type Ctor<T = {}> = (...args: Array<any>) => T;MatchRecord type
Signature
type MatchRecord<S, onTrue, onFalse> = {} extends S ? onTrue : onFalse;NoExcessProperties type
Signature
type NoExcessProperties<T, U> = T & { [K in Exclude<keyof U, keyof T>]: never };NotFunction type
Signature
type NotFunction<T> = T extends Function ? never : T;VoidIfEmpty type
Conditional type that returns void if S is an empty object type, otherwise returns S.
Signature
type VoidIfEmpty<S> = keyof S extends never ? void : S;Tuples
Represents a tuple with a fixed number of elements of type T.
This type constructs a tuple that has exactly N elements of type T.
Signature
type TupleOf<N extends number, T> = N extends N
? number extends N
? Array<T>
: _TupleOf<T, N, []>
: never;Example
import { TupleOf } from "effect/Types"
// A tuple with exactly 3 numbers
const example1: TupleOf<3, number> = [1, 2, 3] // valid
// @ts-expect-error
const example2: TupleOf<3, number> = [1, 2] // invalid
// @ts-expect-error
const example3: TupleOf<3, number> = [1, 2, 3, 4] // invalidTupleOfAtLeast type
Represents a tuple with at least N elements of type T.
This type constructs a tuple that has a fixed number of elements N of type T at the start, followed by any number (including zero) of additional elements of the same type T.
Signature
type TupleOfAtLeast<N extends number, T> = [...TupleOf<N, T>, ...Array<T>];Example
import { TupleOfAtLeast } from "effect/Types"
// A tuple with at least 3 numbers
const example1: TupleOfAtLeast<3, number> = [1, 2, 3] // valid
const example2: TupleOfAtLeast<3, number> = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] // valid
// @ts-expect-error
const example3: TupleOfAtLeast<3, number> = [1, 2] // invalidTypes
DeepMutable type
Like Types.Mutable, but works recursively.
Signature
type DeepMutable<T> =
T extends ReadonlyMap<infer K, infer V>
? Map<DeepMutable<K>, DeepMutable<V>>
: T extends ReadonlySet<infer V>
? Set<DeepMutable<V>>
: T extends string | number | boolean | bigint | symbol | Function
? T
: { [K in keyof T]: DeepMutable<T[K]> };Example
import type { Types } from "effect"
type DeepMutableStruct = Types.DeepMutable<{
readonly a: string
readonly b: readonly string[]
}>
// { a: string; b: string[] }ExcludeTag type
Excludes the tagged object from the type.
Signature
type ExcludeTag<E, K extends Tags<E>> = Exclude<
E,
{
_tag: K;
}
>;Example
import type { Types } from "effect"
type Res = Types.ExcludeTag<string | { _tag: "a" } | { _tag: "b" }, "a"> // string | { _tag: "b" }ExtractTag type
Extracts the type of the given tag.
Signature
type ExtractTag<E, K extends Tags<E>> = Extract<
E,
{
_tag: K;
}
>;Example
import type { Types } from "effect"
type Res = Types.ExtractTag<{ _tag: "a"; a: number } | { _tag: "b"; b: number }, "b"> // { _tag: "b", b: number }Make all properties in T mutable. Supports arrays, tuples, and records as well.
Signature
type Mutable<T> = { [P in keyof T]: T[P] };Example
import type { Types } from "effect"
type MutableStruct = Types.Mutable<{ readonly a: string; readonly b: number }> // { a: string; b: number; }
type MutableArray = Types.Mutable<ReadonlyArray<string>> // string[]
type MutableTuple = Types.Mutable<readonly [string, number]> // [string, number]
type MutableRecord = Types.Mutable<{ readonly [_: string]: number }> // { [x: string]: number; }Simplifies the type signature of a type.
Signature
type Simplify<A> = { [K in keyof A]: A[K] } extends infer B ? B : never;Example
import type { Types } from "effect"
type Res = Types.Simplify<{ a: number } & { b: number }> // { a: number; b: number; }Returns the tags in a type.
Signature
type Tags<E> = E extends {
_tag: string;
}
? E["_tag"]
: never;Example
import type { Types } from "effect"
type Res = Types.Tags<string | { _tag: "a" } | { _tag: "b" }> // "a" | "b"UnionToIntersection type
A utility type that transforms a union type T into an intersection type.
Signature
type UnionToIntersection<T> = T extends any
? (x: T) => any
: never extends (x: infer R) => any
? R
: never;
