LayerMap unstable

Caches scoped services selected by key and built from layers.

A LayerMap<K, I, E> turns a key into a cached service Context<I> and exposes that context as either a Layer or a scoped effect. Entries can be invalidated explicitly or released after they sit unused. This is useful for keyed resource families such as tenant clients, regional connections, or environment-specific services.

fromRecord

unstable
Since v3.14.0

Creates a LayerMap from a record of predefined layers.

Details

The record keys become the keys accepted by the returned LayerMap, and the record values are the layers built for those keys.

Signature

declare function fromRecord<Layers extends Record<string, Layer<any, any, any>>, Preload extends boolean = false>(layers: Layers, options?: {
  readonly idleTimeToLive?: IdleTimeToLiveInput<keyof Layers>;
  readonly preload?: Preload;
}): Effect<LayerMap<keyof Layers, Success<Layers[keyof Layers]>, Error<Layers[keyof Layers]>>, Preload extends true ? Error<Layers[keyof Layers]> : never, Scope | Layers[keyof Layers] extends Layer<_A, _E, _R> ? _R : never>

Example Creating a layer map from a record 

import { Context, Effect, Layer, LayerMap } from "effect"


// Define a service key
const Database = Context.Service<{
  readonly query: (sql: string) => Effect.Effect<string>
}>("Database")


// Create predefined layers
const layers = {
  development: Layer.succeed(Database)({
    query: Effect.fn("DevDatabase.query")((sql) => Effect.succeed(`DEV: ${sql}`))
  }),
  production: Layer.succeed(Database)({
    query: Effect.fn("ProdDatabase.query")((sql) => Effect.succeed(`PROD: ${sql}`))
  })
} as const


// Create a LayerMap from the record
const program = Effect.gen(function*() {
  const layerMap = yield* LayerMap.fromRecord(layers, {
    idleTimeToLive: "10 seconds"
  })


  const development = yield* Effect.provide(
    Database.use((database) => database.query("SELECT 1")),
    layerMap.get("development")
  )
  const production = yield* Effect.provide(
    Database.use((database) => database.query("SELECT 1")),
    layerMap.get("production")
  )


  return { development, production }
})


await Effect.runPromise(Effect.scoped(program)) // => { development: "DEV: SELECT 1", production: "PROD: SELECT 1" }

make

unstable
Since v3.14.0

Creates a LayerMap that dynamically provides resources based on a key.

Signature

declare const make: <K, L extends Layer.Layer<any, any, any>, PreloadKeys extends Iterable<K> | undefined = undefined>(lookup: (key: K) => L, options?: {
  readonly idleTimeToLive?: IdleTimeToLiveInput<K>;
  readonly preloadKeys?: PreloadKeys;
}) => Effect.Effect<LayerMap<K, Layer.Success<L>, Layer.Error<L>>, PreloadKeys extends undefined ? never : Layer.Error<L>, Scope.Scope | Layer.Services<L>>

Example Creating a layer map 

import { Context, Effect, Layer, LayerMap } from "effect"


// Define a service key
const DatabaseService = Context.Service<{
  readonly query: (sql: string) => Effect.Effect<string>
}>("Database")


// Create a LayerMap that provides different database configurations
const program = Effect.gen(function*() {
  const layerMap = yield* LayerMap.make(
    (env: string) =>
      Layer.succeed(DatabaseService)({
        query: Effect.fn("DatabaseService.query")((sql) => Effect.succeed(`${env}: ${sql}`))
      }),
    { idleTimeToLive: "5 seconds" }
  )


  // Get a layer for a specific environment
  const devLayer = layerMap.get("development")


  // Use the layer to provide the service
  return yield* Effect.provide(
    Effect.gen(function*() {
      const db = yield* DatabaseService
      return yield* db.query("SELECT * FROM users")
    }),
    devLayer
  )
})


await Effect.runPromise(Effect.scoped(program)) // => "development: SELECT * FROM users"

Models

LayerMap

interface unstable
Since v3.14.0

A scoped, keyed map of layer-built service contexts.

Details

A LayerMap builds resources for a key on demand, exposes them as a Layer or scoped Context, and can invalidate cached resources for a key.

Signature

interface LayerMap<in out K, in out I, in out E = never> {
  readonly "~effect/LayerMap": "~effect/LayerMap";
  readonly rcMap: RcMap<K, Context<I>, E>;
  contextEffect(key: K): Effect<Context<I>, E, Scope>;
  contextEffectOption(key: K): Effect<Option<Context<I>>, E, Scope>;
  get(key: K): Layer<I, E>;
  invalidate(key: K): Effect<void>;
}

Example Managing keyed layers 

import { Context, Effect, Layer, LayerMap } from "effect"


// Define a service key
const DatabaseService = Context.Service<{
  readonly query: (sql: string) => Effect.Effect<string>
}>("Database")


// Create a LayerMap that provides different database configurations
const createDatabaseLayerMap = LayerMap.make((env: string) =>
  Layer.succeed(DatabaseService)({
    query: Effect.fn("DatabaseService.query")((sql) => Effect.succeed(`${env}: ${sql}`))
  })
)


// Use the LayerMap
const program = Effect.gen(function*() {
  const layerMap = yield* createDatabaseLayerMap


  // Get a layer for a specific environment
  const development = yield* Effect.provide(
    DatabaseService.use((database) => database.query("SELECT 1")),
    layerMap.get("development")
  )


  // Get context directly
  const productionContext = yield* layerMap.contextEffect("production")
  const production = yield* Context.get(productionContext, DatabaseService).query("SELECT 1")


  // Invalidate a cached layer
  yield* layerMap.invalidate("development")


  return { development, production }
})


await Effect.runPromise(Effect.scoped(program)) // => { development: "development: SELECT 1", production: "production: SELECT 1" }

Example Defining a layer map service 

import { Context, Effect, Layer, LayerMap } from "effect"


// Define a service key
const Greeter = Context.Service<{
  readonly greet: Effect.Effect<string>
}>("Greeter")


// Create a service that wraps a LayerMap
class GreeterMap extends LayerMap.Service<GreeterMap>()("GreeterMap", {
  // Define the lookup function for the layer map
  lookup: (name: string) =>
    Layer.succeed(Greeter)({
      greet: Effect.succeed(`Hello, ${name}!`)
    }),


  // If a layer is not used for a certain amount of time, it can be removed
  idleTimeToLive: "5 seconds"
}) {}


// Usage
const program = Effect.gen(function*() {
  // Access and use the Greeter service
  const greeter = yield* Greeter
  return yield* greeter.greet
}).pipe(
  // Use the GreeterMap service to provide a variant of the Greeter service
  Effect.provide(GreeterMap.get("John"))
).pipe(
  // Provide the GreeterMap layer
  Effect.provide(GreeterMap.layer)
)


await Effect.runPromise(program) // => "Hello, John!"

TagClass

interface unstable
Since v3.14.0

Service class shape produced by LayerMap.Service.

When to use

Use as the public type for classes returned by LayerMap.Service when an API needs to accept, return, or alias the generated service class and its static helpers.

Details

It combines a Context.Service tag for the LayerMap with default layers and helper accessors for retrieving, using, and invalidating keyed resources.

  • Service for creating concrete LayerMap service classes
