consttap: <string, void>(f: (a:string) =>void) => <E, R>(self:Effect.Effect<string, E, R>) =>Effect.Effect<string, E, R> (+7overloads)
Runs a side effect with the result of an effect without changing the original
value.
Details
This function 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.
When to Use
Use this function 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.
Example (Logging a step in a pipeline)
import { Console, Effect, pipe } from"effect"
// Function to apply a discount safely to a transaction amount
constapplyDiscount= (
total:number,
discountRate:number
):Effect.Effect<number, Error> =>
discountRate ===0
? Effect.fail(newError("Discount rate cannot be zero"))

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(newError('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 evalScript (node:internal/process/execution:76:60)
// at node:internal/main/eval_string:23:3
constname='Will Robinson';
console.warn(`Danger ${name}! Danger!`);
// Prints: Danger Will Robinson! Danger!, to stderr
Example using the Console class:
constout=getStreamSomehow();
consterr=getStreamSomehow();
constmyConsole=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(newError('Whoops, something bad happened'));
// Prints: [Error: Whoops, something bad happened], to err
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()).
Executes an effect synchronously, running it immediately and returning the
result.
Details
This function evaluates the provided effect synchronously, returning its
result directly. It is ideal for effects that do not fail or include
asynchronous operations. If the effect does fail or involves async tasks, it
will throw an error. Execution stops at the point of failure or asynchronous
operation, making it unsuitable for effects that require asynchronous
handling.
Important: Attempting to run effects that involve asynchronous operations
or failures will result in exceptions being thrown, so use this function with
care for purely synchronous and error-free effects.
When to Use
Use this function when:
You are sure that the effect will not fail or involve asynchronous
operations.
You need a direct, synchronous result from the effect.
You are working within a context where asynchronous effects are not
allowed.
Avoid using this function for effects that can fail or require asynchronous
handling. For such cases, consider using
runPromise
or
runSyncExit
.
Example (Synchronous Logging)
import { Effect } from"effect"
constprogram= Effect.sync(() => {
console.log("Hello, World!")
return1
})
constresult= Effect.runSync(program)
// Output: Hello, World!
console.log(result)
// Output: 1
Example (Incorrect Usage with Failing or Async Effects)
import { Effect } from"effect"
try {
// Attempt to run an effect that fails
Effect.runSync(Effect.fail("my error"))
} catch (e) {
console.error(e)
}
// Output:
// (FiberFailure) Error: my error
try {
// Attempt to run an effect that involves async work
// (FiberFailure) AsyncFiberException: Fiber #0 cannot be resolved synchronously. This is caused by using runSync on an effect that performs async work
@see ― runSyncExit for a version that returns an Exit type instead of
throwing an error.
Creates an Effect that represents an asynchronous computation that might
fail.
When to Use
In situations where you need to perform asynchronous operations that might
fail, such as fetching data from an API, you can use the tryPromise
constructor. This constructor is designed to handle operations that could
throw exceptions by capturing those exceptions and transforming them into
manageable errors.
Error Handling
There are two ways to handle errors with tryPromise:
If you don't provide a catch function, the error is caught and the
effect fails with an UnknownException.
If you provide a catch function, the error is caught and the catch
function maps it to an error of type E.
Interruptions
An optional AbortSignal can be provided to allow for interruption of the
wrapped Promise API.
Example (Fetching a TODO Item)
import { Effect } from"effect"
constgetTodo= (id:number) =>
// Will catch any errors and propagate them as UnknownException
consttap: <string, void>(f: (a:string) =>void) => <E, R>(self:Effect.Effect<string, E, R>) =>Effect.Effect<string, E, R> (+7overloads)
Runs a side effect with the result of an effect without changing the original
value.
Details
This function 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.
When to Use

Executes an effect and returns the result as a Promise.
Details
This function runs an effect and converts its result into a Promise. If the
effect succeeds, the Promise will resolve with the successful result. If
the effect fails, the Promise will reject with an error, which includes the
failure details of the effect.
The optional options parameter allows you to pass an AbortSignal for
cancellation, enabling more fine-grained control over asynchronous tasks.
When to Use
Use this function when you need to execute an effect and work with its result
in a promise-based system, such as when integrating with third-party
libraries that expect Promise results.
Example (Running a Successful Effect as a Promise)
To run any effect program to a promise, use Effect.runPromise

functionpipe<A>(a:A):A (+19overloads)
Pipes the value of an expression into a pipeline of functions.
Details
The pipe function is a utility that allows us to compose functions in a
readable and sequential manner. It takes the output of one function and
passes it as the input to the next function in the pipeline. This enables us
to build complex transformations by chaining multiple functions together.
import { pipe } from"effect"
constresult=pipe(input, func1, func2, ..., funcN)
In this syntax, input is the initial value, and func1, func2, ...,
funcN are the functions to be applied in sequence. The result of each
function becomes the input for the next function, and the final result is
returned.
Creates a scoped resource using an acquire and release effect.
Details
This function helps manage resources by combining two Effect values: one
for acquiring the resource and one for releasing it.
acquireRelease does the following:
Ensures that the effect that acquires the resource will not be
interrupted. Note that acquisition may still fail due to internal
reasons (such as an uncaught exception).
Ensures that the release effect will not be interrupted, and will be
executed as long as the acquisition effect successfully acquires the
resource.
If the acquire function succeeds, the release function is added to the
list of finalizers for the scope. This ensures that the release will happen
automatically when the scope is closed.
Both acquire and release run uninterruptibly, meaning they cannot be
interrupted while they are executing.
Additionally, the release function can be influenced by the exit value when
the scope closes, allowing for custom handling of how the resource is
released based on the execution outcome.
When to Use
This function is used to ensure that an effect that represents the
acquisition of a resource (for example, opening a file, launching a thread,
etc.) will not be interrupted, and that the resource will always be released
when the Effect completes execution.
constas: <number>(value:number) => <A, E, R>(self:Effect.Effect<A, E, R>) =>Effect.Effect<number, E, R> (+1overload)
Replaces the value inside an effect with a constant value.
Details
This function allows you to ignore the original value inside an effect and
replace it with a constant value.
When to Use
It is useful when you no longer need the value produced by an effect but want
to ensure that the effect completes successfully with a specific constant
result instead. For instance, you can replace the value produced by a
computation with a predefined value, ignoring what was calculated before.
Example (Replacing a Value)
import { pipe, Effect } from"effect"
// Replaces the value 5 with the constant "new value"
Provides a way to write effectful code using generator functions, simplifying
control flow and error handling.
When to Use
Effect.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.
Pipes the value of an expression into a pipeline of functions.

Provides necessary dependencies to an effect, removing its environmental
requirements.
Details
This function allows you to supply the required environment for an effect.
The environment can be provided in the form of one or more Layers, a
Context, a Runtime, or a ManagedRuntime. Once the environment is
provided, the effect can run without requiring external dependencies.
You can compose layers to create a modular and reusable way of setting up the
environment for effects. For example, layers can be used to configure
databases, logging services, or any other required dependencies.
construnPromise: <A, E>(effect:Effect.Effect<A, E, never>, options?: {
readonlysignal?:AbortSignal;
} |undefined) =>Promise<A>
Executes an effect and returns the result as a Promise.
Details
This function runs an effect and converts its result into a Promise. If the
effect succeeds, the Promise will resolve with the successful result. If
the effect fails, the Promise will reject with an error, which includes the

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(newError('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
constname='Will Robinson';
console.warn(`Danger ${name}! Danger!`);
// Prints: Danger Will Robinson! Danger!, to stderr
Example using the Console class:
constout=getStreamSomehow();
consterr=getStreamSomehow();
constmyConsole=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(newError('Whoops, something bad happened'));
// Prints: [Error: Whoops, something bad happened], to err
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()).

There may be times where you are working in an effect context, and have to work with non-effect apis that expect a callback inside which you want to run more effect code.
The correct pattern for this is using Effect.runtime

functionpipe<A>(a:A):A (+19overloads)
Pipes the value of an expression into a pipeline of functions.
Details
The pipe function is a utility that allows us to compose functions in a
readable and sequential manner. It takes the output of one function and
passes it as the input to the next function in the pipeline. This enables us
to build complex transformations by chaining multiple functions together.
import { pipe } from"effect"
constresult=pipe(input, func1, func2, ..., funcN)
In this syntax, input is the initial value, and func1, func2, ...,
funcN are the functions to be applied in sequence. The result of each
function becomes the input for the next function, and the final result is
returned.
Provides a way to write effectful code using generator functions, simplifying
control flow and error handling.
When to Use
Effect.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.
new <unknown>(executor: (resolve: (value:unknown) =>void, reject: (reason?:any) =>void) =>void) =>Promise<unknown>
Creates a new Promise.
@param ― executor A callback used to initialize the promise. This callback is passed two arguments:
a resolve callback used to resolve the promise with a value or the result of another promise,
and a reject callback used to reject the promise with a provided reason or error.
@param ― timeout milliseconds to wait between calls
setTimeout(
res: (value:unknown) =>void
res, 1000));

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

Example using the global console:
console.log('hello world');
// Prints: hello world, to stdout
console.log('hello %s', 'world');
// Prints: hello world, to stdout

Creates an Effect that represents an asynchronous computation guaranteed to
succeed.
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.
When to Use
Use this function when you are sure the operation will not reject.

constprovide: <FooService, never, never>(layer:Layer.Layer<FooService, never, never>) => <A, E, R>(self:Effect.Effect<A, E, R>) =>Effect.Effect<A, E, Exclude<...>> (+9overloads)
Provides necessary dependencies to an effect, removing its environmental
requirements.
Details
This function allows you to supply the required environment for an effect.
The environment can be provided in the form of one or more Layers, a
Context, a Runtime, or a ManagedRuntime. Once the environment is
provided, the effect can run without requiring external dependencies.
You can compose layers to create a modular and reusable way of setting up the
environment for effects. For example, layers can be used to configure
databases, logging services, or any other required dependencies.
construnPromise: <A, E>(effect:Effect.Effect<A, E, never>, options?: {
readonlysignal?:AbortSignal;
} |undefined) =>Promise<A>
Executes an effect and returns the result as a Promise.
Details
This function runs an effect and converts its result into a Promise. If the
effect succeeds, the Promise will resolve with the successful result. If
the effect fails, the Promise will reject with an error, which includes the
failure details of the effect.
The optional options parameter allows you to pass an AbortSignal for
cancellation, enabling more fine-grained control over asynchronous tasks.
When to Use
Use this function when you need to execute an effect and work with its result
in a promise-based system, such as when integrating with third-party
libraries that expect Promise results.
