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.
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)
Attaches callbacks for the resolution and/or rejection of the Promise.
@param ― onfulfilled The callback to execute when the Promise is resolved.
@param ― onrejected The callback to execute when the Promise is rejected.
@returns ― A 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(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()).
constconcat: <void, never, never>(that:Stream.Stream<void, never, never>) => <A, E, R>(self:Stream.Stream<A, E, R>) =>Stream.Stream<void|A, E, R> (+1overload)
Concatenates the specified stream with this stream, resulting in a stream
that emits the elements from this stream and then the elements from the
specified stream.
Use andThen when you need to run multiple actions in sequence, with the
second action depending on the result of the first. This is useful for
combining effects or handling computations that must happen in order.
Details
The second action can be:
A constant value (similar to
as
)
A function returning a value (similar to
map
)
A Promise
A function returning a Promise
An Effect
A function returning an Effect (similar to
flatMap
)
Note:andThen works well with both Option and Either types,
treating them as effects.
Example (Applying a Discount Based on Fetched Amount)
import { pipe, Effect } 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"))
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.

Attaches callbacks for the resolution and/or rejection of the Promise.
@param ― onfulfilled The callback to execute when the Promise is resolved.
@param ― onrejected The callback to execute when the Promise is rejected.
@returns ― A Promise for the completion of which ever callback is executed.
