An ecosystem of tools to build robust applications in TypeScript
Welcome to Effect, a powerful TypeScript framework that provides a fully-fledged functional effect system with a rich standard library.
Effect consists of several packages that work together to help build robust TypeScript applications. The core package, effect, serves as the foundation of the framework, offering primitives for managing side effects, ensuring type safety, and supporting concurrency.
The Effect monorepo is organized into multiple packages, each extending the core functionality. Below is an overview of the packages included:
