Effect
Effect is a library for building robust, maintainable, type-safe, and production grade applications in TypeScript. It helps you handle the hard problems at scale: typed errors, dependency injection, structured concurrency, scheduling, tracing, and unified schema validation.
Effect V4 is currently a release candidate. The main branch contains v4 development.
Install V4 RC
npm install effect@rcRequirements
- TypeScript 5.9 or newer. TypeScript 7 is recommended for the best performance and compatibility with Effect's TypeScript tooling.
- Node.js 18 or newer is the general minimum for running Effect on Node.js. Some integration packages require newer runtimes; for example, @effect/sql-sqlite-node requires Node.js 22.16 or newer.
- Strict type-checking: the strict flag must be enabled in your tsconfig.json.
Effect v3
The Effect v3 source code is available on the v3 branch, which is also where issues and pull requests meant for Effect v3 should be targeted.
Packages
This monorepo contains the core effect package alongside integration packages that extend it. All v4 packages are published under the rc tag on npm.
