# size

Get the number of nodes in the HashRing.

## Signatures

```ts
export declare const size: <A extends PrimaryKey.PrimaryKey, E, R>(ref: RefHashRing<A, E, R>) => RefSubject.Computed<number, E, R>;
```

## Why

Makes size a live projection of the hash ring; consumers can sample it now or observe it without
copying the source state.

## Ownership and lifetime

The size view retains no independent state. An Effect read samples the source once; Fx
observation follows later pushes and its observing Scope owns subscription cleanup.
