Follow one execution
The observation Effect finishes before its original payload is forwarded. Concurrent producers can overlap callback Effects; these rows assume serial delivery.
tapTick 0. Input: 1; Callback: start.

Follow each lane from left to right. Events stacked vertically share a tick; the green cursor marks the current time across every lane.
- A value
The text inside the pill is the emitted value. - Work starts
The raised chevron starts an inner run (^in the source). - The run returns
The vertical bar ends this lane’s run. - A cause is delivered
The exclamation mark belongs to this lane. - Work is interrupted
The cross marks cancellation of this run. - Current time
The line and diamond move together across all lanes. - Happening now
A highlighted event is at the current tick. - Still ahead
Muted, dashed values have not happened yet. - Time continues
The lane’s arrow is not a return marker. An empty stretch can be quiet work that is still running.
Illustrated ticks start at 0. At 1×, one illustrated tick takes one second; captions specify real durations when timing matters. A cause or interruption belongs to its lane, and other work may continue. Scroll horizontally to inspect the rest of a long timeline.
Returned Effects run in the consumer path and are interrupted with it; a void callback is treated as Effect.void. Callback failures and services remain visible in the result type.
Import
import { Fx } from "@typed/fx";Access Fx.tap through the imported Fx export. Its declaration below describes the member.
This public exposure is a re-export. Its import path is supported; declaration documentation is shared with the other public exposures below.
Signatures
export declare const tap: {
<A, E2 = never, R2 = never>(f: (a: A) => void | Effect.Effect<unknown, E2, R2>): <E, R>(self: Fx<A, E | E2, R>) => Fx<A, E | E2, R | R2>;
<A, E, R, E2 = never, R2 = never>(self: Fx<A, E | E2, R>, f: (a: A) => void | Effect.Effect<unknown, E2, R2>): Fx<A, E | E2, R | R2>;
};Why
tap sequences an observation or side effect before forwarding each original value. It emits
exactly once per successful callback, in source order; callback failure prevents that value.
Ownership and lifetime
Returned Effects run in the consumer path and are interrupted with it; a void callback is
treated as Effect.void. Callback failures and services remain visible in the result type.
Examples
import { Effect } from "effect"
import { Fx } from "@typed/fx"
const logged = Fx.fromIterable([1, 2]).pipe(Fx.tap((n) => Effect.log(n)))Other public imports
These import paths expose the same declaration. Each page retains its own public name and signature.
