variable / @typed/fx/Fx

changesWithEffect

Drops consecutive elements that are considered equal by an effectful predicate. When the effect returns true, the element is skipped; when false, it is emitted.

This is the effectful variant of skipRepeatsWith: instead of a pure Equivalence<A>, you supply (prev, next) => Effect<boolean> where true means “equal” (skip) and false means “changed” (emit).

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.

One previous value and a semaphore are scoped to each run. Comparison effects are serialized, interrupted with the run, and add their failures and services to the resulting Fx.

Import

import { changesWithEffect } from "@typed/fx/Fx";

Signatures

export declare const changesWithEffect: {
    <A, E2, R2>(f: (prev: A, next: A) => Effect.Effect<boolean, E2, R2>): <E, R>(fx: Fx<A, E | E2, R>) => Fx<A, E | E2, R | R2>;
    <A, E, R, E2, R2>(fx: Fx<A, E | E2, R>, f: (prev: A, next: A) => Effect.Effect<boolean, E2, R2>): Fx<A, E | E2, R | R2>;
};

Why

changesWithEffect supports service-backed or failing equivalence checks. The first value always emits; every later value is compared with the last emitted value and emits only when the effect returns false, preserving source order.

Ownership and lifetime

One previous value and a semaphore are scoped to each run. Comparison effects are serialized, interrupted with the run, and add their failures and services to the resulting Fx.

Examples

import { Effect } from "effect"
import { Fx } from "@typed/fx"

const changes = Fx.fromIterable([1, 1, 2]).pipe(
  Fx.changesWithEffect((previous, next) => Effect.succeed(previous === next)),
)
