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.

The value is emitted exactly once before the source run starts, then every source success or failure is delivered. Interruption or a defect in the Sink’s prepended-value handler prevents the source from starting. The operation acquires no resource and retains source failure, services, and lifetime.

Import

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

Signatures

export declare const prepend: {
    <B>(value: B): <A, E, R>(fx: Fx<A, E, R>) => Fx<B | A, E, R>;
    <A, E, R, B>(fx: Fx<A, E, R>, value: B): Fx<B | A, E, R>;
};

Why

prepend emits an initial marker through the same Sink before the source is observed, without allocating a separate collection or state holder.

Ownership and lifetime

The value is emitted exactly once before the source run starts, then every source success or failure is delivered. Interruption or a defect in the Sink’s prepended-value handler prevents the source from starting. The operation acquires no resource and retains source failure, services, and lifetime.

Examples

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

const framed = Fx.prepend(Fx.fromIterable([1, 2]), "start")
Effect.runPromise(Fx.collectAll(framed)).then(console.log)
// ["start", 1, 2]
