<A>(self: Iterable<A>, predicate: (a: A, i: number) => boolean): Array<A>Drops elements from the start while the predicate holds, returning the rest.
When to use
Use to remove a leading prefix of elements that satisfy a predicate.
Details
The predicate receives (element, index).
Example (Dropping while condition holds)
import { Array } from "effect"
console.log(Array.dropWhile([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], (x) => x < 4)) // [4, 5]export const const dropWhile: {
<A>(
predicate: (
a: NoInfer<A>,
i: number
) => boolean
): (self: Iterable<A>) => Array<A>
<A>(
self: Iterable<A>,
predicate: (a: A, i: number) => boolean
): Array<A>
}

position.
When to use
Use when a function parameter must match an inferred type without becoming
an inference source.
Details
The parameter using NoInfer must still match the inferred type.
Example (Controlling inference)
import type { Types } from "effect"
declare function withDefault<T>(value: T, fallback: Types.NoInfer<T>): T
// T is inferred as "a" | "b" from the first argument only
const result = withDefault<"a" | "b">("a", "b")

(pipe-friendly) style.
When to use
Use to expose one implementation through both direct and pipe-friendly
call styles.
Details
Pass either the arity of the uncurried function or a predicate that decides
whether the current call is data-first. Arity is the common case. Use a
predicate when optional arguments make arity ambiguous.
Example (Selecting data-first or data-last style by arity)
import { Function, pipe } from "effect"
const sum = Function.dual<
(that: number) => (self: number) => number,
(self: number, that: number) => number
>(2, (self, that) => self + that)
console.log(sum(2, 3)) // 5
console.log(pipe(2, sum(3))) // 5
Example (Defining overloads with call signatures)
import { Function, pipe } from "effect"
const sum: {
(that: number): (self: number) => number
(self: number, that: number): number
} = Function.dual(2, (self: number, that: number): number => self + that)
console.log(sum(2, 3)) // 5
console.log(pipe(2, sum(3))) // 5
Example (Selecting data-first or data-last style with a predicate)
import { Function, pipe } from "effect"
const sum = Function.dual<
(that: number) => (self: number) => number,
(self: number, that: number) => number
>(
(args) => args.length === 2,
(self, that) => self + that
)
console.log(sum(2, 3)) // 5
console.log(pipe(2, sum(3))) // 5

Converts an Iterable to an Array.
When to use
Use to convert any Iterable (Set, Generator, etc.) into an array.
Details
If the input is already an array, this returns it by reference without
copying. Otherwise, it creates a new array from the iterable. Use copy if
you need a fresh array even when the input is already an array.
Example (Converting a Set to an array)
import { Array } from "effect"
const result = Array.fromIterable(new Set([1, 2, 3]))
console.log(result) // [1, 2, 3]
fromIterable(self: Iterable<A>self)
let let i: numberi = 0
while (let i: numberi < const input: A[]input.Array<T>.length: numberGets or sets the length of the array. This is a number one higher than the highest index in the array.
length) {
if (!predicate: (a: A, i: number) => booleanpredicate(const input: A[]input[let i: numberi], let i: numberi)) {
break
}
let i: numberi++
}
return const input: A[]input.Array<A>.slice(start?: number, end?: number): A[]Returns a copy of a section of an array.
For both start and end, a negative index can be used to indicate an offset from the end of the array.
For example, -2 refers to the second to last element of the array.
slice(let i: numberi)
})
