Represents an equivalence relation over type A.
When to use
Use as a type annotation when you accept or return an equivalence function.
Details
- Returns
boolean: true if values are equivalent, false otherwise
- Must satisfy reflexive, symmetric, and transitive properties
Example (Defining simple number equivalence)
import type { Equivalence } from "effect"
const numberEq: Equivalence.Equivalence<number> = (a, b) => a === b
console.log(numberEq(1, 1)) // true
console.log(numberEq(1, 2)) // false
Example (Defining custom object equivalence)
import type { Equivalence } from "effect"

x: number
y: number
}
const pointEq: Equivalence.Equivalence<Point> = (a, b) =>
a.x === b.x && a.y === b.y

Equivalence<type Result<A, E = never> = Success<A, E> | Failure<A, E>A value that is either Success<A, E> or Failure<A, E>.
When to use
Use when both success and failure should remain available as data and
Option would lose failure information.
Details
- Use
succeed
/
fail
to construct
- Use
match
to fold both branches
- Use
isSuccess
/
isFailure
to narrow the type
E defaults to never, so Result<number> means a result that cannot fail.
Example (Creating and matching a Result)
import { Result } from "effect"
const success = Result.succeed(42)
const failure = Result.fail("something went wrong")
const message = Result.match(success, {
onSuccess: (value) => `Success: ${value}`,
onFailure: (error) => `Error: ${error}`
})
console.log(message)
// Output: "Success: 42"
Namespace containing type-level utilities for extracting the inner types
of a Result.
Example (Extracting inner types)
import type { Result } from "effect"
type R = Result.Result<number, string>
// number
type A = Result.Result.Success<R>
// string
type E = Result.Result.Failure<R>

import EquivalenceEquivalence.const make: <A>(
isEquivalent: (self: A, that: A) => boolean
) => Equivalence<A>
Creates a custom equivalence relation with an optimized reference equality check.
When to use
Use when you need an equality rule that the built-in instances and input
mapping helpers cannot express, and you can provide a law-abiding comparison.
Details
The returned equivalence first checks reference equality (===) for
performance. If the values are not the same reference, it falls back to the
provided equivalence function, which must satisfy reflexive, symmetric, and
transitive properties.
Example (Case-insensitive string equivalence)
import { Equivalence } from "effect"
const caseInsensitive = Equivalence.make<string>((a, b) =>
a.toLowerCase() === b.toLowerCase()
)
console.log(caseInsensitive("Hello", "HELLO")) // true
console.log(caseInsensitive("foo", "bar")) // false
// Same reference optimization
const str = "test"
console.log(caseInsensitive(str, str)) // true (fast path)
Example (Comparing numbers with tolerance)
import { Equivalence } from "effect"
const tolerance = Equivalence.make<number>((a, b) => Math.abs(a - b) < 0.0001)
console.log(tolerance(1.0, 1.001)) // false
console.log(tolerance(1.0, 1.00001)) // true
make((x: Result<A, E>x, y: Result<A, E>y) =>
const isFailure: <A, E>(
self: Result<A, E>
) => self is Failure<A, E>
Checks whether a Result is a Failure.
When to use
Use to narrow a known Result to the Failure variant.
Details
- Acts as a TypeScript type guard, narrowing to
Failure<A, E>
- After narrowing, you can access
.failure to read the error value
Example (Narrowing to failure)
import { Result } from "effect"
const result = Result.fail("oops")
if (Result.isFailure(result)) {
console.log(result.failure)
// Output: "oops"
}
isFailure(x: Result<A, E>x) ?
const isFailure: <A, E>(
self: Result<A, E>
