readonly formatter?: Formatter<T> | undefinedformatter?: interface Formatter<in Value, out Format = string>A callable interface representing a function that converts a Value into a Format, which defaults to string.
When to use
Use when you want to type a formatting or rendering function generically, or when you are building a pipeline that accepts pluggable formatters.
Details
This is a pure callable type and carries no runtime implementation. It is contravariant in Value and covariant in Format.
Example (Defining a custom formatter)
import type { Formatter } from "effect"
const upper: Formatter.Formatter<string> = (s) => s.toUpperCase()
console.log(upper("hello"))
// HELLO

}): string
Converts any JavaScript value into a human-readable string.
When to use
Use when you need to format arbitrary JavaScript values for debugging,
logging, or error messages.
Details
- Output is not valid JSON; use
formatJson
when you need
parseable JSON.
- Handles
BigInt, Symbol, Set, Map, Date, RegExp, and class
instances that JSON.stringify cannot represent.
- Circular references are shown as
"[Circular]" instead of throwing.
- Primitives: stringified naturally (
null, undefined, 123, true).
Strings are JSON-quoted.
- Objects with a custom
toString (not Object.prototype.toString):
toString() is called unless ignoreToString is true.
- Errors with a
cause: formatted as "<message> (cause: <cause>)".
- Iterables (
Set, Map, etc.): formatted as
ClassName([...elements]).
- Class instances: wrapped as
ClassName({...}).
Redactable values are automatically redacted.
- Arrays/objects with 0–1 entries are inline; larger ones are
pretty-printed when
space is set.
space — indentation unit (number of spaces, or a string like
"\t"). Defaults to 0 (compact).
ignoreToString — skip calling toString(). Defaults to false.
Example (Formatting compact output)
import { Formatter } from "effect"
console.log(Formatter.format({ a: 1, b: [2, 3] }))
// {"a":1,"b":[2,3]}
Example (Pretty-printed output)
import { Formatter } from "effect"
console.log(Formatter.format({ a: 1, b: [2, 3] }, { space: 2 }))
// {
// "a": 1,
// "b": [
// 2,
// 3
// ]
// }
Example (Handling circular references)
import { Formatter } from "effect"
const obj: any = { name: "loop" }
obj.self = obj
console.log(Formatter.format(obj))
// {"name":"loop","self":[Circular]}

filter: (
input: T,
ast: SchemaAST.AST,
options: SchemaAST.ParseOptions
) => FilterOutput,
annotations?: Annotations.Filter | undefined,
abort?: boolean
) => SchemaAST.Filter<T>
Creates a custom validation filter from a predicate function.
Details
The predicate receives the decoded input value, the schema AST, and parse
options, and returns a FilterOutput. Non-success outputs are normalized into
schema issues. The annotations parameter annotates the filter itself; with
the default formatter, failures use message first, expected second, and
<filter> when neither is provided.
When abort is true, parsing stops after this filter fails instead of
collecting later check failures.
Example (Reporting failure at a nested path)
import { Schema } from "effect"
const schema = Schema.Struct({ password: Schema.String, confirmPassword: Schema.String }).check(
Schema.makeFilter((o) =>
o.password === o.confirmPassword
? undefined
: { path: ["password"], issue: "password and confirmPassword must match" }
)
)
console.log(String(Schema.decodeUnknownExit(schema)({ password: "123456", confirmPassword: "1234567" })))
// Failure(Cause([Fail(SchemaError: password and confirmPassword must match
// at ["password"])]))
Example (Reporting multiple failures at once)
import { Schema } from "effect"
const schema = Schema.Struct({ a: Schema.Finite, b: Schema.Finite, c: Schema.Finite }).check(
Schema.makeFilter((o) => {
const issues: Array<Schema.FilterIssue> = []
if (o.a > 0) {
if (o.b <= 0) issues.push({ path: ["b"], issue: "b must be greater than 0" })
if (o.c <= 0) issues.push({ path: ["c"], issue: "c must be greater than 0" })
}
return issues
})
)
console.log(String(Schema.decodeUnknownExit(schema)({ a: 1, b: 0, c: 0 })))
// Failure(Cause([Fail(SchemaError: b must be greater than 0
// at ["b"]
// c must be greater than 0

Details

Expected <expected>, got <actual>.
