(self: TxSemaphore, n: number): Effect.Effect<void>Acquires the specified number of permits from the semaphore.
When to use
Use to manually acquire multiple permits transactionally, waiting until all requested permits are available.
Details
If fewer than n permits are available, the transaction retries until enough
permits are released.
Gotchas
Passing a non-positive n dies with a defect. Passing a value greater than
the semaphore capacity can wait forever because the capacity is fixed.
Example (Acquiring multiple permits)
import { Console, Effect, TxSemaphore } from "effect"
const program = Effect.gen(function*() {
const semaphore = yield* TxSemaphore.make(5)
yield* Console.log("Acquiring 3 permits...")
yield* TxSemaphore.acquireN(semaphore, 3)
yield* Console.log("3 permits acquired")
const available = yield* TxSemaphore.available(semaphore)
yield* Console.log(`Available permits: ${available}`) // 2
})export const const acquireN: (

n: numbern: number): import EffectEffect.interface Effect<out A, out E = never, out R = never>The Effect interface defines a value that lazily describes a workflow or
job. The workflow requires some context R, and may fail with an error of
type E, or succeed with a value of type A.
When to use
Use when you need to represent a lazy, composable workflow that can require
services, fail with a typed error, or succeed with a typed value.
Details
Effect values model resourceful interaction with the outside world,
including synchronous, asynchronous, concurrent, and parallel interaction.
They use a fiber-based concurrency model, with built-in support for
scheduling, fine-grained interruption, structured concurrency, and high
scalability.
To run an Effect value, you need a Runtime, which is a type that is
capable of executing Effect values.
Effect<void> => {
if (n: numbern <= 0) {
return import EffectEffect.const die: (
defect: unknown
) => Effect<never>
Creates an effect that terminates a fiber with a specified error.
When to use
Use when you need an Effect to report an unrecoverable defect instead of a
typed error.
Details
The die function is used to signal a defect, which represents a critical
and unexpected error in the code. When invoked, it produces an effect that
does not handle the error and instead terminates the fiber.
The error channel of the resulting effect is of type never, indicating that
it cannot recover from this failure.
Example (Failing on division by zero)
import { Effect } from "effect"
const divide = (a: number, b: number) =>
b === 0
? Effect.die(new Error("Cannot divide by zero"))
: Effect.succeed(a / b)
// ┌─── Effect<number, never, never>
// ▼
const program = divide(1, 0)
Effect.runPromise(program).catch(console.error)
// Output:
// (FiberFailure) Error: Cannot divide by zero
// ...stack trace...

Reads the current value of the TxRef.

Use to read the current value of a TxRef.

Retries the current transaction by signaling that it must be retried.
Details
NOTE: the transaction retries on any change to transactional values (i.e. TxRef) accessed in its body.
Example (Retrying transactions)
import { Effect, TxRef } from "effect"
const program = Effect.gen(function*() {
// create a transactional reference
const ref = yield* TxRef.make(0)
// forks a fiber that increases the value of `ref` every 100 millis
yield* Effect.forkChild(Effect.forever(
// update to transactional value
Effect.tx(TxRef.update(ref, (n) => n + 1)).pipe(Effect.delay("100 millis"))
))
// the following will retry 10 times until the `ref` value is 10
yield* Effect.tx(Effect.gen(function*() {
const value = yield* TxRef.get(ref)
if (value < 10) {
yield* Effect.log(`retry due to value: ${value}`)

) => Effect<A, E, Exclude<R, Transaction>>
Defines a transaction boundary. Transactions are "all or nothing" with respect to changes
made to transactional values (i.e. TxRef) that occur within the transaction body.
Details
If called inside an active transaction, tx composes with the current transaction and reuses
its journal and retry state instead of creating a nested boundary.
Effect transactions are optimistic with retry. A transaction is retried when
its body explicitly calls Effect.txRetry and any accessed transactional
value changes, or when any accessed transactional value changes because a
different transaction commits before the current one.
The outermost tx call creates the transaction boundary and commits or rolls back the full
composed transaction.
Example (Running a transaction)
import { Effect, TxRef } from "effect"
const program = Effect.gen(function*() {
const ref1 = yield* TxRef.make(0)
const ref2 = yield* TxRef.make(0)
// Nested tx calls compose into the same transaction
yield* Effect.tx(Effect.gen(function*() {
yield* TxRef.set(ref1, 10)
yield* Effect.tx(TxRef.set(ref2, 20))
const sum = (yield* TxRef.get(ref1)) + (yield* TxRef.get(ref2))
console.log(`Transaction sum: ${sum}`)
}))
console.log(`Final ref1: ${yield* TxRef.get(ref1)}`) // 10
console.log(`Final ref2: ${yield* TxRef.get(ref2)}`) // 20
})
tx)
}
