# Algebraic Effects
Manage your effects in a pure and composible way using algebraic effects with multiple continuations. [https://phenax.github.io/algebraic-effects](https://phenax.github.io/algebraic-effects)

## Install

### To add the project to your project
```bash
yarn add @algebraic-effects/core
```

If you want effects like Exception, State, Random, etc.
```bash
yarn add @algebraic-effects/core @algebraic-effects/effects
```

## Usage

### Import it to your file
```js
import { createEffect, func } from '@algebraic-effects/core';
import { sleep } from '@algebraic-effects/core/generic';
```

### State effect counter example

```js
import { State } from '@algebraic-effects/effects';
import { call, sleep } from '@algebraic-effects/core/generic';

const countdown = function*() {
const count = yield State.get();

if(count > 0) {
yield State.set(count - 1); // Decrement count
yield sleep(1000); // Add a delay of 1 second
yield call(countdown); // Recursively call the program again.
}
}

State.of(10)(countdown)
.fork(() => {}, () => alert('HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!'));
```

### Creating your own effects

* Declare your effects
```js
import { createEffect, func } from '@algebraic-effects/core';

export const ConsoleEffect = createEffect('ConsoleEffect', {
log: func(['...data']),
});

export const ApiEffect = createEffect('ApiEffect', {
fetchUser: func(['userid'], 'user'),
markUserAsViewed: func(['userid']),
});
```
`func` function allows you to document the operation signature.

* Write your program
```js
const fetchProfile = function*(uid) {
const user = yield ApiEffect.fetchUser(uid);

yield ConsoleEffect.log('>> Fetched user user', uid);

if(user.isPublic) {
yield ApiEffect.markUserAsViewed(user.id);
yield ConsoleEffect.log('>> Marked', uid, 'as viewed');
return user;
}

return { id: uid, name: user.name, isPrivate: true };
}
```

* Implement effect operation behavior
```js
const logger = ConsoleEffect.handler({
log: ({ resume }) => (...args) => {
console.log(...args);
resume();
},
});

const api = ApiEffect.handler({
markUserAsViewed: ({ resume, throwError }) =>
uid => fetchJson(`/user/${uid}/mark-as-viewed`).then(resume).catch(throwError),
fetchUser: ({ promise }) => uid => promise(fetchJson(`/user/${uid}`)),
});
```
`promise` is a shorthand for doing `.then(resume).catch(throwError)`

* Calling your program
```js
api.with(logger) // Compose your effect handlers together and run them
.run(fetchProfile)
.fork(
e => { /* Handle error */ },
user => { /* Handle success */ }
)
```

### Multiple continuations
You can call resume multiple times from your operation synchronously.

```js
function flipCoins() {
const isHead1 = yield Random.flipCoin(2);
const isHead2 = yield Random.flipCoin(2);
return [isHead1 ? 'H' : 'T', isHead2 ? 'H' : 'T'];
}

// // runMulti method will start your program in multiple continuations mode
Random.seed(10)
.runMulti(flipCoins)
.fork(identity, data => {
console.log(data); // Probably [[H, T], [H, T], [T, H], [T, T]]
});
```

##### Writing custom effect with multiple continuations

```js
const ListEffect = createEffect('ListEffect', {
takeItem: func(['list'], '*', { isMulti: true }), // isMulti flag indicates that this operation resumes multiple times
});

// Program will resolve with [3, 4, 6, 7]
function *program() {
const item1 = yield ListEffect.takeItem([ 1, 4 ]);
const item2 = yield ListEffect.takeItem([ 2, 3 ]);

return item1 + item2;
}

const looper = ListEffect.handler({
takeItem: ({ resume }) => list => list.forEach(resume),
});

// runMulti method will start your program in multiple continuations mode
looper.runMulti(program).fork(
handleError,
data => {
console.log(data); // [3, 4, 6, 7]
}
);
```
