Effect Module Resource

Effect Module Resource

Owned scope

• Owns only effect/Resource.
• Source of truth: packages/effect/src/Resource.ts.

What it is for

• Module-specific APIs and usage patterns for Effect programs.

API quick reference

• get
• isResource
• auto
• manual
• refresh
• Resource
• Full API list: references/api-reference.md

How to use it

• Treat stateful APIs as synchronization boundaries and keep updates atomic.
• Use the reference docs to select the smallest API surface that solves your task.
• Validate behavior against existing tests before introducing new usage patterns.

Starter example

import { Resource } from "effect/Resource";

const value = Resource.get();

Common pitfalls

• Prefer explicit, typed combinators over ad-hoc casting or unchecked assumptions.

Not covered here

• Adjacent modules in effect/* and effect/unstable/* are out of scope for this owner.

Escalate to

• effect-skill-router for routing and ownership checks.
