Task overview

interface Task<A> {
  (): Promise<A>
}

Task<A> represents an asynchronous computation that yields a value of type A and never fails. If you want to represent an asynchronous computation that may fail, please see TaskEither.

of

Signature

export declare const of: <A>(a: A) => Task<A>

Added in v2.0.0

Apply

ap

Apply a function to an argument under a type constructor.

Signature

export declare const ap: <A>(fa: Task<A>) => <B>(fab: Task<(a: A) => B>) => Task<B>

Added in v2.0.0

apFirst

Combine two effectful actions, keeping only the result of the first.

Signature

export declare const apFirst: <B>(fb: Task<B>) => <A>(fa: Task<A>) => Task<A>

Added in v2.0.0

apSecond

Functor

map

map can be used to turn functions (a: A) => B into functions (fa: F<A>) => F<B> whose argument and return types use the type constructor F to represent some computational context.

Signature

export declare const map: <A, B>(f: (a: A) => B) => (fa: Task<A>) => Task<B>

Added in v2.0.0

Monad

chain

Composes computations in sequence, using the return value of one computation to determine the next computation.

Signature

export declare const chain: <A, B>(f: (a: A) => Task<B>) => (ma: Task<A>) => Task<B>

Added in v2.0.0

chainFirst

Composes computations in sequence, using the return value of one computation to determine the next computation and keeping only the result of the first.

Signature

    })
  const fa = append('a')
  const fb = append('b')
  const fc = T.delay(10)(append('c'))
  const fd = append('d')
  await sequenceT(T.task)(fa, fb, fc, fd)()
