Record

Works with plain JavaScript records as immutable key/value dictionaries.

A record is an object whose keys are strings or symbols. This module includes helpers for construction, lookup, updates, mapping, filtering, folding, set-like combination, and typed conversions between records and iterable entries. Helpers that change values return new records instead of mutating the input.

Combining

difference

Added in v2.0.0 Source

Merges two records, preserving only the entries that are unique to each record. Keys that exist in both records are excluded from the result.

Signature

declare const difference: {
  <K1 extends string, B>(
    that: ReadonlyRecord<K1, B>,
  ): <K0 extends string, A>(self: ReadonlyRecord<K0, A>) => Record<K0 | K1, A | B>;
  <K0 extends string, A, K1 extends string, B>(
    self: ReadonlyRecord<K0, A>,
    that: ReadonlyRecord<K1, B>,
  ): Record<K0 | K1, A | B>;
};

intersection

Added in v2.0.0 Source

Merges two records, retaining only the entries that exist in both records. For intersecting keys, the provided combine function is used to merge the values.

Signature

declare const intersection: {
  <K1 extends string, A, B, C>(
    that: ReadonlyRecord<K1, B>,
    combine: (selfValue: A, thatValue: B) => C,
  ): <K0 extends string>(
    self: ReadonlyRecord<K0, A>,
  ) => Record<ReadonlyRecord.IntersectKeys<K0, K1>, C>;
  <K0 extends string, A, K1 extends string, B, C>(
    self: ReadonlyRecord<K0, A>,
    that: ReadonlyRecord<K1, B>,
    combine: (selfValue: A, thatValue: B) => C,
  ): Record<ReadonlyRecord.IntersectKeys<K0, K1>, C>;
};

Creates a Reducer whose combine operation intersects two records and combines values for keys present in both records.

When to use

Use to build a Reducer that combines records by retaining only keys shared by both inputs and combining matching values with a Combiner.

Gotchas

The reducer's initialValue is an empty record. Because intersection with an empty record is empty, the default combineAll folds from {} and therefore produces {} for ordinary non-empty inputs.

See

  • makeReducerUnion for a reducer that preserves keys from either input record
  • intersection for applying the shared-key merge to one pair of records

Signature

declare function makeReducerIntersection<K extends string, A>(
  combiner: Combiner<A>,
): Reducer<Record<K, A>>;

Creates a Reducer for combining Records using union, with values for keys that exist in both records combined using the provided Combiner.

When to use

Use to build a reusable reducer for accumulating many records into one union-shaped record, preserving keys from every input and combining overlapping values with the supplied combiner.

Details

The returned reducer uses Record.union for combine and an empty record as initialValue, so the default combineAll folds from {} and accumulates keys from each input record.

See

  • union for one-off record merging with the same union semantics
  • makeReducerIntersection for a reducer that keeps only keys present on both sides

Signature

declare function makeReducerUnion<K extends string, A>(
  combiner: Combiner<A>,
): Reducer<Record<K, A>>;

union

Added in v2.0.0 Source

Merges two records, preserving entries that exist in either of the records. For keys that exist in both records, the provided combine function is used to merge the values.

Signature

declare const union: {
  <K1 extends string, A, B, C>(
    that: ReadonlyRecord<K1, B>,
    combine: (selfValue: A, thatValue: B) => C,
  ): <K0 extends string>(self: ReadonlyRecord<K0, A>) => Record<K0 | K1, A | B | C>;
  <K0 extends string, A, K1 extends string, B, C>(
    self: ReadonlyRecord<K0, A>,
    that: ReadonlyRecord<K1, B>,
    combine: (selfValue: A, thatValue: B) => C,
  ): Record<K0 | K1, A | B | C>;
};

Constructors

empty

Added in v2.0.0 Source

Creates a new, empty record.

Signature

declare function empty<K extends string | symbol = never, V = never>(): Record<
  ReadonlyRecord.NonLiteralKey<K>,
  V
>;

fromEntries

Added in v2.0.0 Source

Builds a record from an iterable of key-value pairs.

Details

If there are conflicting keys when using fromEntries, the last occurrence of the key/value pair will overwrite the previous ones. So the resulting record will only have the value of the last occurrence of each key.

Signature

declare const fromEntries: <Entry extends readonly [string | symbol, any]>(
  entries: Iterable<Entry>,
) => Record<ReadonlyRecord.NonLiteralKey<Entry[0]>, Entry[1]>;

Creates a new record from an iterable, utilizing the provided function to determine the key for each element.

Signature

declare const fromIterableBy: {
  <A, K extends string | symbol>(
    f: (a: A) => K,
  ): (items: Iterable<A>) => Record<ReadonlyRecord.NonLiteralKey<K>, A>;
  <A, K extends string | symbol>(
    items: Iterable<A>,
    f: (a: A) => K,
  ): Record<ReadonlyRecord.NonLiteralKey<K>, A>;
};

Takes an iterable and a projection function and returns a record. The projection function maps each value of the iterable to a tuple of a key and a value, which is then added to the resulting record.

Signature

declare const fromIterableWith: {
  <A, K extends string | symbol, B>(
    f: (a: A) => readonly [K, B],
  ): (self: Iterable<A>) => Record<ReadonlyRecord.NonLiteralKey<K>, B>;
  <A, K extends string | symbol, B>(

    f: (a: A) => readonly [K, B],
  ): Record<ReadonlyRecord.NonLiteralKey<K>, B>;
};

  <K extends string, A>(
    predicate: (A: NoInfer<A>, key: K) => boolean,

  ): (self: ReadonlyRecord<K, A>) => Record<K2, B>;

Models

ReadonlyRecord type

Added in v2.0.0 Source

Represents a readonly record with keys of type K and values of type A. This is the foundational type for immutable key-value mappings in Effect.

Signature

type ReadonlyRecord<in out K extends string | symbol, out A> = { [P in K]: A };

Mutations

Mutates a record by assigning a value to a property.

When to use

Use when incrementally constructing a new record and copying it for every property would be unnecessary.

Gotchas

This function mutates self. When key is "__proto__", it creates an own data property instead of changing the object's prototype.

See

  • set for an immutable update

Signature

declare const assignProperty: (self: object, key: PropertyKey, value: unknown) => void;

modify

    key: NoInfer<K>,
    f: (a: A) => B,
  ): (self: ReadonlyRecord<K, A>) => Option<Record<K, A | B>>;
  <K extends string | symbol, A, B>(
    self: ReadonlyRecord<K, A>,
    key: NoInfer<K>,
    f: (a: A) => B,
  ): Option<Record<K, A | B>>;
};

pop

Added in v2.0.0 Source

Signature

declare const pop: {
  <K extends string | symbol, X extends string | symbol>(
    key: X,
  ): <A>(self: ReadonlyRecord<K, A>) => Option<[A, Record<Exclude<K, X>, A>]>;
  <K extends string | symbol, A, X extends string | symbol>(
    self: ReadonlyRecord<K, A>,
    key: X,
  ): Option<[A, Record<Exclude<K, X>, A>]>;
};

remove

Added in v2.0.0 Source

When to use

If the key is not present, the result is still a shallow copy of the original record.

Signature

declare const remove: {
  <K extends string | symbol, X extends string | symbol>(
    key: X,
  ): <A>(self: ReadonlyRecord<K, A>) => Record<Exclude<K, X>, A>;
  <K extends string | symbol, A, X extends string | symbol>(
    self: ReadonlyRecord<K, A>,
    key: X,
  ): Record<Exclude<K, X>, A>;
};

replace

Added in v2.0.0 Source

Replaces the value at an existing key safely and returns the updated record in Option.some.

Details

If the key is not present, returns Option.none() and leaves the record unchanged.

Signature

declare const replace: {
  <K extends string | symbol, B>(
    key: NoInfer<K>,
    b: B,
  ): <A>(self: ReadonlyRecord<K, A>) => Option<Record<K, B | A>>;
  <K extends string | symbol, A, B>(
    self: ReadonlyRecord<K, A>,
    key: NoInfer<K>,
    b: B,
  ): Option<Record<K, A | B>>;
};

set

Added in v2.0.0 Source

Adds a new key-value pair or update an existing key's value in a record.

Signature

declare const set: {
  <K extends string | symbol, K1 extends string | symbol, B>(
    key: K1,
    value: B,
  ): <A>(self: ReadonlyRecord<K, A>) => Record<K | K1, A | B>;
  <K extends string | symbol, A, K1 extends string | symbol, B>(
    self: ReadonlyRecord<K, A>,
    key: K1,
    value: B,
  ): Record<K | K1, A | B>;
};

}
