<A>(
self: Iterable<A>,
predicate: (a: A, i: number) => boolean
): Option.Option<number>Returns the index of the first element matching the predicate, wrapped in an
Option.
When to use
Use to find the index of the first matching element from the start of an iterable.
Example (Finding an index)
import { Array } from "effect"
console.log(Array.findFirstIndex([5, 3, 8, 9], (x) => x > 5)) // Option.some(2)export const const findFirstIndex: {

}

Option.

position.
When to use
Use when a function parameter must match an inferred type without becoming
an inference source.
Details
The parameter using NoInfer must still match the inferred type.
Example (Controlling inference)
import type { Types } from "effect"
declare function withDefault<T>(value: T, fallback: Types.NoInfer<T>): T
// T is inferred as "a" | "b" from the first argument only
const result = withDefault<"a" | "b">("a", "b")

(pipe-friendly) style.
When to use
Use to expose one implementation through both direct and pipe-friendly
call styles.
Details
Pass either the arity of the uncurried function or a predicate that decides
whether the current call is data-first. Arity is the common case. Use a
predicate when optional arguments make arity ambiguous.
Example (Selecting data-first or data-last style by arity)
import { Function, pipe } from "effect"
const sum = Function.dual<
(that: number) => (self: number) => number,
(self: number, that: number) => number
>(2, (self, that) => self + that)
console.log(sum(2, 3)) // 5
console.log(pipe(2, sum(3))) // 5
Example (Defining overloads with call signatures)
import { Function, pipe } from "effect"
const sum: {
(that: number): (self: number) => number
(self: number, that: number): number
} = Function.dual(2, (self: number, that: number): number => self + that)
console.log(sum(2, 3)) // 5
console.log(pipe(2, sum(3))) // 5
Example (Selecting data-first or data-last style with a predicate)
import { Function, pipe } from "effect"
const sum = Function.dual<
(that: number) => (self: number) => number,
(self: number, that: number) => number
>(
(args) => args.length === 2,
(self, that) => self + that
)
console.log(sum(2, 3)) // 5
console.log(pipe(2, sum(3))) // 5

- Returning a successful result from a partial function
Details
- Always returns
Some<A>
- Does not filter
null or undefined; use
fromNullishOr
for that
Example (Wrapping a value)
import { Option } from "effect"
// ┌─── Option<number>
// ▼
const value = Option.some(1)
console.log(value)
// Output: { _id: 'Option', _tag: 'Some', value: 1 }
some(let i: numberi)
}
let i: numberi++
}
return import OptionOption.const none: <A = never>() => Option<A>Creates an Option representing the absence of a value.
When to use
Use to represent a missing or uninitialized value, such as returning "no
result" from a function.
Details
- Returns
Option<never>, which is a subtype of Option<A> for any A
- Always returns the same singleton instance
Example (Creating an empty Option)
import { Option } from "effect"
// ┌─── Option<never>
// ▼
const noValue = Option.none()
console.log(noValue)
// Output: { _id: 'Option', _tag: 'None' }
none()
