<A>(self: NonEmptyReadonlyArray<A>): AReturns the first element of a NonEmptyReadonlyArray directly (no Option
wrapper).
When to use
Use to get the first element without Option wrapping when the array is known
to be non-empty.
Example (Getting the head of a non-empty array)
import { Array } from "effect"
console.log(Array.headNonEmpty([1, 2, 3, 4])) // 1gettershead

type NonEmptyReadonlyArray<A> = readonly [
A,
...A[]
]
A readonly array guaranteed to have at least one element.
When to use
Use when non-emptiness must be tracked at the type level while preventing mutation.
Many Array module functions accept or return this type.
Example (Typing a non-empty array)
import type { Array } from "effect"
const nonEmpty: Array.NonEmptyReadonlyArray<number> = [1, 2, 3]
const head: number = nonEmpty[0] // guaranteed to exist
NonEmptyReadonlyArray<function (type parameter) A in <A>(self: NonEmptyReadonlyArray<A>): AA>) => function (type parameter) A in <A>(self: NonEmptyReadonlyArray<A>): AA = const getUnsafe: (index: number) => <A>(self: ReadonlyArray<A>) => A (+1 overload)getUnsafe(0)Referenced by 8 symbols
