<A>(self: ReadonlyArray<A>): Option.Option<A>Returns the last element of an array safely wrapped in Option.some, or
Option.none if the array is empty.
When to use
Use to safely get the last element of an array that may be empty.
Example (Getting the last element)
import { Array } from "effect"
console.log(Array.last([1, 2, 3])) // Some(3)
console.log(Array.last([])) // Noneexport const const last: <A>(
self: ReadonlyArray<A>
) => Option.Option<A>
Returns the last element of an array safely wrapped in Option.some, or
Option.none if the array is empty.
When to use
Use to safely get the last element of an array that may be empty.
Example (Getting the last element)
import { Array } from "effect"
console.log(Array.last([1, 2, 3])) // Some(3)
console.log(Array.last([])) // None
last = <function (type parameter) A in <A>(self: ReadonlyArray<A>): Option.Option<A>A>(self: readonly A[]self: interface ReadonlyArray<T>ReadonlyArray<function (type parameter) A in <A>(self: ReadonlyArray<A>): Option.Option<A>A>): import OptionOption.type Option<A> = Option.None<A> | Option.Some<A>The Option data type represents optional values. An Option<A> is either
Some<A>, containing a value of type A, or None, representing absence.
When to use
Use to represent initial values that may not yet exist
- Returning from partial functions (not defined for all inputs)
- Managing optional fields in data structures
Namespace containing utility types for Option.
When to use
Use to access type-level helpers associated with Option.
Option<function (type parameter) A in <A>(self: ReadonlyArray<A>): Option.Option<A>A> =>
const isReadonlyArrayNonEmpty: <A>(
self: ReadonlyArray<A>
) => self is NonEmptyReadonlyArray<A>
Checks whether a ReadonlyArray is non-empty, narrowing the type to
NonEmptyReadonlyArray.
When to use
Use when you need to prove a readonly array has at least one element without
requiring mutable array methods afterward.
Example (Checking for a non-empty readonly array)
import { Array } from "effect"
console.log(Array.isReadonlyArrayNonEmpty([])) // false
console.log(Array.isReadonlyArrayNonEmpty([1, 2, 3])) // true
isReadonlyArrayNonEmpty(self: readonly A[]self) ? import OptionOption.const some: <A>(value: A) => Option<A>Wraps the given value into an Option to represent its presence.
When to use
Use to wrap a known present value as Option
- 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(const lastNonEmpty: <A>(
self: NonEmptyReadonlyArray<A>
) => A
Returns the last element of a NonEmptyReadonlyArray directly (no Option
wrapper).
When to use
Use to get the last element without Option wrapping when the array is known
to be non-empty.
Example (Getting the last of a non-empty array)
import { Array } from "effect"
console.log(Array.lastNonEmpty([1, 2, 3, 4])) // 4

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()
