<A>(thunk: LazyArg<A>): Effect<A>Creates an Effect that represents a synchronous side-effectful computation.
When to use
Use when you need to wrap a synchronous side-effectful operation that is not expected to throw.
Details
The provided function is evaluated lazily when the effect runs.
Gotchas
The function must not throw. If it throws, the thrown value is treated as a
defect, not as a typed failure. Use try when throwing is expected.
Example (Capturing synchronous logging in an Effect)
import { Effect } from "effect"
const log = (message: string) =>
Effect.sync(() => {
console.log(message) // side effect
})
// ┌─── Effect<void, never, never>
// ▼
const program = log("Hello, World!")export const const sync: <A>(
thunk: LazyArg<A>
) => Effect<A>

sync: <function (type parameter) A in <A>(thunk: LazyArg<A>): Effect<A>A>(thunk: LazyArg<A>thunk: type LazyArg<A> = () => AA zero-argument function that produces a value when invoked.
When to use
Use to type a lazy value provider that should not run until called.
Example (Creating a lazy argument)
import { Function } from "effect"
const constNull: Function.LazyArg<null> = Function.constant(null)
LazyArg<function (type parameter) A in <A>(thunk: LazyArg<A>): Effect<A>A>) => interface Effect<out A, out E = never, out R = never>The Effect interface defines a value that lazily describes a workflow or
job. The workflow requires some context R, and may fail with an error of
type E, or succeed with a value of type A.
When to use
Use when you need to represent a lazy, composable workflow that can require
services, fail with a typed error, or succeed with a typed value.
Details
Effect values model resourceful interaction with the outside world,
including synchronous, asynchronous, concurrent, and parallel interaction.
They use a fiber-based concurrency model, with built-in support for
scheduling, fine-grained interruption, structured concurrency, and high
scalability.
To run an Effect value, you need a Runtime, which is a type that is
capable of executing Effect values.
