<A>(self: Ref<A>): Effect.Effect<A, never, never>Gets the current value of the Ref.
When to use
Use to read the current Ref value without changing it.
Example (Getting the current value)
import { Effect, Ref } from "effect"
const program = Effect.gen(function*() {
const ref = yield* Ref.make(42)
const value = yield* Ref.get(ref)
console.log(value) // 42
})export const const get: <A>(
self: Ref<A>
) => Effect.Effect<A, never, never>
Gets the current value of the Ref.
When to use
Use to read the current Ref value without changing it.
Example (Getting the current value)
import { Effect, Ref } from "effect"
const program = Effect.gen(function*() {
const ref = yield* Ref.make(42)
const value = yield* Ref.get(ref)
console.log(value) // 42
})

}
interface Ref<in out A>A mutable reference that provides atomic read, write, and update operations.
When to use
Use to keep shared mutable state that is read and updated inside Effect
programs.
Details
A Ref is a thread-safe mutable reference type for shared state. It supports
simple read and write operations as well as atomic transformations.
Example (Reading and updating a ref)
import { Effect, Ref } from "effect"
const program = Effect.gen(function*() {
// Create a ref with initial value
const counter = yield* Ref.make(0)
// Read the current value
const value = yield* Ref.get(counter)
console.log(value) // 0
// Update the value atomically
yield* Ref.update(counter, (n) => n + 1)
// Read the updated value
const newValue = yield* Ref.get(counter)
console.log(newValue) // 1
})
The Ref namespace containing type definitions and utilities.
When to use
Use when referring to type members nested under the Ref namespace.
