Transformation<Duration.Duration, bigint, never, never>Decodes a bigint (nanoseconds) into a Duration and encodes a
Duration back to bigint nanoseconds.
When to use
Use when you need a schema transformation for nanosecond-precision timestamps or intervals.
Details
Decoding always succeeds and creates a Duration from nanoseconds. Encoding
fails with InvalidValue if the Duration cannot be represented as a
bigint, such as Duration.infinity.
Example (Converting nanoseconds to a Duration)
import { Schema, SchemaTransformation } from "effect"
const schema = Schema.BigInt.pipe(
Schema.decodeTo(Schema.Duration, SchemaTransformation.durationFromNanos)
)export const const durationFromNanos: Transformation<
Duration.Duration,
bigint
>
const durationFromNanos: {
_tag: 'Transformation';
decode: SchemaGetter.Getter<T, E, RD>;
encode: SchemaGetter.Getter<E, T, RE>;
flip: () => Transformation<bigint, Duration.Duration, never, never>;
compose: (other: Transformation<T2, Duration.Duration, RD2, RE2>) => Transformation<T2, bigint, RD2, RE2>;

Example (Converting nanoseconds to a Duration)
import { Schema, SchemaTransformation } from "effect"
const schema = Schema.BigInt.pipe(
Schema.decodeTo(Schema.Duration, SchemaTransformation.durationFromNanos)
)
durationFromNanos: class Transformation<in out T, in out E, RD = never, RE = never>class Transformation {
_tag: 'Transformation';
decode: SchemaGetter.Getter<T, E, RD>;
encode: SchemaGetter.Getter<E, T, RE>;
flip: () => Transformation<E, T, RE, RD>;
compose: <T2, RD2, RE2>(other: Transformation<T2, T, RD2, RE2>) => Transformation<T2, E, RD | RD2, RE | RE2>;
}
Represents a bidirectional transformation between a decoded type T and an encoded
type E, built from a pair of Getters.
When to use
Use when you need a schema transformation that defines how a schema converts
between two representations.
- You want to compose multiple transformations into a pipeline.
- You want to flip a transformation to swap decode/encode.
Details
This is the primary building block for Schema.decodeTo, Schema.encodeTo,
Schema.decode, Schema.encode, and Schema.link. Each direction is a
SchemaGetter.Getter that handles optionality, failure, and Effect services.
- Immutable —
flip() and compose() return new instances.
flip() swaps the decode and encode getters.compose(other) chains: this.decode then other.decode for decoding,
other.encode then this.encode for encoding.
Example (Composing two transformations)
import { SchemaTransformation } from "effect"
const trimAndLower = SchemaTransformation.trim().compose(
SchemaTransformation.toLowerCase()
)
// decode: trim then lowercase
// encode: passthrough (both directions)

) => Effect.Effect<T, SchemaIssue.Issue, RD>
readonly encode: (

) => Effect.Effect<E, SchemaIssue.Issue, RE>
}): Transformation<T, E, RD, RE>
Creates a Transformation from effectful decode and encode functions that
can fail with Issue.
When to use
Use when you need a schema transformation that may fail or require Effect
services.
Details
- Each function receives the input value and
ParseOptions.
- Must return an
Effect that succeeds with the output or fails with Issue.
- Skips
None inputs (missing keys) — functions are only called on present values.
Example (Parsing a date string that can fail)
import { Effect, Option, Schema, SchemaIssue, SchemaTransformation } from "effect"
const DateFromString = Schema.String.pipe(
Schema.decodeTo(
Schema.Date,
SchemaTransformation.transformOrFail({
decode: (s) => {
const d = new Date(s)
return isNaN(d.getTime())
? Effect.fail(new SchemaIssue.InvalidValue(Option.some(s), { message: "Invalid date" }))
: Effect.succeed(d)
},
encode: (d) => Effect.succeed(d.toISOString())
})
)
)
transformOrFail({
decode: (
e: bigint,
options: SchemaAST.ParseOptions
) => Effect.Effect<
Duration.Duration,
SchemaIssue.Issue,
never
>
i: biginti) => import EffectEffect.succeed(import DurationDuration.nanos(i: biginti)),
encode: (
t: Duration.Duration,
options: SchemaAST.ParseOptions
) => Effect.Effect<
bigint,
SchemaIssue.Issue,
never
