type 'a t = ..

'a Effect.t represents some computation of type 'a that can be performed outside of the typical computational/incremental structure of a Bonsai program . Examples of this computation might be:

  • Calling an RPC and getting the result back
  • Running expensive computation on a web-worker thread
  • Requesting some information from the imperative "Start.Handle"-holding code

If you have a value of type 'a Effect.t, you can schedule it to be run by calling inject and providing a function that will be called when the callback completes.

type t +=
  1. | Ignore : Base.unit t
  2. | Many : Base.unit t Base.list -> Base.unit t
include Base.Monad.S with type 'a t := 'a t
val (>>=) : 'a t -> ('a -> 'b t) -> 'b t
val (>>|) : 'a t -> ('a -> 'b) -> 'b t
module Monad_infix : sig ... end
val bind : 'a t -> f:('a -> 'b t) -> 'b t
val return : 'a -> 'a t
val map : 'a t -> f:('a -> 'b) -> 'b t
val join : 'a t t -> 'a t
val ignore_m : 'a t -> unit t
val all : 'a t list -> 'a list t
val all_unit : unit t list -> unit t
module Let_syntax : sig ... end
val never : 'a t

An effect that never completes

val lazy_ : 'a t Base.Lazy.t -> 'a t

If creating an effect could be expensive, you can wrap its construction in a lazy and pass it to this function so that its construction will be deferred until it's about to be evaluated.

val print_s : Base.Sexp.t -> Base.unit t

Prints the sexp when scheduled.

val of_sync_fun : ('query -> 'result) -> 'query -> 'result t

of_sync_fun is similar to of_deferred_fun but with a synchronous function instead of a deferred one. This can be used for functions that are synchronous but side-effecting, or as a mock-function in tests that replace the usages of of_deferred_fun in the actual app.

Note that, unlike of_deferred_fun, the function must return immediately, so it's not possible to test the behaviour of tour app between calling the function and the effect becoming 'determined'. If you need to do this, see of_svar and of_query_response_tracker below.

module Define (Handler : Handler) : S with type action := Handler.Action.t and type 'a t := 'a t
module Define1 (Handler : sig ... end) : sig ... end
module Expert : sig ... end
module Private : sig ... end
module For_testing : sig ... end
