Effect Module Resource
Owned scope
Owns only effect/Resource.
Source of truth: packages/effect/src/Resource.ts.
What it is for
Module-specific APIs and usage patterns for Effect programs.
API quick reference
get
isResource
auto
manual
refresh
Resource
Full API list: references/api-reference.md
How to use it
Treat stateful APIs as synchronization boundaries and keep updates atomic.
Use the reference docs to select the smallest API surface that solves your task.
Validate behavior against existing tests before introducing new usage patterns.
Starter example
import { Resource } from "effect/Resource";
const value = Resource.get();
Common pitfalls
Prefer explicit, typed combinators over ad-hoc casting or unchecked assumptions.
Not covered here
Adjacent modules in effect/* and effect/unstable/* are out of scope for this owner.
Escalate to
effect-skill-router for routing and ownership checks.
