Featured in This Week in Effect #133

Awesome Effect

Libraries, tools, apps, and learning material for Effect, the TypeScript library for typed errors, dependency injection, concurrency, and streams.

Effect 4 is the current major. The list is split by it: Effect v4 core is what ships with Effect 4, Ecosystem libraries are third-party packages that work next to it, and Effect v3 legacy holds the packages that were merged into core plus libraries still pinned to effect@3. Tools, apps, examples, and learning resources follow.

Core packages

Published from the Effect-TS/effect monorepo at the shared v4 version. Packages that only exist for Effect 3 are under Effect v3 legacy.

Official tooling and repos

Ecosystem Ecosystem libraries

Third-party libraries that work next to Effect 4. An entry ending in Effect v4 publishes an effect peer range that accepts 4.x. No tag means the range is open-ended or the project publishes none; check before you depend on it.
