Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

Getting started

To install from npm:

npm install @effect/match

Once you have installed the library, you can import the necessary types and functions from the @effect/match module.

import * as Match from "@effect/match"

Defining a Matcher

To define a Matcher from a given type, you can use the type constructor function.

You can then use the when, not & tag combinators to specify the patterns to match against.

For example:

import * as Match from "@effect/match"
import { pipe } from "@effect/data/Function"

const match = pipe(
  Match.type<{ a: number } | { b: string }>(),
  Match.when({ a: Match.number }, (_) => _.a),
  Match.when({ b: Match.string }, (_) => _.b),
  Match.exhaustive,
)

console.log(match({ a: 0 })) // 0
console.log(match({ b: "hello" })) // "hello"

You can also create a Matcher from a value using the value constructor function.

For example:

import * as Match from "@effect/match"
import { pipe } from "@effect/data/Function"

const result = pipe(
  Match.value({ name: "John", age: 30 }),
  Match.when(
    { name: "John" },
    (user) => `${user.name} is ${user.age} years old`,
  ),
  Match.orElse(() => "Oh, not John"),
)

console.log(result) // "John is 30 years old"

Types of patterns

Predicates

Values can be tested against arbitrary functions.

import * as Match from "@effect/match"
import { pipe } from "@effect/data/Function"

const match = pipe(
  Match.type<{ age: number }>(),
  Match.when({ age: (age) => age >= 5 }, (user) => `Age: ${user.age}`),
  Match.orElse((user) => `${user.age} is too young`),
)

console.log(match({ age: 5 })) // "Age: 5"
console.log(match({ age: 4 })) // "4 is too young"

not patterns

not lets you match on everything but a specific value.

import * as Match from "@effect/match"
import { pipe } from "@effect/data/Function"

const match = pipe(
  Match.type<string | number>(),
  Match.not("hi", (_) => "a"),
  Match.orElse(() => "b"),
)

console.log(match("hello")) // "a"
console.log(match("hi")) // "b"

tag patterns

Matches against the tag in a Discriminated Union

import * as Match from "@effect/match"
import * as E from "@effect/data/Either"
import { pipe } from "@effect/data/Function"

// type Either<L, R> = { _tag: "Right", right: R } | { _tag: "Left", left: L }
const match = pipe(
  Match.type<E.Either<string, number>>(),
  Match.tag("Right", (_) => _.right),
  Match.tag("Left", (_) => _.left),
  Match.exhaustive,
)

console.log(match(E.right(123))) // 123

Evaluating a Matcher

option

A Matcher that might match a value. Returns an Option.

import * as Match from "@effect/match"
import * as E from "@effect/data/Either"
import { pipe } from "@effect/data/Function"

// type Either<L, R> = { _tag: "Right", right: R } | { _tag: "Left", left: L }
// type Option<T> = { _tag: "Some", value: T } | { _tag: "None" }
const result = pipe(
  Match.value(E.right(0)),
  Match.when({ _tag: "Right" }, (_) => _.right),
  Match.option,
)

console.log(result) // { _tag: "Some", value: 0 }

exhaustive

A Matcher that marks the end of the matching process and checks if all possible matches were made. Returns the match (for Match.value) or the evaluation function (for Match.type).

import * as Match from "@effect/match"
import * as E from "@effect/data/Either"
import { pipe } from "@effect/data/Function"

// type Either<L, R> = { _tag: "Right", right: R } | { _tag: "Left", left: L }
const result = pipe(
  Match.value(E.right(0)),
  Match.when({ _tag: "Right" }, (_) => _.right),
  Match.exhaustive, // TypeError! { _tag: "left", left: never } is not assignable to never
)

orElse

A Matcher that marks the end of the matcher and allows to provide a fallback value if no patterns match. Returns the match (for Match.value) or the evaluation function (for Match.type).

import * as Match from "@effect/match"
import { pipe } from "@effect/data/Function"

const match = pipe(
  Match.type<string | number>(),
  Match.when("hi", (_) => "hello"),
  Match.orElse(() => "I literally do not understand"),
)

console.log(match("hello")) // "I literally do not understand"
console.log(match("hi")) // "hello"

either

A Matcher that might match a value. Returns an Either in the shape of Either<NoMatchResult, MatchResult>.

import * as Match from "@effect/match"
import { pipe } from "@effect/data/Function"

const match = pipe(
  Match.type<string>(),
  Match.when("hi", (_) => "hello"),
  Match.either,
)

// type Either<L, R> = { _tag: "Right", right: R } | { _tag: "Left", left: L }
console.log(match("hi")) // { _tag: "Right", value: "hello" }
console.log(match("shigidigi")) // { _tag: "Left", value: "shigidigi" }
