/** * The `effect/match` module provides a type-safe pattern matching system for * TypeScript. Inspired by functional programming, it simplifies conditional * logic by replacing verbose if/else or switch statements with a structured and * expressive API. * * This module supports matching against types, values, and discriminated unions * while enforcing exhaustiveness checking to ensure all cases are handled. * * Although pattern matching is not yet a native JavaScript feature, * `effect/match` offers a reliable implementation that is available today. * * **How Pattern Matching Works** * * Pattern matching follows a structured process: * * - **Creating a matcher**: Define a `Matcher` that operates on either a * specific `Match.type` or `Match.value`. * * - **Defining patterns**: Use combinators such as `Match.when`, `Match.not`, * and `Match.tag` to specify matching conditions. * * - **Completing the match**: Apply a finalizer such as `Match.exhaustive`, * `Match.orElse`, or `Match.option` to determine how unmatched cases should * be handled. * * @since 4.0.0 */ import * as internal from "./internal/matcher.ts" import type * as Option from "./Option.ts" import type { Pipeable } from "./Pipeable.ts" import * as Predicate from "./Predicate.ts" import type * as Result from "./Result.ts" import type * as T from "./Types.ts" import type { Unify } from "./Unify.ts" const TypeId = internal.TypeId /** * Pattern matching follows a structured process: * * - **Creating a matcher**: Define a `Matcher` that operates on either a * specific `Match.type` or `Match.value`. * * - **Defining patterns**: Use combinators such as `Match.when`, `Match.not`, * and `Match.tag` to specify matching conditions. * * - **Completing the match**: Apply a finalizer such as `Match.exhaustive`, * `Match.orElse`, or `Match.option` to determine how unmatched cases should * be handled. * * @example * ```ts * import { Match } from "effect" * * // Simulated dynamic input that can be a string or a number * const input: string | number = "some input" * * // ┌─── string * // ▼ * const result = Match.value(input).pipe( * // Match if the value is a number * Match.when(Match.number, (n) => `number: ${n}`), * // Match if the value is a string * Match.when(Match.string, (s) => `string: ${s}`), * // Ensure all possible cases are covered * Match.exhaustive * ) * * console.log(result) * // Output: "string: some input" * ``` * * @category Model * @since 4.0.0 */ export type Matcher = | TypeMatcher | ValueMatcher /** * Represents a pattern matcher that operates on types rather than specific values. * * A `TypeMatcher` is created when using `Match.type()` and allows you to define * patterns that will be applied to values of the specified type.
