Reducer.Reducer<boolean>Reducer for combining booleans using OR.
When to use
Use to reduce boolean values where the result should be true if any
combined value is true.
Details
The initialValue is false.

Reducer for combining booleans using OR.
When to use
Use to reduce boolean values where the result should be true if any
combined value is true.
Details
The initialValue is false.
ReducerOr: import ReducerReducer.interface Reducer<A>Represents a strategy for reducing a collection of values of type A into
a single result.
When to use
Use when you need to fold/reduce a collection into a single value.
- You want a reusable reducing strategy that can be passed to library
functions like
Struct.makeReducer, Option.makeReducer, or
Record.makeReducerUnion.
- You need both the combining logic and a known starting value.
Details
Extends
Combiner.Combiner
with:
initialValue – the identity/neutral element for combine.combineAll – folds an entire Iterable<A> from initialValue.
Many modules ship pre-built reducers:
Number.ReducerSum, Number.ReducerMultiplyString.ReducerConcatBoolean.ReducerAnd, Boolean.ReducerOr
Example (String concatenation reducer)
import { Reducer } from "effect"
const Concat = Reducer.make<string>((a, b) => a + b, "")
console.log(Concat.combineAll(["hello", " ", "world"]))
// Output: "hello world"
Reducer<boolean> = import ReducerReducer.function make<A>(
combine: (self: A, that: A) => A,
initialValue: A,
combineAll?: (collection: Iterable<A>) => A
): Reducer<A>
Creates a Reducer from a combine function and an initialValue.
When to use
Use when you have a custom reducing operation not covered by a pre-built reducer.
- You want to provide an optimized
combineAll (e.g. short-circuiting on
a known absorbing element like 0 for multiplication).
Details
- If
combineAll is omitted, a default left-to-right fold starting from
initialValue is used.
- If
combineAll is provided, it completely replaces the default fold.
Example (Multiplying with short-circuit)
import { Reducer } from "effect"
const Product = Reducer.make<number>(
(a, b) => a * b,
1,
(collection) => {
let acc = 1
for (const n of collection) {
if (n === 0) return 0
acc *= n
}
return acc
}
)
console.log(Product.combineAll([2, 3, 4]))
// Output: 24
console.log(Product.combineAll([2, 0, 4]))
// Output: 0
make((a: booleana, b: booleanb) => a: booleana || b: booleanb, false)
