<A>(self: Chunk<A>): Chunk<A>Removes duplicate elements from a Chunk, preserving the first occurrence
of each value.
Example (Removing duplicate values)
import { Chunk } from "effect"
const chunk = Chunk.make(1, 2, 2, 3, 1, 4, 3)
const result = Chunk.dedupe(chunk)
console.log(Chunk.toArray(result)) // [1, 2, 3, 4]
// Empty chunk
const empty = Chunk.empty<number>()
const emptyDeduped = Chunk.dedupe(empty)
console.log(Chunk.toArray(emptyDeduped)) // []
// No duplicates
const unique = Chunk.make(1, 2, 3)
const uniqueDeduped = Chunk.dedupe(unique)
console.log(Chunk.toArray(uniqueDeduped)) // [1, 2, 3]export const const dedupe: <A>(

interface Chunk<out A>A Chunk is an immutable, ordered collection optimized for efficient concatenation and access patterns.
Example (Inspecting chunk values)
import { Chunk } from "effect"
const chunk: Chunk.Chunk<number> = Chunk.make(1, 2, 3)
console.log(chunk.length) // 3
console.log(Chunk.toArray(chunk)) // [1, 2, 3]
A namespace containing utility types for Chunk operations.
Example (Working with Chunk utility types)
import type { Chunk } from "effect"
// Extract the element type from a Chunk
declare const chunk: Chunk.Chunk<string>
type ElementType = Chunk.Chunk.Infer<typeof chunk> // string
// Create a preserving non-emptiness
declare const nonEmptyChunk: Chunk.NonEmptyChunk<number>
type WithString = Chunk.Chunk.With<typeof nonEmptyChunk, string> // Chunk.NonEmptyChunk<string>

Chunk<function (type parameter) A in <A>(self: Chunk<A>): Chunk<A>A> => const fromArrayUnsafe: <A>(
self: ReadonlyArray<A>
) => Chunk<A>
Wraps an array into a chunk without copying.
When to use
Use when the input array can be shared with the resulting Chunk and avoiding
a copy matters.
Gotchas
Mutating the source array after wrapping can mutate the resulting Chunk.
Example (Creating chunks without copying arrays)
import { Chunk } from "effect"
const array = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
const chunk = Chunk.fromArrayUnsafe(array)
console.log(Chunk.toArray(chunk)) // [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
// Warning: Since this doesn't copy the array, mutations affect the chunk
array[0] = 999
console.log(Chunk.toArray(chunk)) // [999, 2, 3, 4, 5]
fromArrayUnsafe(import RARA.dedupe(const toReadonlyArray: <
S extends Chunk<any>
>(
self: S
) => S extends NonEmptyChunk<any>
? RA.NonEmptyReadonlyArray<Chunk.Infer<S>>
: ReadonlyArray<Chunk.Infer<S>>
Converts a Chunk into a ReadonlyArray. If the provided Chunk is
non-empty (NonEmptyChunk), the function will return a
NonEmptyReadonlyArray, ensuring the non-empty property is preserved.
Example (Converting chunks to readonly arrays)
import { Chunk } from "effect"
const chunk = Chunk.make(1, 2, 3)
const readonlyArray = Chunk.toReadonlyArray(chunk)
console.log(readonlyArray) // [1, 2, 3]
// The result is read-only, modifications would cause TypeScript errors
// readonlyArray[0] = 10 // TypeScript error
// With empty chunk
const emptyChunk = Chunk.empty<number>()
console.log(Chunk.toReadonlyArray(emptyChunk)) // []
