export const const empty: <A = never>() => Chunk<A>Creates an empty Chunk.
Example (Creating an empty chunk)
import { Chunk } from "effect"
const emptyChunk = Chunk.empty()
console.log(Chunk.size(emptyChunk)) // 0
empty: <function (type parameter) A in <A = never>(): Chunk<A>A = never>() => 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>
