<A>(predicate: Predicate<NoInfer<A>>): (
self: Chunk<A>
) => self is NonEmptyChunk<A>
<A>(self: Chunk<A>, predicate: Predicate<A>): self is NonEmptyChunk<A>Checks whether a predicate holds true for some Chunk element.
Example (Checking for some matching element)
import { Chunk } from "effect"
const chunk = Chunk.make(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
console.log(Chunk.some(chunk, (n) => n > 4)) // true
console.log(Chunk.some(chunk, (n) => n > 10)) // false
// Empty chunk returns false
const empty = Chunk.empty<number>()
console.log(Chunk.some(empty, (n) => n > 0)) // false
// Check for specific value
const words = Chunk.make("apple", "banana", "cherry")
console.log(Chunk.some(words, (word) => word.includes("ban"))) // trueexport const const some: {
<A>(predicate: Predicate<NoInfer<A>>): (
self: Chunk<A>
) => self is NonEmptyChunk<A>
<A>(
self: Chunk<A>,
predicate: Predicate<A>
): self is NonEmptyChunk<A>
}
Checks whether a predicate holds true for some Chunk element.
Example (Checking for some matching element)
import { Chunk } from "effect"
const chunk = Chunk.make(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
console.log(Chunk.some(chunk, (n) => n > 4)) // true

// Empty chunk returns false

<function (type parameter) A in <A>(predicate: Predicate<NoInfer<A>>): (self: Chunk<A>) => self is NonEmptyChunk<A>A>(predicate: Predicate<NoInfer<A>>predicate: interface Predicate<in A>A function that decides whether a value of type A satisfies a condition.
When to use
Use when you want a reusable boolean check for A, especially when you plan
to combine checks with
and
/
or
or pass a predicate to arrays
and iterables.
Details
A predicate returns true or false and never throws by itself. It does not
narrow types unless you use Refinement.
Example (Defining a predicate)
import { Predicate } from "effect"
const isPositive: Predicate.Predicate<number> = (n) => n > 0
console.log(isPositive(1))
Type-level utilities for working with
Predicate
types.
When to use
Use when you need to extract input types from predicate signatures while
writing generic helpers over predicate types.
Details
These utilities are type-only, create no runtime values, and the namespace is
erased at runtime.
Example (Extracting predicate input)
import { Predicate } from "effect"
type IsString = Predicate.Predicate<string>
type Input = Predicate.Predicate.In<IsString>
Predicate<type NoInfer<A> = [A][A extends any ? 0 : never]Prevents TypeScript from inferring a type parameter from a specific
position.
When to use
Use when a function parameter must match an inferred type without becoming
an inference source.
Details
The parameter using NoInfer must still match the inferred type.
Example (Controlling inference)
import type { Types } from "effect"
declare function withDefault<T>(value: T, fallback: Types.NoInfer<T>): T
// T is inferred as "a" | "b" from the first argument only
const result = withDefault<"a" | "b">("a", "b")

interface Chunk<out A>A Chunk is an immutable, ordered collection optimized for efficient concatenation and access patterns.
Example (Inspecting chunk values)

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

Example (Working with non-empty chunks)
import { Chunk } from "effect"
const nonEmptyChunk: Chunk.NonEmptyChunk<number> = Chunk.make(1, 2, 3)

(pipe-friendly) style.
When to use
Use to expose one implementation through both direct and pipe-friendly
call styles.
Details
Pass either the arity of the uncurried function or a predicate that decides
whether the current call is data-first. Arity is the common case. Use a
predicate when optional arguments make arity ambiguous.
Example (Selecting data-first or data-last style by arity)
import { Function, pipe } from "effect"
const sum = Function.dual<
(that: number) => (self: number) => number,
(self: number, that: number) => number
