<E>(cause: Cause.Cause<E>): Effect<never, E>Creates an Effect that represents a failure with a specific Cause.
When to use
Use when you already have a full Cause and need to preserve defects,
interruptions, annotations, or combined failures in the effect's failure
channel.
Details
This function allows you to create effects that fail with complex error structures, including multiple errors, defects, interruptions, and more.
Example (Failing with a full Cause)
import { Cause, Effect } from "effect"
const program = Effect.failCause(
Cause.fail("Network error")
)
Effect.runPromiseExit(program).then(console.log)
// Output: { _id: 'Exit', _tag: 'Failure', cause: ... }export const const failCause: <E>(
cause: Cause.Cause<E>
) => Effect<never, E>

import CauseCause.type Cause.Cause = /*unresolved*/ anyCause<function (type parameter) E in <E>(cause: Cause.Cause<E>): Effect<never, E>E>) => interface Effect<out A, out E = never, out R = never>The Effect interface defines a value that lazily describes a workflow or
job. The workflow requires some context R, and may fail with an error of
type E, or succeed with a value of type A.
When to use
Use when you need to represent a lazy, composable workflow that can require
services, fail with a typed error, or succeed with a typed value.
Details
Effect values model resourceful interaction with the outside world,
including synchronous, asynchronous, concurrent, and parallel interaction.
They use a fiber-based concurrency model, with built-in support for
scheduling, fine-grained interruption, structured concurrency, and high
scalability.
To run an Effect value, you need a Runtime, which is a type that is
capable of executing Effect values.
