decodeTo
without a custom transformation.
compose<function (type parameter) To in compose<To extends Constraint, From extends Constraint>To extends Constraint, function (type parameter) From in compose<To extends Constraint, From extends Constraint>From extends Constraint> extends interface decodeTo<To extends Constraint, From extends Constraint, RD = never, RE = never>Creates a schema that transforms from a source schema to a target schema.
When to use
Use when decoding should change the schema's decoded type or encoded shape,
with an optional custom bidirectional transformation.
Details
Call it with the target schema to and then pipe the source schema from
into the returned function. The resulting schema decodes from
From["Encoded"] to To["Type"] and encodes from To["Type"] back to
From["Encoded"].
When no transformation is provided, SchemaTransformation.passthrough() is
used, so From["Type"] must already be compatible with To["Encoded"].
The resulting schema combines decoding and encoding services from both
schemas and any custom transformation.
Gotchas
In a custom transformation, decode maps From["Type"] to To["Encoded"]
and is used on the encoding path, while encode maps To["Encoded"] to
From["Type"] and is used on the decoding path.
Example (Transforming strings to numbers with a schema transformation)
import { Schema, SchemaGetter } from "effect"
const NumberFromString = Schema.String.pipe(
Schema.decodeTo(
Schema.Number,
{
decode: SchemaGetter.transform((s) => Number(s)),
encode: SchemaGetter.transform((n) => String(n))
}
)
)
const result = Schema.decodeUnknownSync(NumberFromString)("123")
// result: 123
