Using HttpClient Accessor API | Effect Http Client

The Accessor API provides a shortcut that skips the manual service access step.

Instead of writing yield* HttpClient.HttpClient first, you call the method directly on the HttpClient module:

1
import { FetchHttpClient, HttpClient } from "effect/unstable/http";
2
import { Effect } from "effect";
3

4
function fetchUser(userId: number) {
5
  // Using accessor API. No need for Effect.gen to access the client
6
  return HttpClient.get(`https://dummyjson.com/users/${userId}`).pipe(
7
    Effect.andThen((response) => response.json),
8
    Effect.provide(FetchHttpClient.layer),
9
  );
10
}
11

12
// Test it
13
Effect.runPromise(fetchUser(2)).then((user) => {
14
  console.log("Name:", user.firstName, user.lastName);
15
});

Output:

1
Name: Michael Williams
