Structured concurrency and effects for JavaScript.
Effection leverages the idea of structured concurrency to ensure that you don't leak any resources, effects, and that cancellation is always properly handled. It helps you build concurrent code that feels rock solid at scale, and it does all of this while feeling like normal JavaScript.
Learn how to use Effection in your own project
Effection runs on all major JavaScript platforms including NodeJs, Browser, and Deno. It is published on both npm and deno.land.
Go to website's readme to learn how to contribute to the website.
Deno is the primary tool used for development, testing, and packaging.
To run tests:
$ deno task test
If you want to build a development version of the NPM package so that you can
link it locally, you can use the build:npm script and passing it a version
number. for example:
$ deno task build:npm 3.0.0-mydev-snapshot.0
Task build:npm deno run -A tasks/build-npm.ts "3.0.0-mydev-snapshot.0"
