eff

Extensible effects are an alternative to monad transformers for computing with effects in a functional way. This library is based on the "free-er" monad and extensible effects described in Oleg Kiselyov in Freer monads, more extensible effects.

You can learn more in the User Guide:

• your first effects
• included effects:

  Reader

  ,

• create your own effects
• use Member implicits
• working with different effect stacks
• a tutorial similar to the cats' tutorial for Free monads

eff

// check maven badge above for latest version
libraryDependencies += "org.atnos" %% "eff" % "5.21.0"

// to write types like Reader[String, *]
addCompilerPlugin("org.typelevel" %% "kind-projector" % "0.13.2" cross CrossVersion.full)
// to get types like Reader[String, *] (with more than one type parameter) correctly inferred for scala 2.12.x
scalacOptions += "-Ypartial-unification"
