EntityProxy.ts

Derives RPC and HTTP API surfaces from clustered entities.

The generated APIs let callers use ordinary RPC clients or HTTP routes while the cluster runtime still locates and delivers messages to the entity instance identified by entityId. Each generated operation keeps the original payload and success schema, adds cluster client errors, and creates a discard variant for fire-and-forget delivery.

Since v4.0.0



Derives an HttpApiGroup from an Entity.

Example (Deriving HTTP API endpoints from an entity)

import { Layer, Schema } from "effect"
import { ClusterSchema, Entity, EntityProxy, EntityProxyServer } from "effect/unstable/cluster"
import { HttpApi, HttpApiBuilder } from "effect/unstable/httpapi"
import { Rpc } from "effect/unstable/rpc"
export const Counter = Entity.make("Counter", [
Rpc.make("Increment", {
payload: { id: Schema.String, amount: Schema.Number },
primaryKey: ({ id }) => id,
success: Schema.Number
})
]).annotateRpcs(ClusterSchema.Persisted, true)
// Use EntityProxy.toHttpApiGroup to create a `HttpApiGroup` from the
// Counter entity
export class MyApi extends HttpApi.make("api").add(EntityProxy.toHttpApiGroup("counter", Counter).prefix("/counter")) {}
// Use EntityProxyServer.layerHttpApi to create a layer that implements
// the handlers for the HttpApiGroup
const ApiLayer = HttpApiBuilder.layer(MyApi).pipe(
Layer.provide(EntityProxyServer.layerHttpApi(MyApi, "counter", Counter))
)

Signature

declare const toHttpApiGroup: <const Name extends string, Type extends string, Rpcs extends Rpc.Any>(
name: Name,
entity: Entity.Entity<Type, Rpcs>
) => HttpApiGroup.HttpApiGroup<Name, ConvertHttpApi<Rpcs>>

Derives an RpcGroup from an Entity.

Example (Deriving RPC endpoints from an entity)

import { Layer, Schema } from "effect"
import { ClusterSchema, Entity, EntityProxy, EntityProxyServer } from "effect/unstable/cluster"
import { Rpc, RpcServer } from "effect/unstable/rpc"

const RpcServerLayer = RpcServer.layer(MyRpcs).pipe(Layer.provide(EntityProxyServer.layerRpcHandlers(Counter)))

Signature

declare const toRpcGroup: <Type extends string, Rpcs extends Rpc.Any>(
entity: Entity.Entity<Type, Rpcs>

Source

Since v4.0.0

Type-level conversion used by toHttpApiGroup.

Details

For each entity RPC, this creates a POST endpoint at /<tag>/:entityId and a discard endpoint at /<tag>/:entityId/discard, including cluster client errors.

Signature

type ConvertHttpApi<Rpcs> =
Rpcs extends Rpc.Rpc<infer _Tag, infer _Payload, infer _Success, infer _Error, infer _Middleware, infer _Requires>
?
| HttpApiEndpoint.HttpApiEndpoint<
_Tag,
"POST",
`/${Lowercase<_Tag>}/:entityId`,
Schema.Struct<{ entityId: typeof EntityId }>,
never,
_Payload,
never,
_Success,
_Error | typeof MailboxFull | typeof AlreadyProcessingMessage | typeof PersistenceError
>
| HttpApiEndpoint.HttpApiEndpoint<
`${_Tag}Discard`,
"POST",
`/${Lowercase<_Tag>}/:entityId/discard`,
Schema.Struct<{ entityId: typeof EntityId }>,
never,
_Payload,
never,
Schema.Void,
typeof MailboxFull | typeof AlreadyProcessingMessage | typeof PersistenceError
>
: never

Source

Since v4.0.0

Type-level conversion used by toRpcGroup.

Details

For each entity RPC, this creates a prefixed request RPC and a discard RPC whose payload includes entityId, and whose errors include cluster client errors.

Signature

type ConvertRpcs<Rpcs, Prefix> =
Rpcs extends Rpc.Rpc<infer _Tag, infer _Payload, infer _Success, infer _Error, infer _Middleware, infer _Requires>
?
| Rpc.Rpc<
`${Prefix}.${_Tag}`,

Schema.Codec<

| (typeof MailboxFull)["Encoded"]
| (typeof AlreadyProcessingMessage)["Encoded"]
| (typeof PersistenceError)["Encoded"],
