effect-error-handling

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps developers replace traditional, error-prone patterns like try/catch, null checks, and if/else statements with the robust and type-safe Effect patterns, leading to more reliable and maintainable code.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Error Handling: Safely wrap synchronous code that throws or promises that reject using Effect.try and Effect.tryPromise, mapping errors to specific tagged error types.
• Null/Undefined Management: Utilize Option to explicitly handle the absence of values, preventing runtime errors.
• Conditional Logic: Replace complex if/else or switch statements with Match for exhaustive and type-safe branching.
• Use Case: Refactor a legacy codebase to use Effect's error handling for all API interactions, ensuring that all potential errors are explicitly handled or propagated.

Quick Start

Use the effect-error-handling skill to refactor the provided code snippet to use Effect.tryPromise for handling potential promise rejections.
