Effect Schema to Equivalence

The Equivalence.make function allows you to generate an Equivalence based on a schema definition. This function is designed to compare data structures for equivalence according to the rules defined in the schema.

Example

1
import {
import Equivalence
Equivalence
,
import Schema
Schema
} from "@effect/schema"

const
const Person: Schema.Struct<{ name: typeof Schema.String; age: typeof Schema.Number; }>

Schema
.
function Struct<{ name: typeof Schema.String; age: typeof Schema.Number; }>(fields: { name: typeof Schema.String; age: typeof Schema.Number; }): Schema.Struct<{ name: typeof Schema.String; age: typeof Schema.Number; }> (+1 overload) namespace Struct
Struct

namespace console var console: Console

The `console` module provides a simple debugging console that is similar to the JavaScript console mechanism provided by web browsers. The module exports two specific components: * A `Console` class with methods such as `console.log()`, `console.error()` and `console.warn()` that can be used to write to any Node.js stream. * A global `console` instance configured to write to [`process.stdout`](https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v22.x/api/process.html#processstdout) and [`process.stderr`](https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v22.x/api/process.html#processstderr). The global `console` can be used without importing the `node:console` module. _**Warning**_: The global console object's methods are neither consistently synchronous like the browser APIs they resemble, nor are they consistently asynchronous like all other Node.js streams. See the [`note on process I/O`](https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v22.x/api/process.html#a-note-on-process-io) for more information. Example using the global `console`: ```js console.log('hello world'); // Prints: hello world, to stdout console.log('hello %s', 'world'); // Prints: hello world, to stdout console.error(new Error('Whoops, something bad happened')); // Prints error message and stack trace to stderr: // Error: Whoops, something bad happened // at [eval]:5:15 // at Script.runInThisContext (node:vm:132:18) // at Object.runInThisContext (node:vm:309:38) // at node:internal/process/execution:77:19 // at [eval]-wrapper:6:22 // at evalScript (node:internal/process/execution:76:60) // at node:internal/main/eval_string:23:3 const name = 'Will Robinson'; console.warn(`Danger ${name}! Danger!`); // Prints: Danger Will Robinson! Danger!, to stderr ``` Example using the `Console` class: ```js const out = getStreamSomehow(); const err = getStreamSomehow(); const myConsole = new console.Console(out, err); myConsole.log('hello world'); // Prints: hello world, to out myConsole.log('hello %s', 'world'); // Prints: hello world, to out myConsole.error(new Error('Whoops, something bad happened')); // Prints: [Error: Whoops, something bad happened], to err const name = 'Will Robinson'; myConsole.warn(`Danger ${name}! Danger!`); // Prints: Danger Will Robinson! Danger!, to err ```

console
.
(method) Console.log(message?: any, ...optionalParams: any[]): void

Prints to `stdout` with newline. Multiple arguments can be passed, with the first used as the primary message and all additional used as substitution values similar to [`printf(3)`](http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/printf.3.html) (the arguments are all passed to [`util.format()`](https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v22.x/api/util.html#utilformatformat-args)). ```js const count = 5; console.log('count: %d', count); // Prints: count: 5, to stdout console.log('count:', count); // Prints: count: 5, to stdout ``` See [`util.format()`](https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v22.x/api/util.html#utilformatformat-args) for more information.

You can define how equivalence is generated by utilizing the equivalence annotation in your schema definitions.

(method) Annotable<SchemaClass<string, string, never>, string, string, never>.annotations(annotations: Schema.Annotations.Schema<string, readonly []>): Schema.SchemaClass<string, string, never>

In this setup, the equivalence annotation takes any type parameters provided (typeParameters) and two values for comparison, returning a boolean based on the desired condition of equivalence.
