Scheduling Streams

When working with streams, you might need to introduce specific time intervals between each emission of stream elements. This can be achieved using the Stream.schedule combinator.

const make: <[number, number, number, number, number]>(as_0: number, as_1: number, as_2: number, as_3: number, as_4: number) => Stream.Stream<number, never, never>

Creates a stream from an sequence of values.

Schedules the output of the stream using the provided `schedule`.

schedule

const spaced: (duration: DurationInput) => Schedule.Schedule<number>

Returns a schedule that recurs continuously, each repetition spaced the specified duration from the last run.

Adds an effect to consumption of every element of the stream.

const runPromise: <Chunk<number>, never>(effect: Effect.Effect<Chunk<number>, never, never>, options?: { readonly signal?: AbortSignal; } | undefined) => Promise<Chunk<number>>

Runs an `Effect` workflow, returning a `Promise` which resolves with the result of the workflow or rejects with an error.

runPromise

const runCollect: <number, never, never>(self: Stream.Stream<number, never, never>) => Effect.Effect<Chunk<number>, never, never>

Runs the stream and collects all of its elements to a chunk.

(method) Promise<Chunk<number>>.then<void, never>(onfulfilled?: ((value: Chunk<number>) => void | PromiseLike<void>) | null | undefined, onrejected?: ((reason: any) => PromiseLike<never>) | null | undefined): Promise<...>

Attaches callbacks for the resolution and/or rejection of the Promise.

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) globalThis.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.

In this example, we’ve used the Schedule.spaced("1 second") schedule to introduce a one-second gap between each emission in the stream.
