Effect

An effect is a struct which abstracts a collection of interactions with sagas.

Use Effect

You can use effects in a Automaton or a handle block. You can create a handle block like this:

use Effectful # to use handle/1

handle fn id ->
  perform id, some_effect
end

Pre-defined Effects

Cizen has several pre-defined filters. For convenience, you can alias all of them by;

use Cizen.Effects # aliases all effects.

or only specified effects:

use Cizen.Effects, only: [Subscribe, Receive, Dispatch]

Effects for Event

• Cizen.Effects.Subscribe subscribes events by the given filter.
• Cizen.Effects.Receive receives an event which fulfills the given filter.
• Cizen.Effects.Dispatch dispatches an event with the given body.
• Cizen.Effects.Request dispatches a requestive event and wait the response.

Effects for Saga

• Cizen.Effects.Start starts a saga by the given saga struct.
• Cizen.Effects.End ends a saga by its saga ID.
• Cizen.Effects.Fork forks a saga.
• Cizen.Effects.Monitor starts monitoring a saga.

Effects Combinators

• Cizen.Effects.All performs all given effects.
• Cizen.Effects.Chain chains the given effects and performs them sequencially.
• Cizen.Effects.Map maps the result of the given effect.
