effect-facet-unstable-http-httpserver

name: effect-facet-unstable-http-httpserver description: Guidance for facet effect/unstable/http/HttpServer focused on APIs like make, layerServices, and layerTestClient. Load after effect-skill-router when this facet is the primary owner.

Effect Facet unstable/http/HttpServer

Owned scope

• Owns only effect/unstable/http/HttpServer.
• Parent module: effect/unstable/http.
• Source anchor: packages/effect/src/unstable/http/HttpServer.ts.

What it is for

• Module-specific APIs and usage patterns for Effect programs.

API quick reference

• make
• layerServices
• layerTestClient
• makeTestClient
• serve
• Address
• HttpServer
• logAddress
• TcpAddress
• serveEffect
• UnixAddress
• formatAddress
• addressFormattedWith
• withLogAddress
• Full API list: references/api-reference.md

How to use it

• Start with constructor-style APIs to build values/services before composing operations.
• Keep runtime/execute APIs at edges; compose pure transformations before execution.
• Assume unstable APIs can evolve quickly; isolate usage behind thin local adapters.

Starter example

import { HttpServer } from "effect/unstable/http/HttpServer";

const value = HttpServer.make();

Common pitfalls

• Unstable module contracts may change; avoid coupling core app logic directly to experimental details.
• Prefer explicit, typed combinators over ad-hoc casting or unchecked assumptions.

Not covered here

• Sibling facets under the same parent are out of scope:

  • effect-facet-unstable-http-cookies (effect/unstable/http/Cookies)
  • effect-facet-unstable-http-core (effect/unstable/http#core)
  • effect-facet-unstable-http-etag (effect/unstable/http/Etag)
  • effect-facet-unstable-http-fetchhttpclient (effect/unstable/http/FetchHttpClient)
  • effect-facet-unstable-http-findmyway (effect/unstable/http/FindMyWay)
  • effect-facet-unstable-http-headers (effect/unstable/http/Headers)

  • effect-facet-unstable-http-httpclientresponse (effect/unstable/http/HttpClientResponse)
  • effect-facet-unstable-http-httpeffect (effect/unstable/http/HttpEffect)
  • effect-facet-unstable-http-httpincomingmessage (effect/unstable/http/HttpIncomingMessage)
  • plus 16 additional sibling facets.
• Parent module ownership belongs to effect-module-unstable-http.

Escalate to

• effect-module-unstable-http for parent module-wide workflows.
• effect-skill-router for cross-module routing and ownership checks.
