Package: effect
Module: MutableRef
Increments a numeric MutableRef by 1 and returns the new value.
When to use
Use to increment a numeric MutableRef and immediately read the updated
value.
Example (Incrementing and reading refs)
import { MutableRef } from "effect"
const counter = MutableRef.make(5)
// Increment and get the new value
const newValue = MutableRef.incrementAndGet(counter)
console.log(newValue) // 6
console.log(MutableRef.get(counter)) // 6
// Use in expressions
const score = MutableRef.make(100)
console.log(`New score: ${MutableRef.incrementAndGet(score)}`) // "New score: 101"
// Pre-increment semantics (like ++i in other languages)
const level = MutableRef.make(0)
const nextLevel = MutableRef.incrementAndGet(level)
console.log(`Reached level ${nextLevel}`) // "Reached level 1"
// Conditional logic based on incremented value
const attempts = MutableRef.make(0)
if (MutableRef.incrementAndGet(attempts) > 3) {
console.log("Too many attempts")
}
Signature
declare const incrementAndGet: (self: MutableRef<number>) => number
