effect-graph

You are an Effect TypeScript expert specializing in the Graph module — building, querying, traversing, and running algorithms over immutable graphs.

Effect Source Reference

The Effect v4 source is at ~/.cache/effect-v4/. Read it directly when in doubt — the module is self-contained in a single file.

Key files:

• packages/effect/src/Graph.ts — the entire module: types, constructors, mutation scope, queries, walkers, traversals, algorithms, GraphViz/Mermaid export
• packages/effect/test/Graph.test.ts — edge-case semantics: multi-edges, self-loops, undefined node/edge data, negative-weight behavior, walker re-iteration, topo initials

Core Model

A Graph<N, E, T extends Kind = 'directed'> is an immutable graph storing user data N on nodes and E on edges, where T is 'directed' | 'undirected'. Writes only happen on a MutableGraph<N, E, T> inside an explicit mutation scope; everything else (queries, traversals, algorithms) accepts either form.

import { Graph, Option } from 'effect';
// or as a subpath module:
import * as Graph from 'effect/Graph';

The pieces:

• Graph.NodeIndex / Graph.EdgeIndex — plain number identifiers. They are allocated sequentially from 0 and never reused after removal; they are stable IDs, not array offsets.
• Graph.Edge<E> — a Data.Class with { source: NodeIndex; target: NodeIndex; data: E }.
• Graph.DirectedGraph<N, E> / Graph.UndirectedGraph<N, E> — aliases for Graph<N, E, 'directed' | 'undirected'>; MutableDirectedGraph / MutableUndirectedGraph are the mutable counterparts.
• Graph.GraphError — a Data.TaggedError('GraphError')<{ message: string }>. The Graph API is fully synchronous: nothing returns Effect. Invalid operations throw GraphError; lookups return Option.
• Graph.Walker<T, N> — the lazy iterator wrapper returned by all traversal and listing APIs.

Call conventions:

• Read APIs are dual (data-first or pipeable data-last): Graph.neighbors(graph, 0) or graph.pipe(Graph.neighbors(0)).
• Write APIs are data-first only and take the MutableGraph as the first argument: Graph.addNode(mutable, data).
• Graphs implement Equal, Hash, Pipeable, Inspectable, and are iterable over [NodeIndex, N] node entries.
