fp-ts provides functional programming constructs for TypeScript, enabling developers to build robust and maintainable applications with a focus on immutability and type safety. This library features data types like Either, Option, and Task alongside essential functional interfaces such as Functor, Applicative, and Monad. fp-ts promotes a declarative style, improving code readability and testability by encouraging pure functions and reduced side effects. It assists in handling errors, asynchronous operations, and data validation in a composable and type-safe manner.
