feat(ai-effect): add Effect 4 bindings for TanStack AI - #2074
Effect 4 users can now call every TanStack AI activity the Effect way with the new @tanstack/ai-effect package. AI.chat returns an Effect Stream, and the other activities return an Effect. Fiber interruption aborts the provider request. Tools can be Effects that read services from a Layer.
🎯 Changes
New package @tanstack/ai-effect. It is a thin wrapper over core. It has no change to @tanstack/ai or to the adapters.
Every activity function in core has a wrapper with the same name and options (minus abortSignal). Per-model types still work.
A rejection, or a throw from a stream, becomes a typed AIError. A RUN_ERROR chunk stays a normal chunk, so it can still go to the browser over SSE.
AI.serverTool(def, effectFn). It writes a server tool as an Effect. The services that the tool needs join the R type of chat. A tool failure goes to the model as a normal tool error.
AI.toolSchema(schema). It turns an Effect Schema into a tool schema with closed objects (additionalProperties: false). Schema.toStandardJSONSchemaV1 leaves objects open, and the OpenAI adapter then sends the tool with strict: false.
Example app examples/react/effect-chat. It has a get_weather Effect tool that reads a Weather service from a Layer.
Docs. A new Effect section (docs/effect/), a tutorial, an API page, and a package README.
E2E. A route and a spec for an Effect chat with a tool, and for an Effect generateImage (aimock).
New dependency: effect@^4.1.0 (a peer dependency and a dev dependency of the new package, and a dependency of the example app and E2E app).
pnpm test:docs and pnpm test:sherif. The sherif warning about examples/react/package.json is also on main.
E2E types: no errors in the Effect files.
Not run locally: the E2E suite, test:knip, and the full test:pr. CI runs them.
Manual test:
Put OPENAI_API_KEY=... in examples/react/effect-chat/.env.
Run pnpm --dir examples/react/effect-chat dev, then open http://localhost:3100.
Send "What is the weather in Zagreb?".
Make sure that the UI shows "Called get_weather", then a streamed answer with "22°C". The 22 comes only from the WeatherLive Layer.
Send a question about two cities, then click Stop during the run. The request aborts and the UI goes back to Send.
Make sure that the server log has no strict: false warning for get_weather.
How this PR makes testing easy: unit tests in packages/ai-effect/tests/, the example app examples/react/effect-chat, and the E2E spec testing/e2e/tests/effect-chat.spec.ts.
Risk / rollback
Low risk. The PR adds a new package, an example, docs, and E2E files. It does not change any existing package source. The lockfile only adds effect and the new workspace entries. To undo, revert this PR.
Public API change
Before: no Effect bindings. An Effect user wraps each promise or async iterable, and wires the AbortSignal, by hand.
After

Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Added @tanstack/ai-effect, enabling chat, server tools, and AI activities to run as Effects or Streams.
Added an Effect-powered React chat example with streaming responses and a weather tool.
Documentation
Added API reference, guides, and a tutorial covering chat streaming, tools, and activities.
Tests
Added unit and end-to-end coverage for Effect chat, tools, activity wrappers, and image generation.
Add @tanstack/ai-effect. Every TanStack AI activity runs as an Effect,
or as a Stream when it streams. Fiber interruption aborts the provider
request, and a failure is a typed AIError.
serverTool writes a tool as an Effect. The tool services join the R
type of chat. toolSchema turns an Effect Schema into a closed tool
schema, so OpenAI strict mode stays on.
Also add the examples/react/effect-chat app, an E2E route and spec,
and the Effect docs section with a tutorial and an API page.
This pull request adds @tanstack/ai-effect, which wraps TanStack AI chat and activity calls as Effects or Streams. It adds API documentation, a React chat example with an Effect server tool, and end-to-end tests for chat and image generation.
Adds package metadata and exports, AIError, and adapters that lift promises and async iterables into Effects and Streams. Tests cover error mapping and interruption.
Chat, server tools, and schemas packages/ai-effect/src/chat.ts, packages/ai-effect/tests/chat.test.ts, docs/api/ai-effect.md, docs/effect/index.md, docs/effect/tools.md
Adds Effect-backed server tools, schema conversion, and a chat wrapper. Chat results can be Effects or Streams, and tool service requirements and interruptions are handled through the Effect context. Tests and guides cover these APIs and their behavior.
Adds Effect or Stream wrappers for the listed AI activities. Tests exercise representative results and interruption behavior. Documentation describes return types, errors, and cancellation.
React example and tutorial examples/react/effect-chat/*, examples/README.md, docs/tutorials/effect-chat.md, docs/config.json
Adds a React chat app with an Effect weather service and server tool, an SSE API route, and client chat controls. Adds setup instructions, a tutorial, and documentation navigation entries.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 4ec00
The package is mergeable with bounded follow-up: correct the narrow Promise-only dispatch edge case and clarify the image example’s endpoint. The suspected provider cancellation defect was not substantiated.

No coverage on the base commit, so nothing to compare against: ai-effect.
The active-tool interruption test covers only streaming chat. Add cases for stream: false and outputSchema that interrupt the chat fiber after the tool starts and assert that the tool’s interruption cleanup runs. A regression limited to either non-streaming path could otherwise pass the suite.

Review comments at @packages/ai-effect/tests/chat.test.ts:
- Around line 180-183: Add non-streaming interruption coverage alongside the
existing active-tool interruption test: exercise both stream: false and the
outputSchema path, interrupt each chat fiber after its tool starts, and assert
that the tool’s interruption cleanup runs.

Failed pre-merge checks:
- Docstring Coverage:
Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage
threshold.

The server sample does not state its route, while the client posts to /api/generate/image. If a reader mounts the handler elsewhere, the copied client sends requests to a route without that handler and receives 404 responses. State the required route above the server sample.

Add a clear statement above the server sample that its handler must be mounted
at `/api/generate/image`, matching the client request path. Leave the handler
and client code unchanged.

If an options object passed to uploadFile contains an extra stream: true property, the wrapper returns a Stream instead of the documented Effect. Consuming that stream attempts to iterate a Promise. Use toEffect for Promise-only activities regardless of this property.

Update the wrapper used by uploadFile so it always routes Promise-only activity
results through toEffect, regardless of an extra stream option. Keep toStream
only for activities whose results are actually async iterables, and preserve
their existing streaming behavior.

Effect 4 users can now call every TanStack AI activity the Effect way with the new
@tanstack/ai-effectpackage.AI.chatreturns an EffectStream, and the other activities return anEffect. Fiber interruption aborts the provider request. Tools can be Effects that read services from a Layer.🎯 Changes
@tanstack/ai-effect. It is a thin wrapper over core. It has no change to@tanstack/aior to the adapters.abortSignal). Per-model types still work.AIError. ARUN_ERRORchunk stays a normal chunk, so it can still go to the browser over SSE.AI.serverTool(def, effectFn). It writes a server tool as an Effect. The services that the tool needs join theRtype ofchat. A tool failure goes to the model as a normal tool error.AI.toolSchema(schema). It turns an Effect Schema into a tool schema with closed objects (additionalProperties: false).Schema.toStandardJSONSchemaV1leaves objects open, and the OpenAI adapter then sends the tool withstrict: false.examples/react/effect-chat. It has aget_weatherEffect tool that reads aWeatherservice from a Layer.docs/effect/), a tutorial, an API page, and a package README.generateImage(aimock).New dependency:
effect@^4.1.0(a peer dependency and a dev dependency of the new package, and a dependency of the example app and E2E app).✅ Checklist

packages/ai-effect/tests/, the example appexamples/react/effect-chat, and the E2E spectesting/e2e/tests/effect-chat.spec.ts.Risk / rollback
Low risk. The PR adds a new package, an example, docs, and E2E files. It does not change any existing package source. The lockfile only adds
effectand the new workspace entries. To undo, revert this PR.Public API change
Before: no Effect bindings. An Effect user wraps each promise or async iterable, and wires the
AbortSignal, by hand.After
