sealed abstract class Resource[+F[_], +A] extends ResourceLike[F, A]
The Resource is a data structure that captures the effectful
allocation of a resource, along with its finalizer.
This can be used to wrap expensive resources. Example:
def open(file: File): Resource[IO, BufferedReader] = Resource(IO { val in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file)) (in, IO(in.close())) })
Usage is done via use and note that resource usage nests, because its implementation is specified in terms of Bracket:
open(file1).use { in1 =>
open(file2).use { in2 =>
readFiles(in1, in2)
}
}Resource forms a MonadError on the resource type when the
effect type has a cats.MonadError instance. Nested resources are
released in reverse order of acquisition. Outer resources are
released even if an inner use or release fails.
def mkResource(s: String) = { val acquire = IO(println(s"Acquiring $$s")) *> IO.pure(s) def release(s: String) = IO(println(s"Releasing $$s")) Resource.make(acquire)(release) } val r = for { outer <- mkResource("outer") inner <- mkResource("inner") } yield (outer, inner) r.use { case (a, b) => IO(println(s"Using $$a and $$b")) }
On evaluation the above prints:
Acquiring outer Acquiring inner Using outer and inner Releasing inner Releasing outer
A Resource is nothing more than a data structure, an ADT, described by
the following node types and that can be interpreted if needed:
Normally users don't need to care about these node types, unless conversions
from Resource into something else is needed (e.g. conversion from Resource
into a streaming data type).
- F
the effect type in which the resource is allocated and released
- A
the type of resource

Given a
Resource, possibly built by composing multipleResources monadically, returns the acquired resource, as well as an action that runs all the finalizers for releasing it.Given a
Resource, possibly built by composing multipleResources monadically, returns the acquired resource, as well as an action that runs all the finalizers for releasing it.If the outer
Ffails or is interrupted,allocatedguarantees that the finalizers will be called. However, if the outerFsucceeds, it's up to the user to ensure the returnedF[Unit]is called onceAneeds to be released. If the returnedF[Unit]is not called, the finalizers will not be run.For this reason, this is an advanced and potentially unsafe api which can cause a resource leak if not used correctly, please prefer use as the standard way of running a
Resourceprogram.Use cases include interacting with side-effectful apis that expect separate acquire and release actions (like the
beforeandaftermethods of many test frameworks), or complex library code that needs to modify or move the finalizer for an existing resource.- Definition Classes

The finalizers for the two resources are also run concurrently with each other, but within _each_ of the two resources, nested finalizers are run in the usual reverse order of acquisition.
Note that
Resourcealso comes with acats.Parallelinstance that offers more convenient access to the same functionality asparZip, for example viaparMapN:def mkResource(name: String) = { val acquire = IO(scala.util.Random.nextInt(1000).millis).flatMap(IO.sleep) *> IO(println(s"Acquiring $$name")).as(name) val release = IO(println(s"Releasing $$name")) Resource.make(acquire)(release) } val r = (mkResource("one"), mkResource("two")) .parMapN((s1, s2) => s"I have $s1 and $s2") .use(msg => IO(println(msg)))
