sealed abstract class Resource[F[_], A] extends AnyRef

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

  4. def allocated(implicit F: Bracket[F, Throwable]): F[(A, F[Unit])]

    Given a Resource, possibly built by composing multiple Resources 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 multiple Resources monadically, returns the acquired resource, as well as an action that runs all the finalizers for releasing it.

    If the outer F fails or is interrupted, allocated guarantees that the finalizers will be called. However, if the outer F succeeds, it's up to the user to ensure the returned F[Unit] is called once A needs to be released. If the returned F[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 Resource program.

    Use cases include interacting with side-effectful apis that expect separate acquire and release actions (like the before and after methods of many test frameworks), or complex library code that needs to modify or move the finalizer for an existing resource.
