Side effects#

Because Lustre view functions don't contain local state, there's not much use in performing side effects like HTTP requests in them. Instead, Lustre has so-called managed effects: we provide descriptions of side effects to the runtime and the runtime is responsible for executing them and communicating the results back to our update function.

We call these descriptions Effects

Whoopsie, I haven't got round to writing this guide yet. If you haven't checked out the quickstart guide that is probably the best place to go to get up to speed.

If you have any questions, feel free to ping @hayleigh.dev over on the Gleam Discord server and I'd be happy to help you out!
