TaskEither Quick Reference

import * as TE from 'fp-ts/TaskEither'

TE.right(value)          // Async success
TE.left(error)           // Async failure
TE.tryCatch(asyncFn, toError)  // Promise → TaskEither
TE.fromEither(either)    // Either → TaskEither

TE.map(fn)               // Transform success value
TE.mapLeft(fn)           // Transform error
TE.flatMap(fn)           // Chain (fn returns TaskEither)
TE.orElse(fn)            // Recover from error

// TaskEither is lazy - must call () to run
const result = await myTaskEither()  // Either<E, A>

// Or pattern match
await pipe(
  myTaskEither,
  TE.match(
    (err) => console.error(err),
    (val) => console.log(val)
  )
)()
