--- name: fp-backend description: Functional programming patterns for Node.js/Deno backend development using fp-ts, ReaderTaskEither, and functional dependency injection risk: critical source: community date_added: "2026-09-04" version: 1.0.0 author: kadu tags: - fp-ts - typescript - backend - functional-programming - node - deno - dependency-injection - reader-task-either --- # fp-ts Backend Patterns Functional programming patterns for building type-safe, testable backend services using fp-ts. ## Detailed Guide Read [the detailed guide](references/detailed-guide.md) before executing this skill. It retains the complete procedure and reference material. Treat its safety, prerequisites, and validation requirements as mandatory. For focused work, load the relevant sections; for end-to-end work, read the guide completely. ## When to Use - You are building or refactoring a Node.js or Deno backend with fp-ts. - The task involves dependency injection, service composition, or typed backend errors with `ReaderTaskEither`. - You need functional backend architecture patterns rather than isolated utility snippets. ## Limitations - Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above. - Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review. - Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
