Tide · API

tide.fire

tide.fire fires one reflex manually: it ingests a fact of kind manual that targets the reflex, carries the caller as by and the input as payload, and returns that fact. The reflex runs on the next advance.

Reflex

{
  id: 'door.list',
  intent: 'Mail the door the list for a night, when somebody asks for it.',
  on: { manual: {} },
  effect: {
    name: 'mail.send',
    input: {
      to: 'the door',
      night: { $ref: '$.fact.payload.night' },
      askedBy: { $ref: '$.fact.by' },
    },
  },
}

Call

await tide.fire('door.list', { now, input: { night: '2026-10-24' }, by: 'ruth' })

Returned fact and mail sent

{
  fact: {
    kind: 'manual',
    payload: { night: '2026-10-24' },
    target: 'door.list',
    by: 'ruth',
    at: 1792854000000,
    depth: 0,
  },
  mailed: [
    { to: 'the door', night: '2026-10-24', askedBy: 'ruth' },
  ],
}
