# Reactivity API: Core
<br/>
:::warning
Yielding is not allowed in any stable or reactive scope. Strict mode will check
for this.
:::
## root()
Creates and runs a function in a new stable scope.
- **Type**
```lua
function root<T...>(fn: (destroy: () -> ()) -> T...): T...
```
- **Details**
Returns the result of the given function.
Creates a new stable scope, where creation of effects can be tracked and
properly disposed of.
A function to destroy the root is passed into the callback, which will run
any cleanups and allow derived sources created to garbage collect.
## source()
Creates a new source with the given value.
- **Type**
```lua
function source<T>(value: T): Source<T>
type Source<T> =
() -> T -- get
& (T) -> () -- set
```
- **Details**
Calling the returned source with no argument will return its stored value,
calling with an argument will set a new value.
- **Example**
```lua
local count = source(0)
count() -- 0
count(count() + 1) -- 1
```
## effect()
Runs a side-effect in a new reactive scope on source update.
- **Type**
```lua
function effect(callback: () -> ())
```
- **Details**
Any time a source referenced in the callback is updated, the callback will
be reran.
The callback is ran once immediately.
- **Example**
```lua
local num = source(1)
effect(function()
print(num())
end)
-- prints 1
num(num() + 1)
-- prints 2
```
## derive()
Derives a new source in a new reactive scope from existing sources.
- **Type**
```lua
function derive<T>(source: () -> T): () -> T
```
- **Details**
The derived source will have its value recalculated when any source source
it derives from is updated.
Anytime its value is recalculated it is also cached, subsequent calls will
retun this cached value until it recalculates again.
The callback is ran once immediately.
- **Example**
```lua
local count = source(0)
local text = derive(function() return `count: {count()}` end)
text() -- "count: 0"
count(1)
text() -- "count: 1"
```
