promesa.core

->

macro

(-> x & forms)

Like the clojure.core/->, but it will handle promises in values and make sure the next form gets the value realized instead of the promise.

Example fetching data in the browser with CLJS:

(p/-> (js/fetch #js {…}) ; returns a promise .-body)

The result of a thread is a promise that will resolve to the end of the thread chain.

->>

macro

(->> x & forms)

Like the clojure.core/->>, but it will handle promises in values and make sure the next form gets the value realized instead of the promise.

Example fetching data in the browser with CLJS:

(p/->> (js/fetch #js {…}) ; returns a promise .-body read-string (mapv inc)

The result of a thread is a promise that will resolve to the end of the thread chain.

all

(all promises)

Given an array of promises, return a promise that is fulfilled when all the items in the array are fulfilled.

Example:

(-> (p/all [(promise :first-promise)
            (promise :second-promise)])
    (then (fn [[first-result second-result]])
            (println (str first-result ", " second-result))))

Will print to out :first-promise, :second-promise.

If at least one of the promises is rejected, the resulting promise will be rejected.

any

(any promises)(any promises default)

Given an array of promises, return a promise that is fulfilled when first one item in the array is fulfilled.

as->

macro

(as-> expr name & forms)

Like clojure.core/as->, but it will handle promises in values and make sure the next form gets the value realized instead of the promise.

await

(await resource)(await resource duration)

A exception safer variant of await!. Returns nil on timeout exception, forwards interrupted exception and all other exceptions are returned as value, so user is responsible for checking if the returned value is exception or not.

await!

(await! resource)(await! resource duration)

Generic await operation. Block current thread until some operation terminates. Returns nil on timeout; does not catch any other exception.

Default implementation for Thread, CompletableFuture and CountDownLatch.

The return value is implementation specific.

bind

(bind p f)(bind p f executor)

Chains a function f to be executed with when the promise p is successfully resolved. Returns a promise that will mirror the promise instance returned by calling f with the value as single argument; f must return a promise instance.

The computation will be executed in the completion thread by default; you also can provide a custom executor.

cancel!

(cancel! p)

Cancel the promise.

cancelled?

(cancelled? v)

Return true if v is a cancelled promise.

catch

(catch p f)(catch p pred-or-type f)

Chains a function f to be executed when the promise p is rejected. Returns a promise that will be resolved with the return value of calling f with exception as single argument; f can return a plain value or promise instance, an automatic unwrapping will be performed.

The computation will be executed in the completion thread, look at merr if you want the ability to schedule the computation to other thread.

chain

(chain p f)(chain p f & fs)

Chain variable number of functions to be executed serially using then.

chain'

(chain' p f)(chain' p f & fs)

Chain variable number of functions to be executed serially using map.

create

(create f)(create f executor)

Create a promise instance from a factory function. If an executor is provided, the factory will be executed in the provided executor.

A factory function looks like (fn [resolve reject] (resolve 1)).

deferred

(deferred)

Creates an empty promise instance.

deferred?

(deferred? v)

Return true if v is a deferred instance.

delay

(delay t)(delay t v)(delay t v scheduler)

Given a timeout in miliseconds and optional value, returns a promise that will be fulfilled with provided value (or nil) after the time is reached.

do

macro

do*

macro

done?

(done? p)

Returns true if promise p is already done.

doseq

macro

(doseq [binding xs] & body)

Simplified version of doseq which takes one binding and a seq, and runs over it using promesa.core/run!

extract

(extract p)(extract p default)

Returns the current promise value.

finally

(finally p f)(finally p f executor)

handle

(handle p f)(handle p f executor)

Chains a function f to be executed when the promise p is completed (resolved or rejected) and returns a promise completed (resolving or rejecting) with the return value of calling f with both: value and the exception; f can return a new plain value or promise instance, and automatic unwrapping will be performed.

The computation will be executed in the completion thread by default; you also can provide a custom executor.

For performance sensitive code, look at hmap and hcat.

hcat
