Channels are queue-like objects (First In First Out) that their enqueue (send) and dequeue (get) functions are asynchronous (async). By passing them between asynchronous functions we can synchronize operations between said functions.

Released under both npmjs & github packages:

Install:

npm install @eyalsh/async_channels

yarn add @eyal-shalev/async_channels

import (ES Modules):

import { Channel } from "@eyalsh/async_channels";

require (CommonJS):

const { Channel } = require("@eyalsh/async_channels");

The library is available to import from deno.land/x/async_channels

import { Channel } from "https://deno.land/x/async_channels/mod.ts";

You can import the library from any CDN that mirrors npmjs.com, such as skypack.dev or unpkg.com.

import { Channel } from "https://cdn.skypack.dev/@eyalsh/async_channels";

Or you can download compiled library from GitHub:

• Latest Release
• All Releases

import { Channel } from "/path/to/async_channels.esm.js";

Note: an IIFE version also exist, if your application doesn't support ES modules.

<script src="/path/to/async_channels.iife.js"></script>
<script>
  const {Channel} = async_channels;
</script>

• middleware (ping-pong)

• pipeline (even or odd)

• pipeline (lorem-ipsum)

• Message Queue

• static site (todos app)

• import { Channel, time } from "https://deno.land/x/async_channels/mod.ts";
  
  function produce(num: number) {
    return Channel.from((async function* () {
      for (let i = 0; i < num; i++) {
        await time.timeout(100).get(); // Do some work...
        yield i;
      }
    })());
  }
  
  time.timeout(300).get().then(() => console.log("boo"));
  
  for await (const product of produce(4)) {
    console.log({ product });
  }
