Minimalist, yet complete control flow library
- new in 4.0 Consistent function signatures
- Tiny library (16kb minified + gzipped, lots of module sharing)
- 2 different kinds of flows: pipeline & stack
- Browser & server support
- Supports promises, generators, & sync functions
- Serial and parallel execution for every flow
- Returns a promise that you can yield on or "await"
DEBUG=vo
for insight into what is being called- Easily catch and fix errors anywhere in the pipeline
- Errors passed as arguments so you know where the failure occurred
- Early exit support
- Well-tested
Vo supports 2 kinds of asynchronous flows:
- pipelines: Transformation pipeline. Return values become the arguments to the next function. As of 4.0.0, only the first argument to vo changes.
- stacks: Express-style. Arguments are passed in at the top and flow through each middleware function
Both of these flows support both parallel and serial execution.
Behaves like transform streams, where return values become arguments to the next function.
- single argument, executed in order
- multiple arguments, executed in order
- single argument, executed in parallel
- multiple arguments, executed in parallel
- exit early from the pipeline
- error in the pipeline
- catch error and continue
- pipeline composition using promises
- pipeline composition with generators
Behaves like express middleware, where the initial arguments are arguments to every function, regardless of return value.
Examples coming soon! Check out the comprehensive test suite for now.
Not implemented yet! Going to use Blake's excellent throwback library to implement this. Also, accepting PRs :-D
Now you can run generators top-level with the runtime:
index.js
var res = yield superagent.get('http://google.com')
console.log(res.status) // 200
vo index.js
Use co-bind just to be safe.
We have a comprehensive test suite. Here's how you run it:
npm install
make test
