Fate is a closure based implementation of Promises/A+
A promise
is an object with a then(onFulfilled, onRejected)
closure, making a promise a thenable
object.
A future
is a thenable
with bound fulfill(value)
and reject(reason)
closures. In fate, a future is also a valid node style function(err,arg)
callback.
fate.deferred()
returns an unresolved (pending) future
.
fate.fulfilled(value)
returns a fulfilled promise
.
fate.rejected(reason)
returns a rejected promise
.
inverted(aFuture)
returns a promise
that transposes onFulfilled
and onRejected
.
delay(ms, bFulfill=false)
returns a deferred()
that will be answered after ms
timeout.
timeout(target, ms)
returns a delay(ms)
that will additionally be answered upon target
being answered.
each(anArray)
is a compound deferred()
answered after
all promises in anArray
are either rejected or fulfilled.
Fulfilled if all promise are fulfilled from anArray
.
Rejected if any promises is rejected from anArray
.
all(anArray)
is a compound deferred()
answered after
all promises are fulfilled, or when any promise is rejected.
Fulfilled if any promise is fulfilled from anArray
.
Rejected if all promises are rejected from anArray
.
first(anArray)
is a compound deferred()
answered after
any promise is either fulfilled or rejected.
Fulfilled if any promise is fulfilled from anArray
.
Rejected if all promises are rejected from anArray
.
any(anArray)
is a compound deferred()
answered after
any promise is fulfilled, or when all are rejected.
Fulfilled if any promise is fulfilled from anArray
.
Rejected if all promises are rejected from anArray
.
