abstract const class concurrent::Future

sys::Obj
  concurrent::Future

@Js

Source

Future represents the result of an asynchronous computation.

See Actors

cancel

abstract Void cancel()

Source

Cancel this computation if it has not begun processing. No guarantee is made that the computation will be cancelled.

complete

abstract This complete(Obj? val)

Source

Complete the future successfully with given value. Raise an exception if value is not immutable or the future is already complete (ignore this call if cancelled). Raise UnsupportedErr if this future is not completable. Return this. This method is subject to change.

completeErr

abstract This completeErr(Err err)

Source

Complete the future with a failure condition using given exception. Raise an exception if the future is already complete (ignore this call if cancelled). Return this. Raise UnsupportedErr if this future is not completable. This method is subject to change.

get

abstract Obj? get(Duration? timeout := null)

Source

Block current thread until result is ready. If timeout occurs then TimeoutErr is raised. A null timeout blocks forever. If an exception was raised by the asynchronous computation, then it is raised to the caller of this method.

make

new make()

Source

Subclass constructor

makeCompletable

static Future makeCompletable()

Source

Construct a completable future instance in the pending state. This method is subject to change.

status

abstract FutureStatus status()

Source

Current state of asynchronous computation

waitFor

abstract This waitFor(Duration? timeout := null)

Source

Block until this future transitions to a completed state (ok, err, or canceled). If timeout is null then block forever, otherwise raise a TimeoutErr if timeout elapses. Return this.

waitForAll

static Void waitForAll(Future[] futures, Duration? timeout := null)

Source

Block on a list of futures until they all transition to a completed state. If timeout is null block forever, otherwise raise TimeoutErr if any one of the futures does not complete before the timeout elapses.
