NAME

Async::ContextSwitcher - helps track execution context in async programs

DESCRIPTION

This is a very simple module that helps you carry around execution context in async programs.

Idea is simple:

  • you create a "new" context for an entry point

    It can be a new web request, a new message from a queue to process or command line script command

  • use "cb_w_context" to create all callbacks in your application

  • correct context restored when your callbacks are called

  • use "context" to access data

METHODS and FUNCTIONS

new

Creates a new context and makes it the current one. Takes named pairs and stores them in the context.

Async::ContextSwitcher->new( request => $psgi_env );

context

Returns the current context. Function is exported. Always returns context.

my $ct = context->{request}{HTTP_CONTENT_TYPE};
context->{user} = $user;

cb_w_context

Wrapper for callbacks. Function is exported. Wraps a callback with code that stores and restores context to make sure correct context travels with your code.

async_call( callback => cb_w_context { context->{good} = shift } );

Make sure that all callbacks in your code are created with this function or you can loose track of your context.
