NAME

Promise::ES6 - ES6-style promises in Perl

SYNOPSIS

    my $promise = Promise::ES6->new( sub {
        my ($resolve_cr, $reject_cr) = @_;

        # ..
    } );

    my $promise2 = $promise->then( sub { .. }, sub { .. } );

    my $promise3 = $promise->catch( sub { .. } );

    my $promise4 = $promise->finally( sub { .. } );

    my $resolved = Promise::ES6->resolve(5);
    my $rejected = Promise::ES6->reject('nono');

    my $all_promise = Promise::ES6->all( \@promises );

    my $race_promise = Promise::ES6->race( \@promises );

DESCRIPTION

This is a rewrite of Promise::Tiny that implements fixes for certain bugs that proved hard to fix in the original code. This module also removes superfluous dependencies on AnyEvent and Scalar::Util.

The interface is the same, except:

• Promise resolutions and rejections accept exactly one argument, not a list. (This accords with the standard.)

• A finally() method is defined.

COMPATIBILITY

Right now this doesn’t try for interoperability with other promise classes. If that’s something you want, make a feature request.
