NAME

Future::Mojo - use Future with Mojo::IOLoop

SYNOPSIS

 use Future::Mojo;
 use Mojo::IOLoop;
 
 my $loop = Mojo::IOLoop->new;
 
 my $future = Future::Mojo->new($loop);
 
 $loop->timer(3 => sub { $future->done('Done') });
 
 print $future->get, "\n";

DESCRIPTION

This subclass of Future stores a reference to the associated Mojo::IOLoop instance, allowing the await method to block until the Future is ready.

For a full description on how to use Futures, see the Future documentation.

CONSTRUCTORS

new

 my $future = Future::Mojo->new;
 my $future = Future::Mojo->new($loop);

Returns a new Future. Uses "singleton" in Mojo::IOLoop if no loop is specified.

new_timer

 my $future = Future::Mojo->new_timer($seconds);
 my $future = Future::Mojo->new_timer($loop, $seconds);

Returns a new Future that will become ready after the specified delay. Uses "singleton" in Mojo::IOLoop if no loop is specified.

new_timeout

 my $future = Future::Mojo->new_timeout($seconds);
 my $future = Future::Mojo->new_timeout($loop, $seconds);

Returns a new Future that will fail after the specified delay. Uses "singleton" in Mojo::IOLoop if no loop is specified.

METHODS

Future::Mojo inherits all methods from Future and implements the following new ones.

loop

 $loop = $future->loop;

Returns the underlying Mojo::IOLoop object.

await

 $future->await;

Runs the underlying Mojo::IOLoop until the future is ready. If the event loop is already running, an exception is thrown.

done_next_tick

 $future = $future->done_next_tick(@result);

A shortcut to calling the "done" in Future method on the "next_tick" in Mojo::IOLoop. Ensures that a returned Future object is not ready immediately, but will wait for the next I/O round.

fail_next_tick

 $future = $future->fail_next_tick($exception, @details);

A shortcut to calling the "fail" in Future method on the "next_tick" in Mojo::IOLoop. Ensures that a returned Future object is not ready immediately, but will wait for the next I/O round.

promisify

 my $promise = $future->promisify;

Composed from Future::Role::Promisify.
