# doors
Use doors to represent asynchronous operations depending on multiple conditions. Imagine a door with multiple locks, you can not open the door until all locks are unlocked and one lock is enough for the door to be closed.
[Check it out online!](http://bredele.github.io/doors)
## Usage
A door is either opened or closed. The transition from one state to an other depends on conditions called "locks".
```js
const Doors = require('doors')
// create a promise that will resolve only once hello and world are unlocked
const promise = new Doors(door => {
door.unlock('hello')
setTimeout(() => {
door.unlock('world')
}, 2000)
}, 'hello world')
```
At the opposite of a promise, the transition from open to close is not immutable (see below) and a door can oscillate between those 2 states. For example, this module has been used in production to represent database connection hang up with automatic retry.
## Api
```js
const doors = require('doors')
// initialize door with one lock
const door = doors('lock1')
// listen when door opens
door.on('open', () => console.log('do something when no lock'))
// listen when door closes
door.on('close', () => console.log('do something when at least one lock'))
door.on('unlock lock1', () => console.log('do something when lock1 is unlocked'))
door.on('unlock lock2', () => console.log('do something when lock1 is locked'))
// is lock1 unlocked?
door.knock('lock1')
// => false
door.unlock('lock1')
// lock lock1 againi
door.lock('lock1')
```
A transition may depend on multiple locks.
```js
const door = doors('lock1 lock2 lock3')
door.unlock('lock3 lock1')
door.knock('lock2 lock1')
// => false
door.knock('lock3 lock1')
// => true
// unlock lock2 after 1 second
door.unlock('lock2', new Promise(resolve => {
setTimeout(resolve, 1000)
}))
// door is opened
door.knock()
// => true
```
Immutable computations can be created from door locks.
```js
// create a promise that is fulfilled when door opens
door.promise().then(
() => console.log('door is opened'),
() => console.log('door is closed')
)
// create a promise that is fulfilled when lock1 is unlocked
door.promise('lock1').then(
() => console.log('lock1 unlock'),
() => console.log('lock1 lock')
)
// create a promise that is fulfilled when lock1 and lock3 are unlocked
door.promise('lock1 lock3').then(
() => console.log('both lock1 and lock3 unlock'),
() => console.log('both lock1 and lock3 lock')
)
```
