Initially this started out as an experiment to better understand the inner workings of
JavaScript promises and how this can be implemented from scratch in go.

The result is a promise implementation which follows the [Promises/A+
Standard](https://promisesaplus.com/) and comes with the following additional
features:

* Waiting for promise resolution.
* Panics during promise resolution cause the promise to be rejected with the
panic message.
* Nested promise resolution.
* `Race`, `All`, `Any` and `AllSettled` extensions to handle the parallel
resolution of multiple promises.
* Promise pooling. See the [`promise.Pool`
documentation](https://godoc.org/github.com/martinohmann/promise#Pool)
and the [pooling example](_examples/dns-lookup/pooled/main.go).
* Promise instrumentation for tracing, logging and debugging. See the
[`instrumented` package
documentation](https://godoc.org/github.com/martinohmann/promise/instrumented)
for more information.

Head over to the [`promise`
godoc](https://godoc.org/github.com/martinohmann/promise) for the API
documentation.

Installation
------------

```
go get -u github.com/martinohmann/promise
```

Usage
-----

Check out the examples in the [_examples/](_examples/) directory to see promises in action.

### Simple example

```go
package main

import (
"errors"
"fmt"
"math/rand"
"time"

"github.com/martinohmann/promise"
)

func init() {
rand.Seed(time.Now().UnixNano())
}

func main() {
p := promise.New(func(resolve promise.ResolveFunc, reject promise.RejectFunc) {
// simulate some computation
sleepDuration := time.Duration(rand.Int63n(2000)) * time.Millisecond
time.Sleep(sleepDuration)

fmt.Printf("computation took %s\n", sleepDuration)

// inject some random errors
if rand.Int63n(2) == 0 {
reject(errors.New("computation failed"))
return
}

// simulate computation result
resolve(rand.Int63())
}).Then(func(val promise.Value) promise.Value {
fmt.Printf("computation result: %d\n", val.(int64))
return val
}).Catch(func(err error) promise.Value {
fmt.Printf("error during computation: %v\n", err)
return err
})

// Wait for the promise resolution to be complete, that is: either fulfillment or rejection.
val, err := p.Await()
if err != nil {
fmt.Printf("Promise rejected with error: %v\n", err)
} else {
fmt.Printf("Promise fulfilled with value: %d\n", val.(int64))
}
}
```
