## Usage
This lightweight library consists only of a few simple functions.
All functions reside under the `React\Promise\Timer` namespace.
The below examples refer to all functions with their fully-qualified names like this:
```php
React\Promise\Timer\timeout(…);
```
As of PHP 5.6+ you can also import each required function into your code like this:
```php
use function React\Promise\Timer\timeout;
timeout(…);
```
Alternatively, you can also use an import statement similar to this:
```php
use React\Promise\Timer;
Timer\timeout(…);
```
### timeout()
The `timeout(PromiseInterface $promise, float $time, ?LoopInterface $loop = null): PromiseInterface` function can be used to
cancel operations that take *too long*.
You need to pass in an input `$promise` that represents a pending operation
and timeout parameters. It returns a new promise with the following
resolution behavior:
- If the input `$promise` resolves before `$time` seconds, resolve the
resulting promise with its fulfillment value.
- If the input `$promise` rejects before `$time` seconds, reject the
resulting promise with its rejection value.
- If the input `$promise` does not settle before `$time` seconds, *cancel*
the operation and reject the resulting promise with a [`TimeoutException`](#timeoutexception).
Internally, the given `$time` value will be used to start a timer that will
*cancel* the pending operation once it triggers. This implies that if you
pass a really small (or negative) value, it will still start a timer and will
thus trigger at the earliest possible time in the future.
If the input `$promise` is already settled, then the resulting promise will
resolve or reject immediately without starting a timer at all.
This function takes an optional `LoopInterface|null $loop` parameter that can be used to
pass the event loop instance to use. You can use a `null` value here in order to
use the [default loop](https://github.com/reactphp/event-loop#loop). This value
SHOULD NOT be given unless you're sure you want to explicitly use a given event
loop instance.
A common use case for handling only resolved values looks like this:
```php
$promise = accessSomeRemoteResource();
React\Promise\Timer\timeout($promise, 10.0)->then(function ($value) {
// the operation finished within 10.0 seconds
});
```
A more complete example could look like this:
```php
$promise = accessSomeRemoteResource();
React\Promise\Timer\timeout($promise, 10.0)->then(
function ($value) {
// the operation finished within 10.0 seconds
},
function ($error) {
if ($error instanceof React\Promise\Timer\TimeoutException) {
// the operation has failed due to a timeout
} else {
// the input operation has failed due to some other error
}
}
);
```
Or if you're using [react/promise v3](https://github.com/reactphp/promise):
```php
React\Promise\Timer\timeout($promise, 10.0)->then(function ($value) {
// the operation finished within 10.0 seconds
})->catch(function (React\Promise\Timer\TimeoutException $error) {
// the operation has failed due to a timeout
})->catch(function (Throwable $error) {
// the input operation has failed due to some other error
});
```
As discussed above, the [`timeout()`](#timeout) function will take care of
the underlying operation if it takes *too long*. In this case, you can be
sure the resulting promise will always be rejected with a
[`TimeoutException`](#timeoutexception). On top of this, the function will
try to *cancel* the underlying operation. Responsibility for this
cancellation logic is left up to the underlying operation.
- A common use case involves cleaning up any resources like open network
sockets or file handles or terminating external processes or timers.
- If the given input `$promise` does not support cancellation, then this is a
NO-OP. This means that while the resulting promise will still be rejected,
the underlying input `$promise` may still be pending and can hence continue
consuming resources
On top of this, the returned promise is implemented in such a way that it can
be cancelled when it is still pending. Cancelling a pending promise will
cancel the underlying operation. As discussed above, responsibility for this
cancellation logic is left up to the underlying operation.
```php
$promise = accessSomeRemoteResource();
$timeout = React\Promise\Timer\timeout($promise, 10.0);
$timeout->cancel();
```
For more details on the promise cancellation, please refer to the
[Promise documentation](https://github.com/reactphp/promise#cancellablepromiseinterface).
If you want to wait for multiple promises to resolve, you can use the normal
promise primitives like this:
```php
$promises = array(
accessSomeRemoteResource(),
accessSomeRemoteResource(),
accessSomeRemoteResource()
);
$promise = React\Promise\all($promises);
React\Promise\Timer\timeout($promise, 10)->then(function ($values) {
// *all* promises resolved
});
```
The applies to all promise collection primitives alike, i.e. `all()`,
`race()`, `any()`, `some()` etc.
For more details on the promise primitives, please refer to the
[Promise documentation](https://github.com/reactphp/promise#functions).
### sleep()
The `sleep(float $time, ?LoopInterface $loop = null): PromiseInterface` function can be used to
create a new promise that resolves in `$time` seconds.
```php
React\Promise\Timer\sleep(1.5)->then(function () {
echo 'Thanks for waiting!' . PHP_EOL;
});
```
Internally, the given `$time` value will be used to start a timer that will
resolve the promise once it triggers. This implies that if you pass a really
small (or negative) value, it will still start a timer and will thus trigger
at the earliest possible time in the future.
This function takes an optional `LoopInterface|null $loop` parameter that can be used to
pass the event loop instance to use. You can use a `null` value here in order to
use the [default loop](https://github.com/reactphp/event-loop#loop). This value
SHOULD NOT be given unless you're sure you want to explicitly use a given event
loop instance.
The returned promise is implemented in such a way that it can be cancelled
when it is still pending. Cancelling a pending promise will reject its value
with a `RuntimeException` and clean up any pending timers.
```php
$timer = React\Promise\Timer\sleep(2.0);
$timer->cancel();
```
### ~~resolve()~~
> Deprecated since v1.8.0, see [`sleep()`](#sleep) instead.
The `resolve(float $time, ?LoopInterface $loop = null): PromiseInterface` function can be used to
create a new promise that resolves in `$time` seconds with the `$time` as the fulfillment value.
```php
React\Promise\Timer\resolve(1.5)->then(function ($time) {
echo 'Thanks for waiting ' . $time . ' seconds' . PHP_EOL;
});
```
Internally, the given `$time` value will be used to start a timer that will
resolve the promise once it triggers. This implies that if you pass a really
small (or negative) value, it will still start a timer and will thus trigger
at the earliest possible time in the future.
This function takes an optional `LoopInterface|null $loop` parameter that can be used to
pass the event loop instance to use. You can use a `null` value here in order to
use the [default loop](https://github.com/reactphp/event-loop#loop). This value
SHOULD NOT be given unless you're sure you want to explicitly use a given event
loop instance.
The returned promise is implemented in such a way that it can be cancelled
when it is still pending. Cancelling a pending promise will reject its value
with a `RuntimeException` and clean up any pending timers.
```php
$timer = React\Promise\Timer\resolve(2.0);
$timer->cancel();
```
### ~~reject()~~
> Deprecated since v1.8.0, see [`sleep()`](#sleep) instead.
The `reject(float $time, ?LoopInterface $loop = null): PromiseInterface` function can be used to
create a new promise which rejects in `$time` seconds with a `TimeoutException`.
```php
React\Promise\Timer\reject(2.0)->then(null, function (React\Promise\Timer\TimeoutException $e) {
echo 'Rejected after ' . $e->getTimeout() . ' seconds ' . PHP_EOL;
});
```
Internally, the given `$time` value will be used to start a timer that will
reject the promise once it triggers. This implies that if you pass a really
small (or negative) value, it will still start a timer and will thus trigger
at the earliest possible time in the future.
This function takes an optional `LoopInterface|null $loop` parameter that can be used to
pass the event loop instance to use. You can use a `null` value here in order to
use the [default loop](https://github.com/reactphp/event-loop#loop). This value
SHOULD NOT be given unless you're sure you want to explicitly use a given event
loop instance.
The returned promise is implemented in such a way that it can be cancelled
when it is still pending. Cancelling a pending promise will reject its value
with a `RuntimeException` and clean up any pending timers.
```php
$timer = React\Promise\Timer\reject(2.0);
$timer->cancel();
```
### TimeoutException
The `TimeoutException` extends PHP's built-in `RuntimeException`.
#### getTimeout()
The `getTimeout(): float` method can be used to
get the timeout value in seconds.
