# scoped-futures

A utility crate for imposing upper bounds on `Future` lifetimes. This is especially useful for callbacks that use higher-ranked lifetimes in their return type,
where it can prevent `'static` bounds from being placed on a returned `Future`.

This crate is effectively a port of Sabrina Jewson's [better alternative to lifetime GATs](https://sabrinajewson.org/blog/the-better-alternative-to-lifetime-gats)
for Futures.

## Example
```rust
use core::pin::Pin;
use scoped_futures::{ScopedBoxFuture, ScopedFutureExt};

pub struct Db {
count: u8,
}

impl Db {
async fn transaction<'a, F, T, E>(&mut self, callback: F) -> Result
where
// ScopedBoxFuture imposes a lifetime bound on 'b which prevents the hrtb below needing
// to be satisfied for all lifetimes (including 'static) and instead only lifetimes
// which live at most as long as 'a
F: for<'b /* where 'a: 'b */> FnOnce(&'b mut Self) -> ScopedBoxFuture<'a, 'b, Result> + Send + 'a,
T: 'a,
E: 'a,
{
callback(self).await
}
}`

pub async fn test_transaction<'a, 'b>(
db: &mut Db,
ok: &'a str,
err: &'b str,
is_ok: bool,
) -> Result<&'a str, &'b str> {
// note the lack of `move` or any cloning in front of the closure
db.transaction(|db| async move {
db.count += 1;
if is_ok {
Ok(ok)
} else {
Err(err)
}
}.scope_boxed()).await?;

// note that `async` can be used instead of `async move` since the callback param is unused
db.transaction(|_| async {
if is_ok {
Ok(ok)
} else {
Err(err)
}
}.scope_boxed()).await
}

#[test]
fn test_transaction_works() {
futures::executor::block_on(async {
let mut db = Db { count: 0 };
let ok = String::from("ok");
let err = String::from("err");
let result = test_transaction(&mut db, &ok, &err, true).await;
assert_eq!(ok, result.unwrap());
assert_eq!(1, db.count);
})
}
```
