Promise library for Go.

About

Promises library for Golang. Inspired by JS Promises.

Installation

$ go get -u github.com/chebyrash/promise

Quick Start

var p = promise.New(func(resolve func(interface{}), reject func(error)) {
    // Do something asynchronously.
    const sum = 2 + 2

    // If your work was successful call resolve() passing the result.
    if sum == 4 {
        resolve(sum)
        return
    }

    // If you encountered an error call reject() passing the error.
    if sum != 4 {
        reject(errors.New("2 + 2 doesnt't equal 4"))
        return
    }

    // If you forgot to check for errors and your function panics the promise will
    // automatically reject.
    // panic() == reject()
})

// A promise is a returned object to which you attach callbacks.
p.Then(func(data interface{}) interface{} {
    fmt.Println("The result is:", data)
    return data.(int) + 1
})

// Callbacks can be added even after the success or failure of the asynchronous operation.
// Multiple callbacks may be added by calling .Then or .Catch several times,
// to be executed independently in insertion order.
p.
    Then(func(data interface{}) interface{} {
        fmt.Println("The new result is:", data)
        return nil
    }).
    Catch(func(error error) error {
        fmt.Println("Error during execution:", error.Error())
        return nil
    })

// Since callbacks are executed asynchronously you can wait for them.
p.Await()

Examples

HTTP Request

var requestPromise = promise.New(func(resolve func(interface{}), reject func(error)) {
    var url = "https://httpbin.org/ip"

    resp, err := http.Get(url)
    defer resp.Body.Close()

    if err != nil {
        reject(err)
    }

    body, err := ioutil.ReadAll(resp.Body)
    if err != nil {
        reject(err)
    }

    resolve(body)
})

requestPromise.
    // Parse JSON body
    Then(func(data interface{}) interface{} {
        var body = make(map[string]string)

        json.Unmarshal(data.([]byte), &body)

        return body
    }).
    // Work with parsed body
    Then(func(data interface{}) interface{} {
        var body = data.(map[string]string)

        fmt.Println("Origin:", body["origin"])

        return nil
    }).
    Catch(func(error error) error {
        fmt.Println(error.Error())
        return nil
    })

requestPromise.Await()

Finding Factorial

func findFactorial(n int) int {
	if n == 1 {
		return 1
	}
	return n * findFactorial(n-1)
}

func findFactorialPromise(n int) *promise.Promise {
	return promise.New(func(resolve func(interface{}), reject func(error)) {
		resolve(findFactorial(n))
	})
}

func main() {
	var factorial1 = findFactorialPromise(5)
	var factorial2 = findFactorialPromise(10)
	var factorial3 = findFactorialPromise(15)

	factorial1.Then(func(data interface{}) interface{} {
		fmt.Println("Result of 5! is", data)
		return nil
	})

	factorial2.Then(func(data interface{}) interface{} {
		fmt.Println("Result of 10! is", data)
		return nil
	})

	factorial3.Then(func(data interface{}) interface{} {
		fmt.Println("Result of 15! is", data)
		return nil
	})

	promise.AwaitAll(factorial1, factorial2, factorial3)
}

Chaining

var p = promise.New(func(resolve func(interface{}), reject func(error)) {
    resolve(0)
})

p.
    Then(func(data interface{}) interface{} {
        fmt.Println("I will execute first")
        return nil
    }).
    Then(func(data interface{}) interface{} {
        fmt.Println("And I will execute second!")
        return nil
    }).
    Then(func(data interface{}) interface{} {
        fmt.Println("Oh I'm last :(")
        return nil
    })

p.Await()
