MonTask

What is it?

A library which extends System.Task with fluent syntax using LINQ convention.

Examples

Map Generic Tasks

using System;
using System.Task;
using MonTask;

namespace Example {
  public static class Program {

    public static void Main(string[] args) {
      // Returns the lenght of the string given to method ExampleAsync
      Task<int> select = ExampleAsync("Hello World").Select(str => str.Length);
    }

    public static Task<string> ExampleAsync(string txt) {
      return Task.Run(() => txt);
    }
  }
}

Flatten Generic Tasks

using System;
using System.Task;
using MonTask;

namespace Example {
  public static class Program {

    public static void Main(string[] args) {
      // Using map with a task will nest the task.
      Task<Task<string>> select = ExampleAsync("Hello World").Select(str => ExampleAsync(str));
      // Using flatmap will not nest the task.
      Task<string> selectMany = ExampleAsync("Hello World").SelectMany(str => ExampleAsync(str));
    }

    public static Task<string> ExampleAsync(string txt) {
      return Task.Run(() => txt);
    }
  }
}

Flatten Void Tasks

using System;
using System.Task;
using MonTask;

namespace Example {
  public static class Program {

    public static void Main(string[] args) {
      // Using map with a task will nest the task.
      Task<Task> select = ExampleAsync().Select(() => ExampleAsync());
      // Using flatmap will not nest the task.
      Task selectMany = ExampleAsync().SelectMany(() => ExampleAsync());
    }

    public static Task ExampleAsync() {
      return Task.Delay(1000);
    }
  }
}
