Future

---

Future uses less than 10 lines of code to change the usage of Promise.

Allow Promise to call resolve/reject anywhere, just like C# TaskCompletionSource, without being restricted to the executor that creates Promise.

---

Installation

via pnpm

pnpm add tiny-future

or via yarn

yarn add tiny-future

or just from npm

npm install --save tiny-future

via JSR

jsr add @happy-js/tiny-future

for deno

deno add @happy-js/tiny-future

for bun

bunx jsr add @happy-js/tiny-future

Example

import { Future } from 'tiny-future';

function sleep(ms: number):Promise<number> {
    const future = new Future<number>();

    setTimeout(() => {
        // future.resolve/future.reject at anywhere
        future.resolve(0);
    }, ms);

    return future.promise;
}

await sleep(1000);

If you have used C# TaskCompletionSource, then you should be familiar with the usage of Future.

Compare to the usual way of creating Promise.

function sleep(ms: number): Promise<number> {
    return new Promise((resolve) => {
        setTimeout(() => {
            // resolve/reject must in the executor closure
            resolve(ms);
        }, ms);
    });
}

await sleep(1000);
