IO::Async::Future(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation IO::Async::Future(3)NAME
"IO::Async::Future" - use Future with IO::Async
SYNOPSIS
use IO::Async::Loop;
my $loop = IO::Async::Loop->new;
my $future = $loop->new_future;
$loop->watch_time( after => 3, code => sub { $future->done( "Done" ) } );
print $future->get, "\n";
DESCRIPTION
This subclass of Future stores a reference to the IO::Async::Loop
instance that created it, allowing the "await" method to block until
the Future is ready. These objects should not be constructed directly;
instead the "new_future" method on the containing Loop should be used.
For a full description on how to use Futures, see the Future
documentation.
CONSTRUCTORS
New "IO::Async::Future" objects should be constructed by using the
following methods on the "Loop". For more detail see the
IO::Async::Loop documentation.
$future = $loop->new_future
Returns a new pending Future.
$future = $loop->delay_future( %args )
Returns a new Future that will become done at a given time.
$future = $loop->timeout_future( %args )
Returns a new Future that will become failed at a given time.
METHODS
$loop = $future->loop
Returns the underlying "IO::Async::Loop" object.
