A set of utilities for working with Promises with particular focus
on abort-ability using AbortSignals.
For more about this library, you can look at an in-depth article in english.
詳しい説明のためにこのライブラリについての記事を読んでください。
Provide sturdy Promise utils that make it easier to write asynchronous code that is both performant
and saves on unnecessary operations by making it easier to use AbortSignals.
The library has a partial focus on Typescript utility as TypeScript comes with its own
set of problems.
Additionally to the common Consento contribution guidelines, this repository is eager to be dissolved into standard projects. If you find one of the utils presented here useful in a more common context (e.g. Node.js repo, TypeScript or w3c) then we would find it awesome if you could promote it to find its way there so we can remove it from this library.
We also appreciate pointers to projects that may offer a better solution than the solutions presented in this repo!
bubbleAbort()- tiny helper for dealing with abort signalscheckpoint()- comfortable helper for dealing with abort signalscleanupPromise()- versatile promise variant that allows react-style hook cleanupscomposeAbort()- compose an abort-signal into sub-variants.isPromiseLike()- typescript type-check helperraceWithSignal()- races several promises, all but the first will be abortedwrapTimeout()- wraps an async function to have an optional timeout
Simple function that throws an AbortError if an AbortSignal happens to be aborted.
Usage:
const { bubbleAbort } = require('@consento/promise/bubbleAbort')
async function longRunning ({ signal } = {}) {
let result = ''
for await (const data of internalIterator()) {
bubbleAbort(signal) // Will throw an error if the signal is aborted
result += data
}
return result
}Allows the creation of a checkpoint function that aborts an async script if a signal is aborted.
Usage:
const { checkpoint } = require('@consento/promise/checkpoint')
async function longRunning ({ signal }: {}) {
const cp = checkpoint(signal)
let result
for (const data of internalIterator()) {
cp() // you can use the checkpoint as-is
result += data
// passing-in a template function is going to execute that
// template function only it the signal is not aborted.
const foo = await cp(async () => 'bar')
}
return result
}cleanupPromise((resolve<T>, reject, signal, resetTimeout) => () => void, [{ timeout?: number, signal?: AbortSignal}]): Promise<T>
Versatile custom Promise implementation that allows to execute an async cleanup operation after a promise is resolved or rejected.
Usage:
import { cleanupPromise } = require('@consento/promise/cleanupPromise')
const result = await cleanupPromise((resolve, reject, signal) => {
setTimeout(resolve, Math.random() * 500) // Resolve & reject work like in regular promises
setTimeout(reject, Math.random() * 500)
const abortHandler = () => {
reject(new Error('aborted'))
}
// If no signal is necessary, the signal will not be provided.
signal?.addEventListener('abort', abortHandler)
return () => {
// Executed after resolve or reject is called.
signal?.removeEventListener('abort', abortHandler)
}
})
cleanupPromise(..., { timeout: 500, signal }) // You can also pass-in a parent signal or a timeout!
cleanupPromise((resolve, reject): void => {}) // You can also use it like a regular promiseCreates a new AbortController-compatible instance
that can be aborted both with the abort operation and
a passed-in signal.
Usage:
const { composeAbort } = require('@consento/promise/composeAbort')
const { AbortController } = require('abort-controller')
const main = new AbortController()
const composed = composeAbort(main.signal)
main.abort() // Will both abort main and composed
composed.abort() // Will abort only the composed
const other = composeAbort(null) // The signal is optional, allows for flexibility of an abortsignal.TypeScript util that helps to identify if a promise is a PromiseLike instance.
Usage:
import { isPromiseLike } from '@consento/promise/isPromiseLike'
async function foo (input: any) {
if (isPromiseLike(input)) {
// do something async
} else {
// just sync away
}
}Similar to Promise.race but aborts all promises that don't win the race.
Usage:
const { raceWithSignal } = require('@consento/promise/raceWithSignal')
// Here the request to google will be aborted if the timeout of 500ms is reached.
await raceWithSignal(signal => {
return [
fetch('http://google.com', { signal }),
new Promise((resolve, reject) => setTimeout(reject, 500, new Error('timeout')))
]
})
await raceWithSignal(..., inputSignal) // You can also pass-in a signal that you maintain.wrapTimeout((signal?: AbortSignal, resetTimeout: () => void) => Promise<T>, [{ timeout?: number, signal?: AbortSignal}]): Promise<T>
Wraps an async operation and passes-in a signal that will be marked as aborted when a given timeout set's in.
Usage:
const { wrapTimeout } = require('@consento/promise/wrapTimeout')
wrapTimeout(async (signal, resetTimeout) => {
if (signal) { // Signal may be undefined if timeout=0 is specified.
signal.addEventListener('abort', () => {
// now we should abort our work.
})
}
resetTimeout() // With reset-timeout you can reset a given input timeout, this may be useful to delay a timeout after user interaction.
}, { timeout: 500 })
