Deferred
A Promise that can be resolved externally
Installation
yarn add @woubuc/deferred
The library is written in Typescript to types are included.
Usage
import Deferred from '@woubuc/deferred';
// Use it as a regular promise
let promise = new Deferred((resolve, reject) => {
resolve('done');
});
// Or resolve it externally
promise.resolve('done');
// Or omit the promise body altogether
let deferred = new Deferred();
deferred.resolve('done');
API
let deferred = new Deferred<T>(promiseCallback);
Creates a new Deferred promise. Takes a (resolve, reject)
callback just like a regular promise.
<T>
: Type of the promise resolve value
deferred.resolve(value : T);
Resolves the promise with value
deferred.reject(error ?: any);
Rejects the promise with an optional error
.
Notes
- Extends the native
Promise
object, so it should be fully compatible with regular promises - Resolving and rejecting follows the same rules as with regular promises (i.e. a promise can only be settled once)
- Resolving the promise externally will not stop or code inside the constructor callback from executing
