About

FutoIn AsyncSteps mimics traditional threads of execution in single threaded event loop. It supports all features including cancellation, exit handlers, thread local storage and synchronization primitives.

Additionally, it supports async/Promise integration as step through as.await() API.

Documentation --> FutoIn Guide

Reference implementation of:

FTN12: FutoIn Async API
Version: 1.13

Spec: FTN12: FutoIn Async API v1.x

Author: Andrey Galkin

Installation for Node.js

Command line:

$ npm install futoin-asyncsteps --save

$ yarn add futoin-asyncsteps

Hint: checkout FutoIn CID for all tools setup.

Browser installation

Pre-built ES5 CJS modules are available under es5/. These modules can be used with webpack without transpiler - default "browser" entry point points to ES5 version.

Webpack dists are also available under dist/ folder, but their usage should be limited to sites without build process. There are "full", "lite" and "development" version builds.

Warning: older browsers should use dist/polyfill-asyncsteps.js for WeakMap polyfill used in synchronization primitives.

The following globals are available:

$as - global reference to futoin-asyncsteps module
futoin - global namespace-like object for name clashing cases
futoin.$as - another reference to futoin-asyncsteps module
FutoInError - global reference to standard FutoIn error codes object
futoin.AsyncSteps - global reference to futoin-asyncsteps.AsyncSteps class

Examples

Simple steps

const $as = require('futoin-asyncsteps');

const root_as = $as();

root_as.add( ( as ) => {
    as.success( "MyValue" );
    // as.success() is implicit, if not called
} ).add(
    ( as, arg ) => {
        if ( arg === 'MyValue' ) {
            as.add( ( as ) => {
                as.error( 'MyError', 'Something bad has happened' );
            });
        }
    },
    ( as, err ) => {
        if ( err === 'MyError' ) {
            as.success( 'NotSoBad' );
            // as.add() acts as implicit as.success()
        }
    }
);

root_as.add( ( as, arg ) => {
    if ( arg === 'NotSoBad' ) {
        console.log( 'MyError was ignored: ' + as.state.error_info );
    }
    
    as.state.p1arg = 'abc';
    as.state.p2arg = 'xyz';
    
    const p = as.parallel();
    
    p.add( ( as ) => {
        console.log( 'Parallel Step 1' );
        
        as.add( ( as ) => {
            console.log( 'Parallel Step 1.1' );
            as.state.p1 = as.state.p1arg + '1';
        } );
    } );
    p.add( ( as ) =>{
        console.log( 'Parallel Step 2' );
        
        as.add( ( as ) => {
            console.log( 'Parallel Step 2.1' );
            as.state.p2 = as.state.p2arg + '2';
        } );
    } );
} ).add( ( as ) => {
    console.log( 'Parallel 1 result: ' + as.state.p1 );
    console.log( 'Parallel 2 result: ' + as.state.p2 );
} );
            
root_as.execute();

Result:

MyError was ignored: Something bad has happened
Parallel Step 1
Parallel Step 2
Parallel Step 1.1
Parallel Step 2.1
Parallel 1 result: abc1
Parallel 2 result: xyz2

External event wait

var async_steps = require('futoin-asyncsteps');


function dummy_service_read( success, error ){
    // We expect it calles success when data is available
    // and error, if error occurs
    // Returns some request handle
}

function dummy_service_cancel( reqhandle ){
    // We assume it cancels previously scheduled reqhandle
}

var root_as = async_steps();

root_as.add( function( as ){
    setImmediate( function(){
        as.success( 'async success()' );
    } );
    
    as.setTimeout( 10 ); // ms
} ).add(
    function( as, arg ){
        console.log( arg );
        
        var reqhandle = dummy_service_read(
            function( data ){
                as.success( data );
            },
            function( err ){
                if ( err !== 'SomeSpecificCancelCode' )
                {
                    as.error( err );
                }
            }
        );
        
        as.setCancel(function(as){
            dummy_service_cancel( reqhandle );
        });
        
        // OPTIONAL. Set timeout of 1s
        as.setTimeout( 1000 );
    },
    function( as, err )
    {
        console.log( err + ": " + as.state.error_info );
    }
);

root_as.execute();

Result:

async success()
Timeout:

Model steps (avoid closure creation overhead on repetitive execution)

var async_steps = require('futoin-asyncsteps');


var model_as = async_steps();
model_as.state.var = 'Vanilla';

model_as.add( function(as){
    console.log('-----');
    console.log( 'Hi! I am from model_as' );
    console.log( 'State.var: ' + as.state.var );
    as.state.var = 'Dirty';
});

for ( var i = 0; i < 3; ++i )
{
    var root_as = async_steps();
    root_as.copyFrom( model_as );
    root_as.add( function(as){
        as.add(function( as ){
            console.log('>> The first inner step');
        });
        as.copyFrom( model_as );
    });
    root_as.execute();
}

Result. Please note the order as only the first step is executed in the loop. The rest is executed quasi-parallel by nature of async programming. The model_as closure gets executed 6 times, but created only once.

State.var: Vanilla

Simple Async Loops

var async_steps = require('futoin-asyncsteps');

var root_as = async_steps();

root_as.add(
    function( as ){
        as.repeat( 3, function( as, i ) {
            console.log( "> Repeat: " + i );
        } );
        
        as.forEach( [ 1, 2, 3 ], function( as, k, v ) {
            console.log( "> forEach: " + k + " = " + v );
        } );
        
        as.forEach( { a: 1, b: 2, c: 3 }, function( as, k, v ) {
            console.log( "> forEach: " + k + " = " + v );
        } );
    }
);

root_as.execute();

Result:

> Repeat: 0
> Repeat: 1
> Repeat: 2
> forEach: 0 = 1
> forEach: 1 = 2
> forEach: 2 = 3
> forEach: a = 1
> forEach: b = 2
> forEach: c = 3

Browser example

<script src="../dist/futoin-asyncsteps.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">

.add(function(as){
    console.log( 'Step1' );
})
.add(function(as){
    console.log( 'Step2' );
})
.execute();
</script>

Mutex example

'use strict';

const $as = require('futoin-asyncsteps');
// Note: Mutex requires ES6 and is not provided as member of $as
const Mutex = require( 'futoin-asyncsteps/Mutex' );

const mtx = new Mutex();
let curr_concurrency = 0;

for ( let i = 0; i < 3; ++i )
{
    $as()
        .sync(mtx, (as) => {
            // regular AsyncSteps in critical section
            ++curr_concurrency;
            
            as.add((as) => {
                as.success(curr_concurrency--);
            });
        })
        .add((as, val) => {
            console.log(`Max concurrency ${i}: ${val}`);
        })
        .execute();
}

// Max concurrency 0: 1
// Max concurrency 1: 1
// Max concurrency 2: 1

Throttle example

const thrtl = new Throttle(10, 100);
const as = $as();
const p = as.parallel();
let passed = 0;

for ( let i = 0; i < 100; ++i ) {
    p.add((as) => {
        as.sync(thrtl, (as) => { passed += 1 });
    });
}

as.execute();

setTimeout(() => {
    expect(passed).to.equal(50);
}, 450);

Test case aid

// NOTE: it's not exposed through main entry point
$as_test = require( 'futoin-asyncsteps/testcase' );

// Positive test example
it( 'should ...', $as_test(
    ( as ) => {
        // some test logic
    }
) );

// Negative test example
it( 'should ...', $as_test(
    ( as ) => {
        // some test logic
        // Forced as.error('NegativeTestMustThrow') step in the end
    },
    ( as, err ) => {
        if ( err === 'ExpectedError' ) {
            as.success();
        }
    }
) );

// Access "this" provided by Mocha
it( 'should ...', $as_test(
    function( as ) {
        // note use a full function instead of a light arrow function
        this.timeout( 1e3 );
    }
) );

`async`/`await`/`Promise` integration

const func = async () => {
    // AsyncSteps can be used as Promise
    await $as().add( (as) => {} ).promise();
};

// AsyncSteps can await Promise
$as.await(func);
