A Promise represents a proxy for a value not necessarily known when the promise is created. It allows to associate handlers to an asynchronous action’s eventual success value or failure reason. This lets asynchronous methods return values like synchronous methods: instead of the final value, the asynchronous method returns a promise of having a value at some point in the future.
iPromise’s implementation of Promise class conforms to javascript specification.

Make sure to also add !use_frameworks
func computeAnswerToLifeTheUniverseAndEverything() -> Int {
// ... computing
return 42
}
async(computeAnswerToLifeTheUniverseAndEverything)
.success { result in
// 7.5 million years later
print("Ok, but what is \(result) the answer to?")
} enum Error: ErrorType {
case FailureAndError
}
async {
return 0.5
}.then({ result in
if result > 0.5 {
print("This is quite a large number")
}
else {
// we simply cannot accept a number this small!
throw Error.FailureAndError
}
}).then({ result in
// this won't be called
}).then({ result in
// this won't be called
}).failure({ (error) -> Double in
// but this will
switch error as! Error {
case .FailureAndError:
print("Long computation has failed miserably :(")
}
// let's recover
return 0.6
}).then ({ result -> Double in
if result > 0.5 {
print("This is quite a large number")
}
return 0.1
})Note: I’m working on allowing shorthand methods here (sucesss() and failure). For now use the a little syntax-heavy then() when returning promises from handlers.
Promise { fulfill, reject in
fulfill(10)
}.then({ result in
return Promise { fulfill, reject in
fulfill(100)
}
}).then({ result in
// result is 100!
print(result)
})Documentation is available here, but since it was generated from code comments you can also read the code, it’s not that much :)
