    Description
    default BiConsumer<C,Throwable>
    complete()
    Returns a BiConsumer that, when invoked, completes this Promise.

    complete(BiConsumer<T,Throwable> fn)
    Returns a Promise that, when completed, invokes the given BiConsumer function.
    default void

    • NOOP

      static final Promise<?> NOOP

      Shared instance whose methods are implemented empty,

      use noop() to ease type inference.

  • Method Details

    • succeed

      default void succeed(C result)

      Callback to invoke when the operation succeeds.

      Parameters:
      result - the result
      See Also:

    • fail

      default void fail(Throwable failure)

      Callback to invoke when the operation fails.

      Parameters:
      failure - the operation failure

    • complete

      default BiConsumer<C,Throwable> complete()

      Returns a BiConsumer that, when invoked, completes this Promise.

      Typical usage is with CompletableFuture:

      
 public void process(ServerMessage message, Promise<Boolean> promise) {
     CompletableFuture.supplyAsync(() -> asyncOperation(message))
             .whenComplete(promise.complete());
 }
      Returns:
      a BiConsumer that completes this Promise
      See Also:

    • noop

      static <T> Promise<T> noop()
      Type Parameters:
      T - the type of the empty result
      Returns:
      a Promise whose methods are implemented empty.

    • from

      static <T> Promise<T> from(Consumer<T> succeed, Consumer<Throwable> fail)
      Type Parameters:
      T - the type of the result value
      Parameters:
      succeed - the Consumer to call in case of successful completion
      fail - the Consumer to call in case of failed completion
      Returns:
      a Promise from the given consumers

    • complete

      static <T> Promise<T> complete(BiConsumer<T,Throwable> fn)

      Returns a Promise that, when completed, invokes the given BiConsumer function.

      Type Parameters:
      T - the type of the result value
      Parameters:
      fn - the function to invoke when the Promise is completed
      Returns:
      a Promise that invokes the BiConsumer function
