Module futures::future [−] [src]

Asynchronous values.

This module contains:

The Future trait.
The FutureExt trait, which provides adapters for chaining and composing futures.
Top-level future combinators like lazy which creates a future from a closure that defines its return value, and result, which constructs a future with an immediate defined value.

Structs

AndThen	Future for the `and_then` combinator, chaining a computation onto the end of another future which completes successfully.
CatchUnwind	Future for the `catch_unwind` combinator.
Empty	A future which is never resolved.
ErrInto	Future for the `err_into` combinator, changing the error type of a future.
Flatten	Future for the `flatten` combinator.
FlattenStream	Future for the `flatten_stream` combinator, flattening a future-of-a-stream to get just the result of the final stream as a stream.
Fuse	A future which "fuses" a future once it's been resolved.
FutureOption	A future representing a value which may or may not be present.
FutureResult	A future representing a value that is immediately ready.
Inspect	Do something with the item of a future, passing it on.
IntoStream	A type which converts a `Future` into a `Stream` containing a single element.
Join	Future for the `join` combinator, waiting for two futures to complete.
Join3	Future for the `join3` combinator, waiting for three futures to complete.
Join4	Future for the `join4` combinator, waiting for four futures to complete.
Join5	Future for the `join5` combinator, waiting for five futures to complete.
JoinAll	A future which takes a list of futures and resolves with a vector of the completed values.
Lazy	A future which defers creation of the actual future until the future is `poll`ed.
LoopFn	A future implementing a tail-recursive loop.
Map	Future for the `map` combinator, changing the type of a future.
MapErr	Future for the `map_err` combinator, changing the error type of a future.
OrElse	Future for the `or_else` combinator, chaining a computation onto the end of a future which fails with an error.
PollFn	A future which adapts a function returning `Poll`.
Select	Future for the `select` combinator, waiting for one of two differently-typed futures to complete.
SelectAll	Future for the `select_all` combinator, waiting for one of any of a list of futures to complete.
SelectOk	Future for the `select_ok` combinator, waiting for one of any of a list of futures to successfully complete. Unlike `select_all`, this future ignores all but the last error, if there are any.
Shared	A future that is cloneable and can be polled in multiple threads. Use `Future::shared()` method to convert any future into a `Shared` future.
SharedError	A wrapped error of the original future that is cloneable and implements Deref for ease of use.
SharedItem	A wrapped item of the original future that is cloneable and implements Deref for ease of use.
Then	Future for the `then` combinator, chaining computations on the end of another future regardless of its outcome.

Enums

Either	The enum `Either` with variants `Left` and `Right` is a general purpose sum type with two cases.
Loop	An enum describing whether to `break` or `continue` a `loop_fn` loop.

Traits

Future	A future represents an asychronous computation that may fail.
FutureExt	An extension trait for `Future`s that provides a variety of convenient combinator functions.
IntoFuture	Types that can be converted into a future.

Functions

empty	Creates a future which never resolves, representing a computation that never finishes.
err	Creates a new future that will immediately fail with the given error.
join_all	Creates a future which represents a collection of the results of the futures given.
lazy	Creates a new future which will eventually be the same as the one created by the closure provided.
loop_fn	Creates a new future implementing a tail-recursive loop.
ok	Creates a new future that will immediately resolve successfully to the given value.
poll_fn	Creates a new future wrapping around a function returning `Poll`.
result	Creates a new future that will immediate resolve with the given result.
select_all	Creates a new future which will select over a list of futures.
select_ok	Creates a new future which will select the first successful future over a list of futures.
