//! Converting between JavaScript `Promise`s to Rust `Future`s. //! //! This crate provides a bridge for working with JavaScript `Promise` types as //! a Rust `Future`, and similarly contains utilities to turn a rust `Future` //! into a JavaScript `Promise`. This can be useful when working with //! asynchronous or otherwise blocking work in Rust (wasm), and provides the //! ability to interoperate with JavaScript events and JavaScript I/O //! primitives. //! //! There are two main interfaces in this crate currently: //! //! 1. [**`JsFuture`**](./struct.JsFuture.html) //! //! A type that is constructed with a `Promise` and can then be used as a //! `Future<Item = JsValue, Error = JsValue>`. This Rust future will resolve //! or reject with the value coming out of the `Promise`. //! //! 2. [**`future_to_promise`**](./fn.future_to_promise.html) //! //! Converts a Rust `Future<Item = JsValue, Error = JsValue>` into a //! JavaScript `Promise`. The future's result will translate to either a //! rejected or resolved `Promise` in JavaScript. //! //! These two items should provide enough of a bridge to interoperate the two //! systems and make sure that Rust/JavaScript can work together with //! asynchronous and I/O work. //! //! # Example Usage //! //! This example wraps JavaScript's `Promise.resolve()` into a Rust `Future` for //! running tasks on the next tick of the micro task queue. The futures built on //! top of it can be scheduled for execution by conversion into a JavaScript //! `Promise`. //! //! ```rust,no_run //! #![feature(use_extern_macros)] //! //! extern crate futures; //! extern crate js_sys; //! extern crate wasm_bindgen; //! extern crate wasm_bindgen_futures; //! //! use futures::{Async, Future, Poll}; //! use wasm_bindgen::prelude::*; //! use wasm_bindgen_futures::{JsFuture, future_to_promise}; //! //! /// A future that becomes ready after a tick of the micro task queue. //! pub struct NextTick { //! inner: JsFuture, //! } //! //! impl NextTick { //! /// Construct a new `NextTick` future. //! pub fn new() -> NextTick { //! // Create a resolved promise that will run its callbacks on the next //! // tick of the micro task queue. //! let promise = js_sys::Promise::resolve(&JsValue::NULL); //! // Convert the promise into a `JsFuture`. //! let inner = JsFuture::from(promise); //!
