README

Obsolete In HHVM 3.11+

These functions have been merged into HHVM, and we expected them to be included from 3.11.0 onwards.

Installation

  • add hhvm/asio-utilities to your composer.json

ResultOrExceptionWrapper

When awaiting multiple handles, it can be useful to isolate exceptions from each; ResultOrExceptionWrapper provides this:

// HH\Asio\wrap(T): Awaitable<ResultOrExceptionWrapper<T>>
$w = await wrap(some_async_function_that_may_throw());
if ($w->isSucceeded()) {
  $result = $w->getResult();
  ...
} else {
  $exception = $w->getException();
  ...
}

Mapping and Filtering Functions

HHVM 3.6 and above include HH\Asio\v() and HH\Asio\m() to make it easy to wait on multiple wait handles; it's fairly common to want to combine this with another option, such as mapping or filtering with an async function.

These functions are named according to their attributes:

First, how they take and return arguments according to types:

  • v - Vector
  • m - Map

Then, either one or two letters to indicate the operation:

  • f - filter
  • fk - filter with key
  • m - map
  • mk - map with keys

Finally, there is optionally a trailing 'w' to indicate that you want a result or exception wrapper. For 'fw' functions, the behavior is that:

  • if the filter function returns true, the wrapped element is returned
  • if the filter function returns false, the element is omitted
  • if the filter function throws an exception, the wrapped exception is returned

This is also available without a filter or mapping operation - vw() and mw().

Function List

All functions are in the HH\Asio namespace; v() and m() are built in to HHVM 3.6 and newer.
