+ // summary:
+ // Encapsulates a sequence of callbacks in response to a value that
+ // may not yet be available. This is modeled after the Deferred class
+ // from Twisted <http://twistedmatrix.com>.
+ // description:
+ // JavaScript has no threads, and even if it did, threads are hard.
+ // Deferreds are a way of abstracting non-blocking events, such as the
+ // final response to an XMLHttpRequest. Deferreds create a promise to
+ // return a response a some point in the future and an easy way to
+ // register your interest in receiving that response.
+ //
+ // The most important methods for Deffered users are:
+ //
+ // * addCallback(handler)
+ // * addErrback(handler)
+ // * callback(result)
+ // * errback(result)
+ //
+ // In general, when a function returns a Deferred, users then "fill
+ // in" the second half of the contract by registering callbacks and
+ // error handlers. You may register as many callback and errback
+ // handlers as you like and they will be executed in the order
+ // registered when a result is provided. Usually this result is
+ // provided as the result of an asynchronous operation. The code
+ // "managing" the Deferred (the code that made the promise to provide
+ // an answer later) will use the callback() and errback() methods to
+ // communicate with registered listeners about the result of the
+ // operation. At this time, all registered result handlers are called
+ // *with the most recent result value*.
+ //
+ // Deferred callback handlers are treated as a chain, and each item in
+ // the chain is required to return a value that will be fed into
+ // successive handlers. The most minimal callback may be registered
+ // like this:
+ //
+ // | var d = new dojo.Deferred();
+ // | d.addCallback(function(result){ return result; });
+ //
+ // Perhaps the most common mistake when first using Deferreds is to
+ // forget to return a value (in most cases, the value you were
+ // passed).
+ //
+ // The sequence of callbacks is internally represented as a list of
+ // 2-tuples containing the callback/errback pair. For example, the
+ // following call sequence:
+ //
+ // | var d = new dojo.Deferred();
+ // | d.addCallback(myCallback);
+ // | d.addErrback(myErrback);
+ // | d.addBoth(myBoth);
+ // | d.addCallbacks(myCallback, myErrback);
+ //
+ // is translated into a Deferred with the following internal
+ // representation:
+ //
+ // | [
+ // | [myCallback, null],
+ // | [null, myErrback],
+ // | [myBoth, myBoth],
+ // | [myCallback, myErrback]
+ // | ]
+ //
+ // The Deferred also keeps track of its current status (fired). Its
+ // status may be one of three things:
+ //
+ // * -1: no value yet (initial condition)
+ // * 0: success
+ // * 1: error
+ //
+ // A Deferred will be in the error state if one of the following three
+ // conditions are met:
+ //
+ // 1. The result given to callback or errback is "instanceof" Error
+ // 2. The previous callback or errback raised an exception while
+ // executing
+ // 3. The previous callback or errback returned a value
+ // "instanceof" Error
+ //
+ // Otherwise, the Deferred will be in the success state. The state of
+ // the Deferred determines the next element in the callback sequence
+ // to run.
+ //
+ // When a callback or errback occurs with the example deferred chain,
+ // something equivalent to the following will happen (imagine
+ // that exceptions are caught and returned):
+ //
+ // | // d.callback(result) or d.errback(result)
+ // | if(!(result instanceof Error)){
+ // | result = myCallback(result);
+ // | }
+ // | if(result instanceof Error){
+ // | result = myErrback(result);
+ // | }
+ // | result = myBoth(result);
+ // | if(result instanceof Error){
+ // | result = myErrback(result);
+ // | }else{
+ // | result = myCallback(result);
+ // | }
+ //
+ // The result is then stored away in case another step is added to the
+ // callback sequence. Since the Deferred already has a value
+ // available, any new callbacks added will be called immediately.
+ //
+ // There are two other "advanced" details about this implementation
+ // that are useful:
+ //
+ // Callbacks are allowed to return Deferred instances themselves, so
+ // you can build complicated sequences of events with ease.
+ //
+ // The creator of the Deferred may specify a canceller. The canceller
+ // is a function that will be called if Deferred.cancel is called
+ // before the Deferred fires. You can use this to implement clean
+ // aborting of an XMLHttpRequest, etc. Note that cancel will fire the
+ // deferred with a CancelledError (unless your canceller returns
+ // another kind of error), so the errbacks should be prepared to
+ // handle that error for cancellable Deferreds.
+ // example:
+ // | var deferred = new dojo.Deferred();
+ // | setTimeout(function(){ deferred.callback({success: true}); }, 1000);
+ // | return deferred;
+ // example:
+ // Deferred objects are often used when making code asynchronous. It
+ // may be easiest to write functions in a synchronous manner and then
+ // split code using a deferred to trigger a response to a long-lived
+ // operation. For example, instead of register a callback function to
+ // denote when a rendering operation completes, the function can
+ // simply return a deferred:
+ //
+ // | // callback style:
+ // | function renderLotsOfData(data, callback){
+ // | var success = false
+ // | try{
+ // | for(var x in data){
+ // | renderDataitem(data[x]);
+ // | }
+ // | success = true;
+ // | }catch(e){ }
+ // | if(callback){
+ // | callback(success);
+ // | }
+ // | }
+ //
+ // | // using callback style
+ // | renderLotsOfData(someDataObj, function(success){
+ // | // handles success or failure
+ // | if(!success){
+ // | promptUserToRecover();
+ // | }
+ // | });
+ // | // NOTE: no way to add another callback here!!
+ // example:
+ // Using a Deferred doesn't simplify the sending code any, but it
+ // provides a standard interface for callers and senders alike,
+ // providing both with a simple way to service multiple callbacks for
+ // an operation and freeing both sides from worrying about details
+ // such as "did this get called already?". With Deferreds, new
+ // callbacks can be added at any time.
+ //
+ // | // Deferred style:
+ // | function renderLotsOfData(data){
+ // | var d = new dojo.Deferred();
+ // | try{
+ // | for(var x in data){
+ // | renderDataitem(data[x]);
+ // | }
+ // | d.callback(true);
+ // | }catch(e){
+ // | d.errback(new Error("rendering failed"));
+ // | }
+ // | return d;
+ // | }
+ //
+ // | // using Deferred style
+ // | renderLotsOfData(someDataObj).addErrback(function(){
+ // | promptUserToRecover();
+ // | });
+ // | // NOTE: addErrback and addCallback both return the Deferred
+ // | // again, so we could chain adding callbacks or save the
+ // | // deferred for later should we need to be notified again.
+ // example:
+ // In this example, renderLotsOfData is syncrhonous and so both
+ // versions are pretty artificial. Putting the data display on a
+ // timeout helps show why Deferreds rock:
+ //
+ // | // Deferred style and async func
+ // | function renderLotsOfData(data){
+ // | var d = new dojo.Deferred();
+ // | setTimeout(function(){
+ // | try{
+ // | for(var x in data){
+ // | renderDataitem(data[x]);
+ // | }
+ // | d.callback(true);
+ // | }catch(e){
+ // | d.errback(new Error("rendering failed"));
+ // | }
+ // | }, 100);
+ // | return d;
+ // | }
+ //
+ // | // using Deferred style
+ // | renderLotsOfData(someDataObj).addErrback(function(){
+ // | promptUserToRecover();
+ // | });
+ //
+ // Note that the caller doesn't have to change his code at all to
+ // handle the asynchronous case.
