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.
