leap

Simple flow-control tool for coffee-script. It makes async coding much easier.

Examples

  leap ->
    #first async function 
  ->
    #second async function 
  ->
    # all functions are executed in parallel 
 
  leap ->
    # do something async 
    @next results
  .then (res) ->
    # do something async with results 
    async_function res@
  .and (res) ->
    # do something else with it in parallel 
    another_async_function res@
  .then ([first_res, second_res]) ->
    # use data from async results of previous step 
 
  leap ->
    async_function ["Kinks""Beatles""United States of America"]@
  .then.map (rockband) ->
    async_function "The #{rockband}"@
  .then (bands) ->
    bands.should.be.deep.equal [
      "The Kinks"
      "The Beatles"
      "The United States of America"
    ]
  .rescue (err) ->
    #handle all async errors in one place 

Usage

  • install via npm

    npm install leap
    
  • require in your code

    leap = require 'leap'

API

  • leap(functions...)

    Run one ore more functions as a first step of sequence. All functions are called with callback as first parameter. Also, callback is a context of all functions.

    leap (callback) ->
      fs.readFile 'file'callback

    is the same as

    leap ->
      fs.readFile 'file'@
  • .then(functions...)

    Add one o more functions to be executed after previous step. All functions are called with results of previous step as first parameter, callback as second parameter. Also, callback is a context.

    leap ->
      fs.readFile 'file'@
    .then (content) ->
      db.create content@
    (content) ->
      some_api_request.find content@
    .then ([db_entry, api_response]) ->
      # 
  • .and(functions...)

    Add functions to current step. All functions get results from previous step as first parameter. Also, callback is a context and second parameter.

    leap ->
      model.countLikes user@
    .and  ->
      model.countViews user@
    .then ([likes, views]) ->
      addToResponse likesviews
      do @
    .and ([likes, views]) ->
      saveToCache userlikesviews@
  • .rescue(handler)

    All errors stops execution of a flow and processed by handler. Error is passed by first argument

      leap ->
        fs.readFile 'test1'@
      ->
        fs.readFile 'test2'@
      .rescue (err) ->
        console.log err
