Constructor

vow.Promise([resolver])

Creates a promise object.

Parameters:

Parameter

Default value

Description

resolver

Type: Function

The function which takes the resolve and reject methods as parameters to set status and values for the created promise object.

Example:

function someAsyncMethod () {
    return new ymaps.vow.Promise(function (resolve, reject) {
        doSomeAsyncStuff(function (err, value) {
            if (err) {
                reject(err);
                return;
            }

            resolve(value);
        });
    });
}

someAsyncMethod().then(function (value) {
    console.log('The method result: ' + value);
}, function (err) {
    console.log('Error: ' + err);
});

Methods

Name

Returns

Description

done([onFulfilled[, onRejected[, onProgress[, ctx]]]])

Similar to the method vow.Promise.then, which closes the promise chain. Throws an exception if the promise object is rejected.

spread([onFulfilled[, onRejected[, ctx]]])

vow.Promise

Similar to the method vow.Promise.then, which calls the callback functions with a set of arguments (corresponding to an array) for which the promise object can be either allowed or rejected. Usually it is used in combination with methods like vow.all.

then([onFulfilled[, onRejected[, onProgress[, ctx]]]])

vow.Promise

Specifies a handler function for a promise object.

valueOf()

Object

Returns a value for an allowed promise object or a rejection reason for a rejected one.

Methods details

done

{} done([onFulfilled[, onRejected[, onProgress[, ctx]]]])

Similar to the method vow.Promise.then, which closes the promise chain. Throws an exception if the promise object is rejected.

Parameters:

Parameter

Default value

Description

onFulfilled

Type: Function

The callback function which will be called if the promise object is resolved.

onRejected

Type: Function

The callback function which will be called if the promise object is rejected.

onProgress

Type: Function

The callback function which will be called when "notifying" the promise object.

ctx

Type: Object

The execution context of the callback functions.

Example:

var deferred = ymaps.vow.defer();
deferred.reject(Error('Internal error'));
deferred.promise().done(); // Throws an exception.

spread

{vow.Promise} spread([onFulfilled[, onRejected[, ctx]]])

Similar to the method vow.Promise.then, which calls the callback functions with a set of arguments (corresponding to an array) for which the promise object can be either allowed or rejected. Usually it is used in combination with methods like vow.all.

Returns a new promise object.

Parameters:

Parameter

Default value

Description

onFulfilled

Type: Function

The callback function which will be called if the promise object is resolved.

onRejected

Type: Function

The callback function which will be called if the promise object is rejected.

ctx

Type: Object

The execution context of the callback functions.

Example:

var deferred1 = ymaps.vow.defer();
var deferred2 = ymaps.vow.defer();

ymaps.vow.all([deferred1.promise(), deferred2.promise()]).spread(function(arg1, arg2) {
    // arg1 => 1, arg2 => 'two'
});

deferred1.resolve(1);
deferred2.resolve('two');

then

{vow.Promise} then([onFulfilled[, onRejected[, onProgress[, ctx]]]])

Specifies a handler function for a promise object.

Returns a new promise object. See the specification.

Parameters:

Parameter

Default value

Description

onFulfilled

Type: Function

The callback function which will be called if the promise object is resolved.

onRejected

Type: Function

The callback function which will be called if the promise object is rejected.

onProgress

Type: Function

The callback function which will be called when "notifying" the promise object.

ctx

Type: Object

The execution context of the callback functions.

valueOf

{Object} valueOf()

Returns a value for an allowed promise object or a rejection reason for a rejected one.
