Extension trait for Future.

Provided Methods§

source

fn poll(&mut self, cx: &mut Context<'_>) -> Poll<Self::Output>
where Self: Unpin,

A convenience for calling Future::poll() on !Unpin types.

source

fn or<F>(self, other: F) -> Or<Self, F>
where Self: Sized, F: Future<Output = Self::Output>,

Returns the result of self or other future, preferring self if both are ready.

If you need to treat the two futures fairly without a preference for either, use the race() function or the FutureExt::race() method.

Examples
use futures_lite::future::{pending, ready, FutureExt};

assert_eq!(ready(1).or(pending()).await, 1);
assert_eq!(pending().or(ready(2)).await, 2);

// The first future wins.
assert_eq!(ready(1).or(ready(2)).await, 1);
source

fn race<F>(self, other: F) -> Race<Self, F>
where Self: Sized, F: Future<Output = Self::Output>,

Returns the result of self or other future, with no preference if both are ready.

Each time Race is polled, the two inner futures are polled in random order. Therefore, no future takes precedence over the other if both can complete at the same time.

If you have preference for one of the futures, use the or() function or the FutureExt::or() method.

Examples
use futures_lite::future::{pending, ready, FutureExt};

assert_eq!(ready(1).race(pending()).await, 1);
assert_eq!(pending().race(ready(2)).await, 2);

// One of the two futures is randomly chosen as the winner.
let res = ready(1).race(ready(2)).await;
source

fn catch_unwind(self) -> CatchUnwind<Self>
where Self: Sized + UnwindSafe,

Catches panics while polling the future.

Examples
use futures_lite::future::FutureExt;

let fut1 = async {}.catch_unwind();
let fut2 = async { panic!() }.catch_unwind();

assert!(fut1.await.is_ok());
assert!(fut2.await.is_err());
source

fn boxed<'a>(self) -> Pin<Box<dyn Future<Output = Self::Output> + Send + 'a>>
where Self: Sized + Send + 'a,

Boxes the future and changes its type to dyn Future + Send + 'a.

Examples
use futures_lite::future::{self, FutureExt};

let a = future::ready('a');
let b = future::pending();

// Futures of different types can be stored in
// the same collection when they are boxed:
let futures = vec![a.boxed(), b.boxed()];
source

fn boxed_local<'a>(self) -> Pin<Box<dyn Future<Output = Self::Output> + 'a>>
where Self: Sized + 'a,

Boxes the future and changes its type to dyn Future + 'a.

Examples
use futures_lite::future::{self, FutureExt};

let a = future::ready('a');
let b = future::pending();

// Futures of different types can be stored in
// the same collection when they are boxed:
let futures = vec![a.boxed_local(), b.boxed_local()];
