1//! Converting between JavaScript `Promise`s to Rust `Future`s.
2//!
3//! This module provides a bridge for working with JavaScript `Promise` types as
4//! a Rust `Future`, and similarly contains utilities to turn a rust `Future`
5//! into a JavaScript `Promise`. This can be useful when working with
6//! asynchronous or otherwise blocking work in Rust (wasm), and provides the
7//! ability to interoperate with JavaScript events and JavaScript I/O
8//! primitives.
9//!
10//! There are three main interfaces in this module currently:
11//!
12//! 1. [**`JsFuture`**](./struct.JsFuture.html)
13//!
14//!    A type that is constructed with a `Promise` and can then be used as a
15//!    `Future<Output = Result<JsValue, JsValue>>`. This Rust future will resolve
16//!    or reject with the value coming out of the `Promise`.
17//!
18//! 2. [**`future_to_promise`**](./fn.future_to_promise.html)
19//!
20//!    Converts a Rust `Future<Output = Result<JsValue, JsValue>>` into a
21//!    JavaScript `Promise`. The future's result will translate to either a
22//!    resolved or rejected `Promise` in JavaScript.
23//!
24//! 3. [**`spawn_local`**](./fn.spawn_local.html)
25//!
26//!    Spawns a `Future<Output = ()>` on the current thread. This is the
27//!    best way to run a `Future` in Rust without sending it to JavaScript.
28//!
29//! These three items should provide enough of a bridge to interoperate the two
30//! systems and make sure that Rust/JavaScript can work together with
31//! asynchronous and I/O work.
