#promise.rb for EventMachine

This is an implementation of promise.rb Promises for use with EventMachine.

#Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem "em_promise.rb"

And then execute:

bundle

Or install it yourself as:

gem install em_promise.rb

#Usage

A promise can be created from a plain ruby value, an EM::Deferrable, or another promise:

EMPromise.resolve(1)
 EMPromise.resolve(EM_REDIS.get("key"))
	 

You can also resolve a collection of promises, plain values, and EM::Deferrables:

EMPromise.all([
	1,
	EM_REDIS.get("key"),
	some_promise
])
	 

EM:Deferrable is also patched to support common Promise operations directly, or for conversion to a promise:

EM_REDIS.get("key").then { |x| EM_REDIS.get(x) }
 EM_REDIS.get("key").promise
	 

See also the docs for promise.rb since every EMPromise inherits from that gem's Promise class.
