@lumino/polling v2.1.3
@lumino/polling
This package provides a class for generic polling functionality (Poll
). It
also provides rate limiters (Debouncer
and Throttler
).
The Poll
class provides three different ways to "subscribe" to poll ticks:
@lumino/signaling
:Poll#ticked
is a Lumino signal that emits each time there is a poll tick.Promise
-based:Poll#tick
is a promise that resolves after every tick and only rejects when the poll is disposed.AsyncIterable
:Poll#[
Symbol.asyncIterator]
implements the async iterable protocol that allows iteration usingfor-await...of
loops.
Example usage
These are examples from the unit tests for this package. They demonstrate the three different ways polling is supported.
Using Poll#tick
promise
Here, we set up the testing state variables and create a new Poll
instance.
const expected = 'started resolved resolved';
const ticker: IPoll.Phase<any>[] = [];
const tock = (poll: Poll) => {
ticker.push(poll.state.phase);
poll.tick.then(tock).catch(() => undefined);
};
const poll = new Poll({
auto: false,
factory: () => Promise.resolve(),
frequency: { interval: 100, backoff: false }
});
Next we assign the tock
function to run after the poll ticks and
we start the poll.
void poll.tick.then(tock);
void poll.start();
And we verify that the ticker
did indeed get populated when tock
was called and the next promise was captured as well.
await sleep(1000); // Sleep for longer than the interval.
expect(ticker.join(' ').startsWith(expected)).to.equal(true);
poll.dispose();
Using Poll#ticked
signal
Here, we set up the testing state variables and create a new Poll
instance.
const poll = new Poll<void, void>({
factory: () => Promise.resolve(),
frequency: { interval: 100, backoff: false }
});
Here we connect to the ticked
signal and simply check that each
tick matches the poll state
accessor's contents.
poll.ticked.connect((_, tick) => {
expect(tick).to.equal(poll.state);
});
await sleep(1000); // Sleep for longer than the interval.
poll.dispose();
Using Poll
as an AsyncIterable
Here, we set up the testing state variables and create a new Poll
instance.
let poll: Poll;
let total = 2;
let i = 0;
poll = new Poll({
auto: false,
factory: () => Promise.resolve(++i > total ? poll.dispose() : void 0),
frequency: { interval: Poll.IMMEDIATE }
});
const expected = `started${' resolved'.repeat(total)}`;
const ticker: IPoll.Phase<any>[] = [];
Then the poll is started:
void poll.start();
Instead of connecting to the ticked
signal or awaiting the tick
promise, we can now use a for-await...of
loop:
for await (const state of poll) {
ticker.push(state.phase);
if (poll.isDisposed) {
break;
}
}
And we check to make sure the results are as expected:
// ticker and expected both equal:
// 'started resolved resolved disposed'
expect(ticker.join(' ')).to.equal(expected);
Note for consumers of async iterators
In order to use for-await...of
loops in TypeScript, you will need to use ES2018
or above in your lib
array in tsconfig.json
