@task.flow/thread-pool v0.2.3

@task.flow/thread-pool

Thread pool scheduler for task.flow tasks. You will need to use this or an alternative scheduler to run tasks.

Usage

import Task from "task.flow"
import ThreadPool from "@task.flow/thread-pool"

const get = (url: string): Task<HTTPError, ArrayBuffer> =>
  Task.io(
    (succeed, fail) => {
      var request = new XMLHttpRequest()
      request.addEventListener("load", () => {
        succeed(request.response)
      })
      request.addEventListener("error", () => {
        fail(new HTTPError(request))
      })
      request.responseType = "arraybuffer"
      request.open("GET", url)
      request.send()
      return request
    },
    request => {
      request.abort()
    }
  )

// Note: Type checker only allows spawning Task<empty, void> so following won't
// type check.
// ThreadPool.spawn(get(myURL))

const task = get(myURL)
  .chain(content => {
    console.log("Completed HTTP GET:", content)
    return Task.succeed()
  })
  .capture(error => {
    console.error("Failed HTTP GET", error)
    return Task.succeed()
  })

ThreadPool.spawn(task)
