react-deferred v0.7.0

react-deferred

react-deferred is a plugin for react, the flow control rules engine, which adds integration with jQuery-style Deferred promises

For more information on react the lightweight flow control rules engine: http://github.com/jeffbski/react

Goals

• make it easy to use React defined functions, promise style and in this case with promises that are compatible with jQuery
• if a react defined flow function is called without a callback, then a Deferred promise is returned
• if promises are passed in as input parameters, they will automatically be resolved before tasks are called

Installing

npm install react-deferred

OR

Pull from github - http://github.com/jeffbski/react-deferred

Example

var react = require('react');
require('react-deferred'); // enable deferred promise integration
// require('react/lib/log-events').logEvents(react); // to enable stderr logging of events

// OR alternatively just
// var react = require('react-deferred');  // it passes through the react main fn

function loadData(x, y, cb) {
  setTimeout(function () {
    cb(null, x * y);
  }, 10);
}

function loadUser(uid, cb) {
  setTimeout(function () {
    cb(null, uid + '_user');
  }, 10);
}

function render(user, data) {
  return user + data;
}


var fn = react('myflow', 'a, b, uid, cb -> err, renderedOut',
  loadData, 'a, b, cb -> err, c',
  loadUser, 'uid, cb -> err, user',
  render, 'user, c -> renderedOut'
);


var promise = fn(2, 3, 'joe');  // calling without passing in cb
promise.then(function (renderedOut) {
  console.error('renderedOut:', renderedOut);
});
