reduce-future

Why?

Reduce boils down a list of values into a single values. With reduce-future, you will able to reduce one list that need execute async functions, joining the results on success callback.

Installation

Via npm:

npm install reduce-future

Features

* Reduce array list of objects, executing async operations
* Monolithic and Parallel methods
* Timeout support.
* Immediate finished when error occur.
* Unified error handling.
* No magic on finished callback, just one done function.

Test on node

$ git clone [email protected]:pflima92/reduce-future.git
$ cd reduce-future && npm install

Example

var _rf = require('reduce-future');

function getPersonService(id, cb) {

	// If id generated is GREATER that 5000 call err callback
	if(id > 5000){

		cb('has id > 5000', null);
		return;
	}

	// Execute callback of success
	cb(null, {
		id : id,
		name : 'Person ' + id
	});
}


//Generate random id's
var ids = [];
for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++) {

	ids.push(Math.floor(Math.random() * 1000) + 1);
}

// Create CompletableFuture instance
// When call parallel() indicates that alghoritm is a parallel process
// When call reduce() indicates that alghoritm is a monolitich process
_rf.parallel()
	.addAll(ids) //Add all ids to be processed
	.next(function(el, context, next, fail) {
		
		//Define the each iteration flow
		
		//Call external services
		getPersonService(el, function(err, resp) {
			
			if(err){
				
				//Indicates that reduce flow should be stopped
				fail(err);
			}
			
			//Set the context populating response
			context[el] = resp;
			
			//Notify CompletableFuture that this call has executed with success
			next(context);
		});
	}).error(function(error) {
		
		//Callback of error

		// if any getPersonService call fail will show: ==> has id > 500 message.
		console.error('fail: '  + error); 
		
	}).done(function(context) {
	
		//Success callback
		
		console.info(context);
		
		 /* ==> { '30': { id: 30, name: 'Person 30' },
			  '38': { id: 38, name: 'Person 38' },
			  '42': { id: 42, name: 'Person 42' },
			  '43': { id: 43, name: 'Person 43' },
			  '48': { id: 48, name: 'Person 48' },
			  '64': { id: 64, name: 'Person 64' },
			  '70': { id: 70, name: 'Person 70' },
			  '71': { id: 71, name: 'Person 71' },
			  '73': { id: 73, name: 'Person 73' },
			  '85': { id: 85, name: 'Person 85' } }*/
	});

API

reduce

Create new CompletabeFuture class with default options.

parallel

Create new CompletabeFuture class with parallel option marked with true.

CompletableFuture

Class (ES6) responsible for manage reduce future features.

.add(Object)

Add element to CompletableFuture, can be called any times that is needed, return your own instance.

.addAll(Array)

Add array and concat at elements of CompletableFuture, can be called any times that is needed, return your own instance.

.next(Function)

Add function that will be called on each iteration of CompletableFuture execution

The callback of next future need be signed like:

function(el, context, next, fail){

}

.fail(Function)

Add error callback. Is called when next function call fail() method.

.done(Function)

Function that receive the callback parameter, responsible for join the results of interration
