Promise Kit

The promise-kit package provides a simple abstraction for creating and managing a promise. It exports, makePromiseKit which is a utility function used to create a Promise and its associated resolver and rejector functions. This is particularly useful in asynchronous programming, where you might need to create a promise and resolve or reject it at a later point in time. Note that this serves as a "ponyfill" for Promise.withResolvers, making certain accommodations to ensure that the resulting promises can pipeline messages through @endo/eventual-send.

Usage

Here’s an example of how makePromiseKit might be used in an Agoric smart contract or JavaScript program:

Basic Example

import { makePromiseKit } from '@endo/promise-kit';

function asyncOperation() {

  const { promise, resolve, reject } = makePromiseKit();
  setTimeout(() => {
    const success = true; // Simulating success or failure
    if (success) {
      resolve("Operation successful!");
    } else {
      reject("Operation failed!");
    }
  }, 2000); 

  return promise;
}

async function handleAsyncOperation() {
  try {
    const result = await asyncOperation();
    console.log(result); // "Operation successful!"
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error); // "Operation failed!"
  }
}

handleAsyncOperation();
Copy

Creating Multiple Promise Kits

You can create multiple promise kits for managing various asynchronous tasks.

const kit1 = makePromiseKit();
const kit2 = makePromiseKit();

kit1.promise.then(value => console.log('Kit 1 resolved with:', value));
kit2.promise.then(value => console.log('Kit 2 resolved with:', value));

kit1.resolve('First success');
kit2.resolve('Second success');
