AsyncRun

Executes the given code asynchronously and returns to you a BoxFuture object which inherits from CompletableFuture.

This way you can create fluent asynchronous code that can be chained and composed.

Method Signature

AsyncRun(callback=[function], executor=[any])

Arguments

Argument	Type	Required	Description	Default
callback	function	true	The code to execute asynchronously, this can be a closure or lambda.
executor	any	false	The executor to use for the asynchronous execution. This can be an instance of an Executor class, or the name of a registered executor in the AsyncService.

Examples

Execute code asynchronously

Runs the callback in a separate thread and returns a BoxFuture.

future = asyncRun( () => sleep( 100 ) && return "done" );
writeOutput( future.get() );

Result: done

Chain async operations with then()

asyncRun( () => 10 )
    .then( ( v ) => v * 2 )
    .then( ( v ) => v + 5 )
    .thenAccept( ( v ) => writeOutput( v ) );

Result: 25

Using the runAsync() alias

future = runAsync( () => "hello from async" );
writeOutput( future.get() );

Result: hello from async
