Asynchronous library for D
To use this package, run the following command in your project's root directory:
Manual usage
Put the following dependency into your project's dependences section:
asynchronous
This library provides infrastructure for writing concurrent code using coroutines, multiplexing I/O access over sockets and other resources, running network clients and servers, and other related primitives.
It implements most of the python 3 [asyncio API](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio.html).
API Reference
Can be found at: http://dcarp.github.io/asynchronous/index.html
Implementation status
- Timers (done)
- Futures, Tasks (done)
- Sockets (done)
- Streams (done)
- Subprocesses (not implemented)
- Locks and semaphores (done)
- Queues (done)
Why yet another async library? What is wrong with vibe.d?
asynchronous
is a library and not a framework- it is not web-oriented, compatible with
std.socket
- arguably nicer API
- event loop start/stop control
- uses
@Coroutine
UDA to mark functions that could trigger a task (fiber) switch, although this is not enforced yet by the compiler.
Examples and tutorials
Some small examples can be found in the test directory or as unittests. For larger examples please use the Python/asyncio resources.
Please keep in mind that, in contrast with Python/asyncio, in D a coroutine MUST be called from within a Task, otherwise it causes a run-time error on the fiber switch. Basic rule: if not called from another coroutine, any coroutine call need to be wrapped by ensureFuture
or EventLoop.createTask
