A parametric interface implemented by events with a payload that can be waited on. Matched with signalable.
Verse using statement |
using { /Verse.org/Concurrency } |
awaitable<public>(payload:any)<computes>:awaitable(payload)
This function is a parametric type, meaning it returns a class or interface rather than a value or object instance.
Parameters
awaitable takes the following parameters:
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
payload |
any |
Generated Interface
awaitable returns the parametric interface awaitable(payload).
Attributes and Effects
The following attributes and effects determine how awaitable behaves and how you can use it in your programs. For the complete list of attribute and effect specifiers, see the Specifiers Page.
| Attribute | Meaning |
|---|---|
public |
The identifier is universally accessible. You can use this on modules, classes, interfaces, structs, enums, methods, and data. |
| Effect | Meaning |
|---|---|
computes |
This effect requires that the function has no side effects, and is not guaranteed to complete. There’s an unchecked requirement that the function, when provided with the same arguments, produces the same result. Any function that doesn’t have the native specifier that would otherwise have the converges effect is a good example of using the computes effect. |
