An extension trait for Futures that provides a variety of convenient adapters.

Provided Methods§

source

fn map<U, F>(self, f: F) -> Map<Self, F>
where F: FnOnce(Self::Output) -> U, Self: Sized,

Map this future’s output to a different type, returning a new future of the resulting type.

This function is similar to the Option::map or Iterator::map where it will change the type of the underlying future. This is useful to chain along a computation once a future has been resolved.

Note that this function consumes the receiving future and returns a wrapped version of it, similar to the existing map methods in the standard library.

§Examples
use futures::future::FutureExt;

let future = async { 1 };
let new_future = future.map(|x| x + 3);
assert_eq!(new_future.await, 4);
source

fn map_into<U>(self) -> MapInto<Self, U>
where Self::Output: Into<U>, Self: Sized,

Map this future’s output to a different type, returning a new future of the resulting type.

This function is equivalent to calling map(Into::into) but allows naming the return type.

source

fn then<Fut, F>(self, f: F) -> Then<Self, Fut, F>
where F: FnOnce(Self::Output) -> Fut, Fut: Future, Self: Sized,

Chain on a computation for when a future finished, passing the result of the future to the provided closure f.

The returned value of the closure must implement the Future trait and can represent some more work to be done before the composed future is finished.

The closure f is only run after successful completion of the self future.

Note that this function consumes the receiving future and returns a wrapped version of it.

§Examples
use futures::future::FutureExt;

let future_of_1 = async { 1 };
let future_of_4 = future_of_1.then(|x| async move { x + 3 });
assert_eq!(future_of_4.await, 4);
source

fn left_future<B>(self) -> Either<Self, B>
where B: Future<Output = Self::Output>, Self: Sized,

Wrap this future in an Either future, making it the left-hand variant of that Either.

This can be used in combination with the right_future method to write if statements that evaluate to different futures in different branches.

§Examples
use futures::future::FutureExt;

let x = 6;
let future = if x < 10 {
    async { true }.left_future()
} else {
    async { false }.right_future()
};

assert_eq!(future.await, true);
source

fn right_future<A>(self) -> Either<A, Self>
where A: Future<Output = Self::Output>, Self: Sized,

Wrap this future in an Either future, making it the right-hand variant of that Either.

This can be used in combination with the left_future method to write if statements that evaluate to different futures in different branches.

§Examples
use futures::future::FutureExt;

let x = 6;
let future = if x > 10 {
    async { true }.left_future()
} else {
    async { false }.right_future()
};

assert_eq!(future.await, false);
source

fn into_stream(self) -> IntoStream<Self>
where Self: Sized,

Convert this future into a single element stream.

The returned stream contains single success if this future resolves to success or single error if this future resolves into error.

§Examples
use futures::future::FutureExt;
use futures::stream::StreamExt;

let future = async { 17 };
let stream = future.into_stream();
let collected: Vec<_> = stream.collect().await;
assert_eq!(collected, vec![17]);
source

fn flatten(self) -> Flatten<Self>
where Self::Output: Future, Self: Sized,

Flatten the execution of this future when the output of this future is itself another future.

This can be useful when combining futures together to flatten the computation out the final result.

This method is roughly equivalent to self.then(|x| x).

Note that this function consumes the receiving future and returns a wrapped version of it.

§Examples
use futures::future::FutureExt;

let nested_future = async { async { 1 } };
let future = nested_future.flatten();
assert_eq!(future.await, 1);
source

fn flatten_stream(self) -> FlattenStream<Self>
where Self::Output: Stream, Self: Sized,

Flatten the execution of this future when the successful result of this future is a stream.

This can be useful when stream initialization is deferred, and it is convenient to work with that stream as if stream was available at the call site.

Note that this function consumes this future and returns a wrapped version of it.

§Examples
use futures::future::FutureExt;
use futures::stream::{self, StreamExt};

let stream_items = vec![17, 18, 19];
let future_of_a_stream = async { stream::iter(stream_items) };

let stream = future_of_a_stream.flatten_stream();
let list: Vec<_> = stream.collect().await;
assert_eq!(list, vec![17, 18, 19]);
source

fn fuse(self) -> Fuse<Self>
where Self: Sized,

Fuse a future such that poll will never again be called once it has completed. This method can be used to turn any Future into a FusedFuture.

Normally, once a future has returned Poll::Ready from poll, any further calls could exhibit bad behavior such as blocking forever, panicking, never returning, etc. If it is known that poll may be called too often then this method can be used to ensure that it has defined semantics.

If a fused future is polled after having returned Poll::Ready previously, it will return Poll::Pending, from poll again (and will continue to do so for all future calls to poll).

This combinator will drop the underlying future as soon as it has been completed to ensure resources are reclaimed as soon as possible.

source

fn inspect<F>(self, f: F) -> Inspect<Self, F>
where F: FnOnce(&Self::Output), Self: Sized,

Do something with the output of a future before passing it on.

When using futures, you’ll often chain several of them together. While working on such code, you might want to check out what’s happening at various parts in the pipeline, without consuming the intermediate value. To do that, insert a call to inspect.

§Examples
use futures::future::FutureExt;

let future = async { 1 };
let new_future = future.inspect(|&x| println!("about to resolve: {}", x));
assert_eq!(new_future.await, 1);
source

fn unit_error(self) -> UnitError<Self>
where Self: Sized,

source

fn never_error(self) -> NeverError<Self>
where Self: Sized,

source

fn poll_unpin(&mut self, cx: &mut Context<'_>) -> Poll<Self::Output>
where Self: Unpin,

A convenience for calling Future::poll on Unpin future types.

source

fn now_or_never(self) -> Option<Self::Output>
where Self: Sized,

Evaluates and consumes the future, returning the resulting output if the future is ready after the first call to Future::poll.

If poll instead returns Poll::Pending, None is returned.

This method is useful in cases where immediacy is more important than waiting for a result. It is also convenient for quickly obtaining the value of a future that is known to always resolve immediately.

§Examples
use futures::{future::ready, future::pending};
let future_ready = ready("foobar");
let future_pending = pending::<&'static str>();

assert_eq!(future_ready.now_or_never(), Some("foobar"));
assert_eq!(future_pending.now_or_never(), None);

In cases where it is absolutely known that a future should always resolve immediately and never return Poll::Pending, this method can be combined with expect():

let future_ready = ready("foobar");

assert_eq!(future_ready.now_or_never().expect("Future not ready"), "foobar");
