Daniel Sun commented on GROOVY-9381:
------------------------------------
I polished the description of the ticket, any question and proposal will be
welcomed.
> Support async/await like ES7
> ----------------------------
>
> Key: GROOVY-9381
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-9381
> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Daniel Sun
> Priority: Major
>
> Here is the proposed syntax and backend API(Java's {{CompletableFuture}} or
> GPars's {{Promise}}), but I think it's better for Groovy to have its own
> {{Promise}} to decouple with Java API because async/await as a language
> feature should be as stable as possible.
> {code:java}
> /**
> * 1. An async function that simulates a network API call.
> * The 'async' keyword implies it runs asynchronously without blocking.
> */
> async fetchUserData(userId) {
> println "Starting to fetch data for user ${userId}..."
>
> // Simulate a 1-second network delay.
> Thread.sleep(1000)
>
> println "Fetch successful!"
> // The 'async' function implicitly returns a "CompletableFuture" or
> "Promise" containing this value.
> return [userId: userId, name: 'Daniel']
> }
> /**
> * 2. An async function that uses 'await' to consume the result.
> */
> async processUserData() {
> println "Process started, preparing to fetch user data..."
>
> try {
> // 'await' pauses this function until fetchUserData completes
> // and returns the final result directly.
> def user = await fetchUserData(1)
>
> println "Data received: ${user}"
> return "Processing complete for ${user.name}."
>
> } catch (Exception e) {
> return "An error occurred: ${e.message}"
> }
> }
> // --- Execution ---
> println "Script starting..."
> // Kick off the entire asynchronous process.
> def future = processUserData()
> // This line executes immediately, proving the process is non-blocking.
> println "Script continues to run while user data is being fetched in the
> background..."
> def result = future.get()
> println "Script finished: ${result}"
> {code}
