*One new proposal for EcmaScript.*
Promised Functions
Like async/await, the promised functions would be preceded by a keyword. In
the case, promised, it would change the default behavior of the function,
making it behave as a promise.
I will use as an example a classic sleep function:
function sleep(forHowLong) {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
setTimeout(function() {
resolve();
/** * For reject: * * reject(Error('Some
error')); */
}, forHowLong);
});
}
I think to avoid the huge amount of callbacks, there should be a syntax
similar to this:
promised function sleep(forHowLong) {
setTimeout(function() {
this.resolve(); // could even create a keyword like "resolve"
/** * For reject: * * this.reject(Error('Some error')); */
}, forHowLong);
}
Note that the hypothetical keyword "promised" before the function statement
makes it act as a promise.
Just a crazy idea I had. :)
