Members

GeneratorTask class GeneratorTask(T): A $(D_PSYMBOL GeneratorTask) is a $(D_PSYMBOL Task) that periodically returns values of type $(D_PSYMBOL T) to the caller via $(D_PSYMBOL yieldValue). This is represented as an $(D_PSYMBOL InputRange).
Task class Task(Coroutine, Args...): Schedule the execution of a fiber: wrap it in a future. A task is a subclass of Future.
TaskRepository class TaskRepository: Undocumented in source.

asCompleted auto asCompleted(EventLoop eventLoop, FutureHandle[] futures, Duration timeout): Return a generator whose values, when waited for, are Future instances in the order they complete.
ensureFuture auto ensureFuture(EventLoop eventLoop, Coroutine coroutine, Args args): Schedule the execution of a coroutine: wrap it in a future. Return a $(D_PSYMBOL Task) object.
shield auto shield(EventLoop eventLoop, Coroutine coroutine, Args args): Wait for a future, shielding it from cancellation.
sleep auto sleep(EventLoop eventLoop, Duration delay, Result result): Create a coroutine that completes after a given time. If $(D_PSYMBOL result) is provided, it is produced to the caller when the coroutine completes.
wait auto wait(EventLoop eventLoop, Future[] futures, Duration timeout, ReturnWhen returnWhen): Wait for the Future instances given by $(PARAM futures) to complete.
waitFor auto waitFor(EventLoop eventLoop, Future future, Duration timeout): Wait for the single Future to complete with timeout. If timeout is 0 or negative, block until the future completes.
yieldValue void yieldValue(T value): Yield a value to the caller of the currently executing generator task. The type of the yielded value and the type of the generator must be the same.
