A Promise represents a proxy for a value not necessarily known when the promise
is created. It allows to associate handlers to an asynchronous action’s eventual
success value or failure reason. This lets asynchronous methods return values like
synchronous methods: instead of the final value, the asynchronous method returns
a promise of having a value at some point in the future.

iPromise’s implementation of Promise class conforms to javascript specification.

Installation

Copy this line into your podfile:

pod 'iPromise', '~> 1.1'

Make sure to also add !use_frameworks

Examples

Simple async task

func computeAnswerToLifeTheUniverseAndEverything() -> Int {
    // ... computing
    return 42
}

async(computeAnswerToLifeTheUniverseAndEverything)
    .success { result in
        // 7.5 million years later
        print("Ok, but what is (result) the answer to?")
    }   

Catching failure

enum Error: ErrorType {
    case FailureAndError
}

async {
    return 0.5
}.then({ result in
    if result > 0.5 {
        print("This is quite a large number")
    }
    else {
        // we simply cannot accept a number this small!
        throw Error.FailureAndError
    }
}).then({ result in
    // this won't be called
}).then({ result in
    // this won't be called
}).failure({ (error) -> Double in
    // but this will
    switch error as! Error {
    case .FailureAndError:
        print("Long computation has failed miserably :(")
    }

    // let's recover
    return 0.6
}).then ({ result -> Double in
    if result > 0.5 {
        print("This is quite a large number")
    }
    return 0.1
})

Returning a promise from resolution handler:

Note: I’m working on allowing shorthand methods here (sucesss() and failure).
For now use the a little syntax-heavy then() when returning promises from handlers.

Promise { fulfill, reject in
    fulfill(10)
}.then({ result in
    return Promise { fulfill, reject in
        fulfill(100)
    }
}).then({ result in
    // result is 100!
    print(result)
})

Docs

Documentation is available here, but
since it was generated from code comments you can also read the code, it’s not that
much :)
