HttpPromise

A generic promise type for the Http class. Having the benefit of a regular Promise object, it also provides the ability to fluidly chain calls back to the Http object using afterResult()

afterResult( function func(http, result) )

Parameters	Description
func	A function that takes an Http object and the asynchronous result.

An asynchronous outcome handler.

When the asynchronous operation completes, the func function will be called with an instance to the http object and the result so the logical next operation can be performed.

http()

Parameters	Description
None	N/A

Immediately returns the http object that created the promise, allowing fluid calls to be made against the http object.

Note

This does NOT wait for the asynchronous operation to complete. The asychronous handlers, then(), catch() or afterResult() should be called prior to this.

then(when: (result: T) => T | PromiseLike)

Parameters	Description
when	function that takes the asynchronous result object and performs the next processing step.

An asynchronous outcome handler. Performs like the standard Promise then() function.

Returns another HttpPromise object.

catch(when: (err: string) => void): HttpPromise;

Parameters	Description
when	function that takes the error cause string.

An asynchronous outcome handler. Performs like the standard Promise catch() function.
