+promise.wait()+ :: |
|
|
|
Blocks futher execution until the promise emits a success or error event. |
|
|
|
Events setup before the call to +promise.wait()+ was made may still be |
|
|
|
emitted and executed while +promise.wait()+ is blocking. |

|
If there was a single argument to the +"success"+ event then it is returned. |
|
|
|
If there were multiple arguments to +"success"+ then they are returned as an |
|
|
|
array. |

If +"error"+ was emitted instead, +wait()+ throws an error. |

*IMPORTANT* +promise.wait()+ is not a true fiber/coroutine. If any other |
|
|
|
promises are created and made to wait while the first promise waits, the |
|
|
|
first promise's wait will not return until all others return. The benefit of |
|
|
|
this is a simple implementation and the event loop does not get blocked. |
|
|
|
Disadvantage is the possibility of situations where the promise stack grows |
|
|
|
infinitely large because promises keep getting created and keep being told |
|
|
|
to wait(). Use +promise.wait()+ sparingly--probably best used only during |
|
|
|
program setup, not during busy server activity. |
