NAME

       "IO::Async::Future" - use Future with IO::Async

SYNOPSIS

        use IO::Async::Loop;

        my $loop = IO::Async::Loop->new;

        my $future = $loop->new_future;

        $loop->watch_time( after => 3, code => sub { $future->done( "Done" ) } );

        print $future->get, "\n";

DESCRIPTION

       This subclass of Future stores a reference to the IO::Async::Loop instance that created
       it, allowing the "await" method to block until the Future is ready. These objects should
       not be constructed directly; instead the "new_future" method on the containing Loop should
       be used.

       For a full description on how to use Futures, see the Future documentation.

CONSTRUCTORS

       New "IO::Async::Future" objects should be constructed by using the following methods on
       the "Loop". For more detail see the IO::Async::Loop documentation.

   $future = $loop->new_future
       Returns a new pending Future.

   $future = $loop->delay_future( %args )
       Returns a new Future that will become done at a given time.

   $future = $loop->timeout_future( %args )
       Returns a new Future that will become failed at a given time.

METHODS

   $loop = $future->loop
       Returns the underlying "IO::Async::Loop" object.
