Constructor
new Promise()
The Promise constructor is for internal use only. Promise objects returned by other API methods are created with this constructor.
Methods
(static) all(promises)
Returns a promise that is fulfilled when all of the input promises are fulfilled. The returned promise is fulfilled with an array of the fulfillment values for all of the input promises.
If any of the promises are rejected, then the returned promise will be rejected with the reason of that rejected promise. If rejected, there will be guarantee of the state all promises in the promises array, some have been resolved and some may still be pending.
Parameters:
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
promises |
Array.<(PCCViewer.Promise|thenable|*)> |
An array of values that will be resolved. If a value is not a PCCViewer.Promise object, then this method will create a new PCCViewer.Promise and fulfill it with the value. Resolution of various types is as follows.
|
Throws:
-
If the
promises
argument is not an array. -
- Type
- TypeError
Example
var viewerControl = $("#myElement").pccViewer(...).viewerControl;
// Get page text for specific pages
PCCViewer.Promise.all([
viewerControl.requestPageText(1),
viewerControl.requestPageText(2)]).then(
function onFulfilled(values) {
// Values is an array that contains the text of pages 1 & 2.
var page1Text = values[0];
var page2Text = values[1];
},
function onRejected(error) {
alert("Something went wrong getting the page text. " + (error.message ? error.message : error));
}
);
// Get attributes for all pages
var allPages = _.range(1, viewerControl.getPageCount() + 1); // Using Underscore.js - generates an array like [1, 2, ..., 12]
var pageAttributePromises = _.map(allPages, viewerControl.requestPageAttributes, viewerControl); // Using Underscore.js
PCCViewer.Promise.all(pageAttributePromises).then(
function onFulfilled(allPageAttributes) {
console.log(JSON.stringify(allPageAttributes));
},
function onRejected(error) {
alert("Something went wrong getting the page attributes. " + (error.message ? error.message : error));
}
);
// it's OK to pass a value that is not a promise
PCCViewer.Promise.all([
viewerControl.requestPageAttributes(1),
true]).then(
function(values) {
// Values is an array that contains the text of pages 1 and the value `true`.
var page1Text = values[0]; // text of page 1
var otherValue = values[1]; // true
}
);
then(onFulfilledopt, onRejectedopt) → {PCCViewer.Promise}
Use .then(...)
to register callbacks to access the current or eventual value, or reason, of the promise.
A promise is in one of three states: pending, resolved, rejected. The onFulfilled
callback will be called when a promise is resolved, or if a promise is already resolved, then the onFulfilled
callback will be called immediately. The onRejected
callback will be called when a promise is rejected, or if a promise is already rejected, then the onRejected
callback will be called immediately.
Parameters:
Name | Type | Attributes | Description |
---|---|---|---|
onFulfilled |
PCCViewer.Promise~onFulfilled | <optional> |
Called if or when the promise is resolved. Optionally pass a value of |
onRejected |
PCCViewer.Promise~onRejected | <optional> |
Called if or when the promise is rejected. |
Returns:
A promise object that is resolved according to the Promises/A+ standard.
- Type
- PCCViewer.Promise
Example
var viewerControl = $("#myElement").pccViewer(...).viewerControl;
// a basic example
viewerControl.requestPageText(1).then(
function onFulfilled(value) {
// according to the definition of requestPageText, the promise will be resolved with the text
// of the page.
var pageText = value;
},
function onRejected(error) {
// according to the definition of requestPageText, the promise will be rejected if there is
// an error extracting text for the document.
alert("Something went wrong getting the text of page 1. " + (error.message ? error.message : error));
}
);
// it's OK to pass a value of null (or undefined) for `onFulfilled`
viewerControl.requestPageText(1).then(
null,
function onRejected(error) { ... }
);
// it's OK to ignore the onRejected parameter, or pass null or undefined
viewerControl.requestPageText(1).then(
function onFulfilled(value) { ... }
);
