Class: Promise

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. If the item is a PCCViewer.Promise, then the output value will be the fulfillment value of the promise. If the item is thenable, then the output value will be the fulfillment value of the thenable. Otherwise, the output value will be the item.

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(reason) {
        alert("Something went wrong getting the page text. " + reason);
    }
);

// 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(reason) {
        alert("Something went wrong getting the page attributes. " + reason);
    }
);

// 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(onFulfilled, onRejected)

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	Argument	Description
onFulfilled	PCCViewer.Promise~onFulfilled	<optional>	Called if or when the promise is resolved. Optionally pass a value of null or undefined if you do not use this callback.
onRejected	PCCViewer.Promise~onRejected	<optional>	Called if or when the promise is rejected.

Returns:

PCCViewer.Promise A promise object that is resolved according to the Promises/A+ standard.

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(reason) {
        // 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. " + reason);
    }
);

// it's OK to pass a value of null (or undefined) for `onFulfilled`
viewerControl.requestPageText(1).then(
    null,
    function onRejected(reason) { ... }
);

// it's OK to ignore the onRejected parameter, or pass null or undefined
viewerControl.requestPageText(1).then(
    function onFulfilled(value) { ... }
);

Type Definitions

onFulfilled(value)

An onFulfilled callback is called if or when a PCCViewer.Promise is resolved.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
value	*	The type and value of the value argument depends on the API method that generated the Promise object. See the documentation for the method that generated the Promise.

onRejected(reason)

An onRejected callback is called if or when a PCCViewer.Promise is rejected.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
reason	*	The type and value of the reason argument depends on the API method that generated the Promise object. See the documentation for the method that generated the Promise.
