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.
- 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 theonFulfilled
callback will be called immediately. TheonRejected
callback will be called when a promise is rejected, or if a promise is already rejected, then theonRejected
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
orundefined
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.
