> Sync and async trampolines, for your pleasure | ||
> Multicolor trampolining using generators (for your pleasure) | ||
## Wat | ||
## Example Usage | ||
|
||
From [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trampoline_(computing)): | ||
```js | ||
import {trampoline, syncTrampoline} from '@endo/trampoline'; | ||
|
||
/** | ||
* This function "reads a file synchronously" and returns "a list of its imports" | ||
* | ||
* @param {string} filepath Source file path | ||
* @returns {string[]} List of imports found in source | ||
*/ | ||
const findImportsSync = filepath => { | ||
// read a file, parse it for imports, return a list of import specifiers | ||
// (synchronously) | ||
// ... | ||
}; | ||
|
||
/** | ||
* This function "reads a file asynchronously" and returns "a list of its imports" | ||
* | ||
* @param {string} filepath Source file path | ||
* @returns {Promise<string[]>} List of imports found in source | ||
*/ | ||
const findImportsAsync = async filepath => { | ||
// read a file, parse it for imports, return a list of import specifiers | ||
// (asynchronously) | ||
// ... | ||
}; | ||
|
||
/** | ||
* Recursively crawls a dependency tree to find all dependencies | ||
* | ||
* @template {string[]|Promise<string[]>} TResult | ||
* @param {ThunkFn<string, TResult>} thunk | ||
* @param {string} filename | ||
* @returns {Generator<TResult, string[], string[]>} | ||
*/ | ||
function* loadRecursive(thunk, filename) { | ||
let specifiers = yield thunk(filename); | ||
|
||
// pretend there's some de-duping, caching, | ||
// scrubbing, etc. happening here! | ||
|
||
for (const specifier of specifiers) { | ||
specifiers = [...specifiers, ...(yield* loadRecursive(thunk, specifier))]; | ||
} | ||
return specifiers; | ||
} | ||
|
||
// results are an array of all imports found in some.js' dependency tree | ||
|
||
const asyncResult = await trampoline(loadRecursive, readAsync, './some.js'); | ||
const syncResult = syncTrampoline(loadRecursive, readSync, './some.txt'); | ||
|
||
asyncResult === syncResult; // true | ||
``` | ||
|
||
In the above example, **@endo/trampoline** allows us to re-use the operations in `loadRecursive` for both sync and async execution. An implementation _without_ **@endo/trampoline** would need to duplicate the operations into two (2) discrete recursive functions—a synchronous-colored function and an asynchronous-colored function. Over time, this situation commonly leads to diverging implementations. If that _doesn't_ sound like a big deal for _whatever you're trying to do here_, then you probably don't need **@endo/trampoline**. | ||
|
||
## What is this? | ||
|
||
The pattern exposed by this library—known as [trampolining][]—helps manage control flow in a way that avoids deep recursion and potential stack overflows. It effectively "converts" recursive calls into a loop. This is especially helpful in a language like JavaScript [because reasons][proper-tail-calls]. | ||
|
||
**@endo/trampoline** provides the trampolining pattern, but in such a way that consumer can execute _either_ synchronous _or_ asynchronous operations _paired with operations common to both_. | ||
|
||
In other words, **@endo/trampoline** can help _reduce code duplication_ when recursive operations must be executed _in both sync and async_ contexts. | ||
|
||
## Install | ||
|
||
The usual sort of thing: | ||
|
||
```sh | ||
npm install @endo/trampoline | ||
``` | ||
