TaskSlot

This is a queue for sequentially running async tasks that can be triggered by both the user and side effects.

• Blocking tasks are queued normally and are guaranteed to run.
• Side effects are queued, but aborted when anything else is queued.

JSXNo Build

import { TaskSlot } from "rvx/async";

const slot = new TaskSlot();

// Queue a blocking task:
const value = await slot.block(async () => {
    // ...
    return 42;
});

// Queue a side effect:
slot.sideEffect(async signal => {
    // "signal" is an abort signal to abort this side effect if possible.
});

import { TaskSlot } from "./rvx.js";

const slot = new TaskSlot();

// Queue a blocking task:
const value = await slot.block(async () => {
    // ...
    return 42;
});

// Queue a side effect:
slot.sideEffect(async signal => {
    // "signal" is an abort signal to abort this side effect if possible.
});

Error Handling

• Errors thrown in blocking tasks are thrown by the promise returned by the block function.
• Errors thrown in side effects will cause unhandled rejections but will not affect the queue in any other way.
