Toplevel functions

The functions below are broadly useful when writing Async programs, and so are made available at the toplevel.

val choice : 'a Async_kernel.Deferred.t -> ('a -> 'b) -> 'b Async_kernel.Deferred.Choice.t
val don't_wait_for : unit Async_kernel.Deferred.t -> unit
val never : unit -> 'a Async_kernel.Deferred.t
val try_with : (?extract_exn:bool -> ?run:[ `Now | `Schedule ] -> ?rest:[ `Call of exn -> unit | `Log | `Raise ] -> (unit -> 'a Async_kernel.Deferred.t) -> ('a, exn) Core.Result.t Async_kernel.Deferred.t) Monitor.with_optional_monitor_name
val upon : 'a Async_kernel.Deferred.t -> ('a -> unit) -> unit

Infix operators and Let_syntax support

include Core.Monad.Infix with type 'a t := 'a Async_kernel.Deferred.t
val (>>>) : 'a Async_kernel.Deferred.t -> ('a -> unit) -> unit

equivalent to Deferred.upon.

equivalent to Deferred.Result.bind.

val (>>|?) : ('a, 'b) Async_kernel.Deferred.Result.t -> ('a -> 'c) -> ('c, 'b) Async_kernel.Deferred.Result.t

equivalent to Deferred.Result.map.

include module type of struct include Async_kernel.Deferred.Let_syntax end
val return : 'a -> 'a Async_kernel.Deferred.t

t >>= f returns a computation that sequences the computations represented by two monad elements. The resulting computation first does t to yield a value v, and then runs the computation returned by f v.

val (>>|) : 'a Async_kernel.Deferred.t -> ('a -> 'b) -> 'b Async_kernel.Deferred.t

t >>| f is t >>= (fun a -> return (f a)).

Async_rpc

include module type of struct include Async_rpc end

module Quickcheck : sig ... end
module Expect_test_config : sig ... end

The default expect test config in code which has open Async.

module Expect_test_config_or_error : sig ... end

An alternative to Async.Deferred_or_error_expect_test_config in which %expect has type unit rather than unit Deferred.Or_error.t. This lets one write:

module Ppx_log_syntax : sig ... end
