In the example below, the call to L creates a code reference that we can pass to L as a callback, and that leads to the next closure in the series when executed. use Mojo::IOLoop; # Instead of nested closures we now have a simple chain of steps my $delay = Mojo::IOLoop->delay( sub { my $delay = shift; Mojo::IOLoop->timer(3 => $delay->begin); }, sub { my $delay = shift; say '3 seconds'; Mojo::IOLoop->timer(3 => $delay->begin); }, sub { my $delay = shift; say '6 seconds'; Mojo::IOLoop->timer(3 => $delay->begin); }, sub { my $delay = shift; say '9 seconds'; } ); $delay->wait; Another positive side effect of this pattern is that we do not need to call L and L manually, because we know exactly when our chain of L has reached the end. So L can stop the event loop automatically if it had to be started at all in the first place. =head1 ATTRIBUTES L inherits all attributes from L. =head1 METHODS L inherits all methods from L and implements the following new ones. =head2 begin my $cb = $delay->begin; my $cb = $delay->begin($offset); my $cb = $delay->begin($offset, $len); Indicate an active event by incrementing the event counter, the returned code reference can be used as a callback, and needs to be executed when the event has completed to decrement the event counter again. When all code references generated by this method have been executed and the event counter has reached zero, L will continue. # Capture all arguments except for the first one (invocant) my $delay = Mojo::IOLoop->delay(sub { my ($delay, $err, $stream) = @_; ... }); Mojo::IOLoop->client({port => 3000} => $delay->begin); $delay->wait; Arguments passed to the returned code reference are spliced with the given offset and length, defaulting to an offset of C<1> with no default length. The arguments are then combined in the same order L was called, and passed together to the next step. # Capture all arguments my $delay = Mojo::IOLoop->delay(sub { my ($delay, $loop, $err, $stream) = @_; ... }); Mojo::IOLoop->client({port => 3000} => $delay->begin(0)); $delay->wait; # Capture only the second argument my $delay = Mojo::IOLoop->delay(sub { my ($delay, $err) = @_; ... }); Mojo::IOLoop->client({port => 3000} => $delay->begin(1, 1)); $delay->wait; # Capture and combine arguments my $delay = Mojo::IOLoop->delay(sub { my ($delay, $three_err, $three_stream, $four_err, $four_stream) = @_; ... }); Mojo::IOLoop->client({port => 3000} => $delay->begin); Mojo::IOLoop->client({port => 4000} => $delay->begin); $delay->wait; =head2 pass $delay = $delay->pass; $delay = $delay->pass(@args); Shortcut for passing values between L. # Longer version $delay->begin(0)->(@args); =head2 steps $delay = $delay->steps(sub {...}, sub {...}); Sequentialize multiple events, every time the event counter reaches zero a callback will run, the first one automatically runs during the next reactor tick unless it is delayed by incrementing the event counter. This chain will continue until there are no remaining callbacks, a callback does not increment the event counter or an exception gets thrown in a callback. Finishing the chain will also result in the promise being fulfilled, or if an exception got thrown it will be rejected. =head1 SEE ALSO L, L, L. =cut
