Promise-aware lapply/map
Similar to base::lapply() or purrr::map, but promise-aware: the .f
function is permitted to return promises, and while lapply returns a list,
promise_map returns a promise that resolves to a similar list (of resolved
values only, no promises).
promise_map(.x, .f, ...)
.x |
A vector (atomic or list) or an expression object (but not a promise). Other objects (including classed objects) will be coerced by base::as.list. |
.f |
The function to be applied to each element of |

Optional arguments to |
promise_map processes elements of .x serially; that is, if .f(.x[[1]])
returns a promise, then .f(.x[[2]]) will not be invoked until that promise
is resolved. If any such promise rejects (errors), then the promise returned
by promise_map immediately rejects with that err.
A promise that resolves to a list (of values, not promises).
# Waits x seconds, then returns x*10

resolve(x*10)
