deferred

Lets say I want to process some tasks in the synchronous manner, so I have this function: function executePromiseQueueSync(queue){ var seed = $.Deferred(), finalPromise; finalPromise = _.reduce(queue, function(memo, promise){ return memo.then(function(){ return promise.funct.apply(null, promise.argmnt); }); }, seed.promise()); seed.resolve(); return finalPromise; } Now I can use it to process some files: _.each(fileList, function(element, index, list){ _.each(element, function(el, idx, lst){ promisesQueue.push({funct: processFile, argmnt:[el, index + (len - fileList.length) ,len]}); }); });

I'm trying to figure out how can i make my code more asynchronous using twisted. A function returns a deferred object then i add a list of callbacks the first callback will be called after the deferred function provides some result through deferred_obj.callback then, in the chain of callbacks, the first callback will do something with the data and call the second callback and etc. however chained callbacks will not be considered asynchronous because they're chained and the event loop will keep firing each one of them concurrently until there is no more, right? However, if I have a deferred

It's a common pattern to implement timeout of some asynchronous function, using deffered/promise: // Create a Deferred and return its Promise function timeout(funct, args, time) { var dfd = new jQuery.Deferred(); // execute asynchronous code funct.apply(null, args); // When the asynchronous code is completed, resolve the Deferred: dfd.resolve('success'); setTimeout(function() { dfd.reject('sorry'); }, time); return dfd.promise(); } Now we can execute some asynchronous function called myFunc and handle timeout: // Attach a done and fail handler for the asyncEvent $.when( timeout(myFunc, [some

How do I get the value of the text from the example below? Q.js has an example on using Deferred: var deferred = Q.defer(); FS.readFile("foo.txt", "utf-8", function (error, text) { if (error) { deferred.reject(new Error(error)); } else { deferred.resolve(text); } }); return deferred.promise; In this case, there is a node async function being used. What I want to do is get the value of text from the deferred.promise being returned. When I console.log(deferred.promise) I get this: { promiseSend: [Function], valueOf: [Function] } What am I doing wrong (as I just copy/pasted the example from here:

How to make deferred deep linking and generate unique mobile signature. I try using IP Address, screen-size, OS version, device name but still not get succeed. The comment links to a great answer, certainly. High level, here are the steps: Your links should point to a page on your site that collects a digital fingerprint That page should collect, at minimum, IP address, OS, OS version and screen size (width and height). Should send to your server and place in a persistent store. Redis works great for this because of its fast lookup times. Also record some sort of unique identifier for which
