这是JavaScript中那些在现实世界中极其强大的酷炫技巧之一。
强大的实际应用场景
动作(A)等待另一个动作(B)
A正在进行,但用户想做B,而A需要先发生。
例如:社交应用,用户可以创建、保存和发布帖子。就像Medium。
<p>
Save status:
<b><span id="save-status">Not saved</span></b>
</p>
<p>
Publish status:
<b><span id="publish-status">Not published</span></b>
</p>
<button id="save">Save</button>
<button id="publish">Publish</button>

如果用户想在帖子保存时发布怎么办?
解决方案:确保在发布之前帖子已保存。
saveButton.onclick = () => {
save();
};
publishButton.onclick = async () => {
await publish();
};
let saveResolve;
let hasSaved = false;
async function save() {
hasSaved = false;
saveStatus.textContent = 'Saving...';
// ✅ Resolve promise from outside
await makeSaveRequest();
saveResolve();
hasSaved = true;
saveStatus.textContent = 'Saved';
}
async function waitForSave() {
if (!hasSaved) {
await new Promise((resolve) => {
saveResolve = resolve;
});
}
}
async function publish() {
publishStatus.textContent = 'Waiting for save...';
await waitForSave();
publishStatus.textContent = 'Published';
return;
}

当你将这个逻辑抽象成一种Deferred类时,它变得更好:
class Deferred {
constructor() {
this.promise = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
this.reject = reject;
this.resolve = resolve;
});
}
}
const deferred = new Deferred();
// Resolve from outside
deferred.resolve();
重构✅:
const deferredSave = new Deferred();
let hasSaved = false;
async function save() {
hasSaved = false;
saveStatus.textContent = 'Saving...';
// 🟢 Resolve promise from outside
await makeSaveRequest();
saveResolve();
hasSaved = true;
saveStatus.textContent = 'Saved';
}
async function waitForSave() {
if (!hasSaved) await deferredSave.promise;
}
async function publish() {
// ...
}
它的工作方式与之前完全相同:

Deferred更加清晰,这就是为什么我们有很多类似的NPM库:ts-deferred、deferred、promise-deferred...

将事件流转换为Promise
这是我多次使用过的一个很好的设置。
执行一个异步任务,实际上是在内部等待事件流触发:
// data-fetcher.js
const deferred = new Deferred();
let dataDeferred;
function startListening() {
dataDeferred = new Deferred();
eventStream.on('data', (data) => {
dataDeferred.resolve(data);
});
}
async function getData() {
return await dataDeferred.promise;
}
// client.js
const { startListening, getData } = require('./data-fetcher.js');
startListening();
// 🟢 Waits for event to happen once
const data = await getData();
最后的思考
从外部解决Promise可以解锁强大的模式。
它保持你的代码清晰和灵活,从用户操作到事件流。而像ts-deferred这样的库为我们提供了更好的处理方式。
