=head1 NAME
C<IO::Async::Future> - use L<Future> with L<IO::Async>
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Future::AsyncAwait;
use IO::Async::Loop;
my $loop = IO::Async::Loop->new;
my $future = $loop->new_future;
$loop->watch_time( after => 3, code => sub { $future->done( "Done" ) } );
print await( $future ), "\n";
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This subclass of L<Future> stores a reference to the L<IO::Async::Loop>
instance that created it, allowing the C<await> method to block until the
Future is ready. These objects should not be constructed directly; instead
the C<new_future> method on the containing Loop should be used.
For a full description on how to use Futures, see the L<Future> documentation.
=cut
=head1 CONSTRUCTORS
New C<IO::Async::Future> objects should be constructed by using the following
methods on the C<Loop>. For more detail see the L<IO::Async::Loop>
documentation.
$future = $loop->new_future;
Returns a new pending Future.
$future = $loop->delay_future( %args );
Returns a new Future that will become done at a given time.
$future = $loop->timeout_future( %args );
Returns a new Future that will become failed at a given time.

sub new
{
my $proto = shift;
my $self = $proto->SUPER::new;
my $loop;
if( ref $proto ) {
$loop = $proto->loop;
}
else {
$loop = shift;
}
if( FUTURE_HAS_UDATA ) {
$self->set_udata( loop => $loop );
}
else {
$self->{loop} = $loop;
}
return $self;
}
=head1 METHODS
=cut
=head2 loop
$loop = $future->loop;
Returns the underlying L<IO::Async::Loop> object.
=cut
sub loop
{
my $self = shift;
return FUTURE_HAS_UDATA ? $self->udata( "loop" ) : $self->{loop};
}
sub await
{
my $self = shift;
$self->loop->await( $self );
}
=head2 done_later
$future->done_later( @result );
A shortcut to calling the C<done> method in a C<later> idle watch on the
underlying Loop object. Ensures that a returned Future object is not ready
immediately, but will wait for the next IO round.
Like C<done>, returns C<$future> itself to allow easy chaining.
=cut
sub done_later
{
my $self = shift;
my @result = @_;
$self->loop->later( sub { $self->done( @result ) } );
return $self;
}
=head2 fail_later
$future->fail_later( $exception, @details );
A shortcut to calling the C<fail> method in a C<later> idle watch on the
underlying Loop object. Ensures that a returned Future object is not ready
immediately, but will wait for the next IO round.
Like C<fail>, returns C<$future> itself to allow easy chaining.
=cut
sub fail_later
{
my $self = shift;
my ( $exception, @details ) = @_;
$exception or croak "Expected a true exception";
$self->loop->later( sub { $self->fail( $exception, @details ) } );
return $self;
