FutureResource

future-resource allows you to wait on a final value being set for a placeholder, which may occur asynchronously.

Installation

gem install future-resource

require 'future-resource'

fr = FutureResource.new

Thread.new do
  sleep 10
  fr.resource = :foo
end

p fr.set_yet?
p fr.resource

You will see false printed first, followed by a delay before :foo is printed

Fork the project.
Make your feature addition or bug fix.
Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history.
- If you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself so I can ignore when I pull
Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
