= async-fu

async-fu improve your code with abilities to run long task in threaded way

== Examples

=== Simple usage

require 'rubygems'
require 'async_fu'

class YourClass1
  def hello
    p 'start'
    p 'list ' + Thread.list.join( ' ')
    p 'main ' + Thread.main.to_s
    p 'this ' + Thread.current.to_s
    p 'end'
  end
end

af = AsyncFu.new(YourClass1.new)
af.hello

=== Inheritance usage

require 'rubygems'
require 'async_fu'

class YourClass2 < AsyncFu
  def hello
    p 'start'
    p 'list ' + Thread.list.join( ' ')
    p 'main ' + Thread.main.to_s
    p 'this ' + Thread.current.to_s
    p 'end'
  end
end

ai = YourClass2.new
ai.hello

=== Thread exit solution

You don't need more using join method to lock threads, if you not use it for some reasons.

AsyncFu catch exit of ruby program and check for live threads pass main thread until they ended.

If you don't need this futures, you can switch it off by using exit method of AsyncFu class.

== TODO

=== 1.x.x

• callbacks

=== 2.x.x

• add mixin style

  class YourClass include async-fu end
