A Future with some added sugar.

A set of Future helper functions (mostly) compatible with Node.js counterpart Promise libraries such as Bluebird. Supports concurrency & cancellation.

The library exposes static methods under a single class F4 (pronounced Future) to avoid accendential pollution of the global namespace, maybe a bit of an anti-pattern in Dart land, then again maybe some of helpers should have been natively supported by Dart itself.

Currently supports the following helper methods: all, map, chain, props, one, forEach, create, and reflect.

The AbortController class exposes means for cancellation of Futures and is compatible with its Fetch API counterpart.

PS: Not tested in production, written over a weekend for me to learn Dart, PRs are welcome.

Usage

A simple usage example:

import 'package:f4/f4.dart';

main() async
{
  final r = await F4.map([1,2,3,4], (int i)=>Future.value(i), concurrency:2);
  print(r); //[1,2,3,4]
}

Complete usage example under /example.
