Futures
=======

[](#futures)

Define: **Futures** -

"Futures (also known as "promises") are objects which act as placeholders for some future result of computation. They let you express parallel and asynchronous execution with a natural syntax. There are three provided concrete Future implementations: ExecFuture for executing system commands, HTTPFuture for making HTTP requests, and QueryFuture for executing database queries." - *Facebook*

This is all true, however *this* library only supports http requests and the ability to execute system commands, asynchronously (or synchronously).

### What is it?

[](#what-is-it)

This set of files was originaly forked from Facebook's [libphutil](https://github.com/facebook/libphutil) which has some pretty nifty little tools, you should go check it out!

These libraries are for everything in the `src/future` so I've namespaced them up, cleaned up the code to follow PSR standards (not finished!) and have only tested a very small part of it; making http requests.

### Install

[](#install)

You can add this component to your project using composer:

```
{
	"require" : {
		"hazbo/futures" : "dev-master"
	}
}
```

`composer install` or `php composer.phar install`
