Interface Delayable<A,B>

Type Parameters:

A - argument type

B - type of returned thunk

All Known Subinterfaces:

Function<A,B>

@Applicative
public interface Delayable<A,B>

Delayables are delayed transformations that take one argument and return a thunk that will perform the processing when evaluated, by implementing a delayed(Object) method.

Method Summary

Thunk<B>	delayed(A arg) Asynchronously applies this Delayable, by returning a Thunk that will perform the actual transformation each time it is evaluated.
Thunk<B>	delayedValue(Thunk<? extends A> thunk) Asynchronously applies this Delayable on the thunk's value, by returning a Thunk that will perform the actual transformation each time it is evaluated.

Method Detail

delayed

@NonNull
Thunk<B> delayed(A arg)

a new Thunk

delayedValue

@NonNull
Thunk<B> delayedValue(@NonNull
                              Thunk<? extends A> thunk)

Asynchronously applies this Delayable on the thunk's value, by returning a Thunk that will perform the actual transformation each time it is evaluated.

Parameters:

thunk - the thunk whose value will be transformed

Returns:

a new Thunk
