Getting Started

• AMD - Clone or submodule the repo and then use a package config to point your AMD loader at when.js.

{ name: 'when', location: 'path/to/when', main: 'when' }

Alternatively, you can simply drop the when.js file into your AMD loader's baseDir.

• Node -

• script tag - when.js will create a global named when

<script src="path/to/when.js"></script>

Concepts

• Deferred
• Promise
• Resolver
• when() - can't we just use .then()?
• Proposed Promises/A spec by Kris Zyp

Getting along

• Using with Dojo
• Using with jQuery

Examples

• Examples
• when.reduce() - Simple, asynchronous map-reduce
  • when.js + Dojo
  • when.js + jQuery, and no need for $.pipe()
• when/apply - Promises and Arrays helper module
• when/delay - Delayed promises
• when/timeout - Promises with timeouts
• when/cancelable - Cancelable Deferred
