AsyncResult (Vert.x Stack - Docs 4.5.11 API)

All Known Subinterfaces:

CompositeFuture, Future<T>, Timer
```
public interface AsyncResult<T>
```
Encapsulates the result of an asynchronous operation.
Many operations in Vert.x APIs provide results back by passing an instance of this in a Handler.
The result can either have failed or succeeded.
If it failed then the cause of the failure is available with cause().
If it succeeded then the actual result is available with result()

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods Default Methods
Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`Throwable`	`cause()` A Throwable describing failure.
`boolean`	`failed()` Did it fail?
`default <U> AsyncResult<U>`	`map(java.util.function.Function<T,U> mapper)` Apply a `mapper` function on this async result.
`default <V> AsyncResult<V>`	`map(V value)` Map the result of this async result to a specific `value`.
`default <V> AsyncResult<V>`	`mapEmpty()` Map the result of this async result to `null`.
`default AsyncResult<T>`	`otherwise(java.util.function.Function<Throwable,T> mapper)` Apply a `mapper` function on this async result.
`default AsyncResult<T>`	`otherwise(T value)` Map the failure of this async result to a specific `value`.
`default AsyncResult<T>`	`otherwiseEmpty()` Map the failure of this async result to `null`.
`T`	`result()` The result of the operation.
`boolean`	`succeeded()` Did it succeed?

- Method Detail
  - result
```
T result()
```
    The result of the operation. This will be null if the operation failed.
    
    Returns:
    
    the result or null if the operation failed.
  - cause
```
Throwable cause()
```
    A Throwable describing failure. This will be null if the operation succeeded.
    
    Returns:
    
    the cause or null if the operation succeeded.
  - succeeded
```
boolean succeeded()
```
    Did it succeed?
    
    Returns:
    
    true if it succeded or false otherwise
  - failed
```
boolean failed()
```
    Did it fail?
    
    Returns:
    
    true if it failed or false otherwise
  - map
```
default <U> AsyncResult<U> map(java.util.function.Function<T,U> mapper)
```
    Apply a mapper function on this async result.
    The mapper is called with the completed value and this mapper returns a value. This value will complete the result returned by this method call.
    When this async result is failed, the failure will be propagated to the returned async result and the mapper will not be called.
    
    Parameters:
    
    mapper - the mapper function
    
    Returns:
    
    the mapped async result
  - map
```
default <V> AsyncResult<V> map(V value)
```
    Map the result of this async result to a specific value.
    When this async result succeeds, this value will succeeed the async result returned by this method call.
    When this async result fails, the failure will be propagated to the returned async result.
    
    Parameters:
    
    value - the value that eventually completes the mapped async result
    
    Returns:
    
    the mapped async result
  - mapEmpty
```
default <V> AsyncResult<V> mapEmpty()
```
    Map the result of this async result to null.
    This is a convenience for asyncResult.map((T) null) or asyncResult.map((Void) null).
    When this async result succeeds, null will succeeed the async result returned by this method call.
    When this async result fails, the failure will be propagated to the returned async result.
    
    Returns:
    
    the mapped async result
  - otherwise
```
default AsyncResult<T> otherwise(java.util.function.Function<Throwable,T> mapper)
```
    Apply a mapper function on this async result.
    The mapper is called with the failure and this mapper returns a value. This value will complete the result returned by this method call.
    When this async result is succeeded, the value will be propagated to the returned async result and the mapper will not be called.
    
    Parameters:
    
    mapper - the mapper function
    
    Returns:
    
    the mapped async result
  - otherwise
```
default AsyncResult<T> otherwise(T value)
```
    Map the failure of this async result to a specific value.
    When this async result fails, this value will succeeed the async result returned by this method call.
    When this async succeeds, the result will be propagated to the returned async result.
    
    Parameters:
    
    value - the value that eventually completes the mapped async result
    
    Returns:
    
    the mapped async result
  - otherwiseEmpty
```
default AsyncResult<T> otherwiseEmpty()
```
    Map the failure of this async result to null.
    This is a convenience for asyncResult.otherwise((T) null).
    When this async result fails, the null will succeeed the async result returned by this method call.
    When this async succeeds, the result will be propagated to the returned async result.
    
    Returns:
    
    the mapped async result
