PromiseKit

http://promisekit.org/api/

Modern development is highly asynchronous: isn’t it about time we had tools that made programming asynchronously powerful, easy and delightful?

UIApplication.sharedApplication().networkActivityIndicatorVisible = true

when(fetchImage(), getLocation()).then { image, location in
    self.imageView.image = image;
    self.label.text = "Buy your cat a house in \(location)"
}.always {
    UIApplication.sharedApplication().networkActivityIndicatorVisible = false
}.error { error in
    UIAlertView(…).show()
}

PromiseKit is a thoughtful and complete implementation of promises for iOS and OS X with first-class support for both Objective-C and Swift.

PromiseKit 3

In Swift 2.0 catch and defer became reserved keywords mandating we rename our functions with these names. This forced a major semantic version change on PromiseKit and thus we took the opportunity to make other minor (source compatability breaking) improvements.

Thus if you cannot afford to adapt to PromiseKit 3 but still want to use Xcode-7.0/Swift-2.0 we provide a minimal changes branch where catch and defer are renamed catch_ and defer_ and all other changes are the bare minimum to make PromiseKit 2 compile against Swift 2.

If you still are using Xcode 6 and Swift 1.2 then use PromiseKit 2.

PromiseKit 2

PromiseKit 2 contains many interesting and important additions. Check out our our release announcement for full details.

How To Get Started

Check out the complete, comprehensive PromiseKit documentation.
Read the API documentation, (note the documentation is not 100% currently as CocoaDocs is not good with Swift, you may have better luck reading the comments in the sources).
Integrate promises into your existing projects.

Quick Start Guide

CocoaPods

use_frameworks!

pod "PromiseKit", "~> 2.0"

Carthage

github "mxcl/PromiseKit" ~> 2.0

Note: In order to avoid linking nearly all system frameworks with PromiseKit, the convenience categories have not been included with the Carthage framework . You must manually copy the categories you need in from the Carthage checkout.

Standalone Distributions

iOS 8 & OS X 10.9 Frameworks (Binaries)

Please note, the preferred way to integrate PromiseKit is CocoaPods or Carthage.

iOS 7 And Below

Neither CocoaPods or Carthage will install PromiseKit 2 for an iOS 7 target. Your options are:

pod "PromiseKit", "~> 1.5" †‡
Use our iOS 7 EZ-Bake
Download our pre-built static framework (coming soon!)

† There is no Swift support with PromiseKit 1.x installed via CocoaPods.
‡ PromiseKit 1.x will work as far back as iOS 5 if required.

Donations

PromiseKit is hundreds of hours of work almost completely by just me: Max Howell. I thoroughly enjoyed making PromiseKit, but nevertheless if you have found it useful then your bitcoin will give me a warm fuzzy feeling from my head right down to my toes: 1JDbV5zuym3jFw4kBCc5Z758maUD8e4dKR.
