TaskEx index #139
Description
Activity
- pinned this issue
on Mar 18, 2024 For avoidance of doubt @github-actions, while the bulk of the post is off topic, its important to note that:
The TaskEx helpers proposed here (especially Task.ignore / ValueTask.ignore from #140) remain absent from FSharp.Core as of 8.x. The closest thing added in FSharp.Core 8.0 was Task.map, which means callers can write |> Task.map ignore as a reasonable workaround today — though this is less discoverable than a dedicated Task.ignore.
Is a lie
@github-actions Please drop the sycophancy; and avoid referring to yourself in the first person for obvious reasons.
There is no
Task.ignorein anyFSharp.Coreyet, even if there should be.Next up is dealing with conflicts over time via deprecation and/or shimming:
- FSharp.Core Task/ValueTask.ignore(has requiresTypeAttribute in FSC)/map/bind/result(vs fromResult)/empty(vs CompletedTask)
- local Task.ofAsync/Async.toTask vs FSC Task.startAsyncImmediate with CT
- local vs FSharp.Core Task.ofValueTask, ValueTask.ofTask duplication (and maybe also ValueTask.ofTask as FSC does not have it)
- FSharp.Core Async.Await vs Task.toAsync / Async.ofTask / Async.ofTaskUnit (And migrating to correct Async.Await instead of Async.AwaitTask dependency to close TaskEx: AwaitTaskCorrect / Task.toAsync / Async.ofTask #141)
Replaces #128 #129
Within the F# ecosystem, there are a number of commonly used augmentations that typically get maintained as internal helpers within libraries and applications, manually copied around in various ways. Examples of such helpers:
Async.ignore/Task.ignore/ValueTask.ignoreWhile it can be argued that many of these concerns should be addressed in
FSharp.Core, these are being logged here first in an attempt to narrow down the number of suggestions, with a view to getting stable naming (and potentially a shims library of some kind as a stopgap). NOTE that building a one stop shop for lots of arbitrary helpers is a non-goal of this effort.NOTES:
