MultiplexPromise

Multiplex a Promise execution

This module is intended to wait for the same promise result in different parallels executions.

As an example it could be used to wait for a token renew inside an axios interceptor.

Be aware that if your promise returns a non primitive value all the awaiters will get the same reference so clone it if you need to modify it.

Quick example:
``js
async function meassureExecution(op: () => Promise) {
var hrstart = process.hrtime()
var start = new Date()
await op();
var end = new Date().getTime() - start.getTime();
const hrend = process.hrtime(hrstart);
console.info('Execution time: %dms', end)
console.log('Execution time (hr): %dms', (hrend[0] * 1000) + (hrend[1] / 1000000))
}
export async function testMultiplex() {
let executionsCount = 0;
const longTask = () => {
return new Promise(resolve => {
setTimeout(() => {
for (let a = 0; a < 100000000; a++) { }
executionsCount++;
resolve(1);
}, 100);
});
}
const longTaskMultiplexed = new MultiplexPromise(longTask);
let promises: Promise[] = [];
let resultCounter = 0;
for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
promises.push(longTask().then(() => resultCounter++));
}
console.log('No Multiplex')
await meassureExecution(() => Promise.all(promises));
console.log('Executions: ' + executionsCount);
console.log('Results count: ' + resultCounter);
resultCounter = 0;
executionsCount = 0;
promises = [];
for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
promises.push(longTaskMultiplexed.run().then(() => resultCounter++));
}
console.log('Multiplex')
await meassureExecution(() => Promise.all(promises));
console.log('Executions: ' + executionsCount);
console.log('Results count: ' + resultCounter);
}
`
