The idea of promises is to represent one values per a promise. For generating values over time PHP's generators are more suitable.
$consumerFn = function () {
while ($value = yield) {
// Process the value somehow.
var_dump($value);
}
};
$consumer = $consumerFn();
// Produce values anywhere in your code.
$consumer->send(1);
$consumer->send(new stdClass());
It's a basic example 1-to-1 producer/subscriber. If you want to implement more complicated schemes, it's better to use events and subscribers, like Symfony's EventDispatcher.
I don't really understand can I implement producer-consumer scheme using this library?
For example, imagine a producing function which makes some values over time, and another consuming function which takes the values. Is there a way to implement this using Promises?
