[RFC] callback based asyc_request feature #14

Closed roxma closed 6 years ago

roxma commented 6 years ago

This is not a standard vim/neovim feature, But it seems to be needed for plugin communications

sketch:


let plug = yar#py3('...')

plug.asyc_request({'callback': 'callback_func', 'callback_data': {}}, method', args... )

func callback_func(callback_data, result_of_method)
  ...
endfunc

Cons:

It is hard to forward the error event to callback_func. We'll need global state in vimscript for this behavior

Close for now, I'll reopen when I have a more concrete use case
