How to implement progressive Results on RPC?

[treck]

Hi.

I would like to work with progressive Results on RPC as the data amount is bigger as usual and the client can still process some minor datasets, but i didn't found a working example.

1. A RPC is a method that typically returns one result. How to handle progress data in such a method?
2. I read through the code and found that the RPC can return a Promise on which notify Callback will trigger such a progressive Result Message, but "notify" is marked DEPRECATED, and as PHP doesn't support async from scratch i see, that every Promise resolver is called in the constuctor leading to resolving the promise before it's returned. Am i wrong or did someone ever get this to work using Promises?

I would love to see some working progressive Call-Result with Thruway, if someone has one.

Regards, Oliver

I found a working solution myself, but would like to know if there are easier solutions.

$loop = $this->loop;
        return new Promise(function (callable $resolve, callable $reject, callable $notify) use ($loop) {
        // $loop->futureTick(... is needed, cause resolver is executed immediately
            $loop->futureTick(function() use ($resolve, $notify) {
                for ($x=0;$x<5;$x++) {
                   $notify([$x, 'Progress No. ' . $x, rand(0,9999)]);
                    await(\React\Promise\Timer\sleep(0.001)); // without this StreamData doesn't get sent
                    sleep(2); // some blocking actions
                }
                $resolve(['Done']);
            });
        });
