    Package structure

    The scala package contains core types like Int, Float, Array or Option which are accessible in all Scala compilation units without explicit qualification or imports.

    Notable packages include:

    Other packages exist. See the complete list on the right.

    Additional parts of the standard library are shipped as separate libraries. These include:

    • scala.reflect - Scala's reflection API (scala-reflect.jar)
    • scala.xml - XML parsing, manipulation, and serialization (scala-xml.jar)
    • scala.swing - A convenient wrapper around Java's GUI framework called Swing (scala-swing.jar)
    • scala.util.parsing - Parser combinators (scala-parser-combinators.jar)

    Automatic imports

    Identifiers in the scala package and the scala.Predef object are always in scope by default.

    Some of these identifiers are type aliases provided as shortcuts to commonly used classes. For example, List is an alias for scala.collection.immutable.List.

    Other aliases refer to classes provided by the underlying platform. For example, on the JVM, String is an alias for java.lang.String.

    Common Imports

    When working with Futures, you will often find that importing the whole concurrent package is convenient:

    import scala.concurrent._

    When using things like Futures, it is often required to have an implicit ExecutionContext in scope. The general advice for these implicits are as follows.

    If the code in question is a class or method definition, and no ExecutionContext is available, request one from the caller by adding an implicit parameter list:

    def myMethod(myParam: MyType)(implicit ec: ExecutionContext) = …
    //Or
    class MyClass(myParam: MyType)(implicit ec: ExecutionContext) { … }

    This allows the caller of the method, or creator of the instance of the class, to decide which ExecutionContext should be used.

    For typical REPL usage and experimentation, importing the global ExecutionContext is often desired.

    import scala.concurrent.ExcutionContext.Implicits.global

    Specifying Durations

    Operations often require a duration to be specified. A duration DSL is available to make defining these easier:

    import scala.concurrent.duration._
    val d: Duration = 10.seconds

    Using Futures For Non-blocking Computation

    Basic use of futures is easy with the factory method on Future, which executes a provided function asynchronously, handing you back a future result of that function without blocking the current thread. In order to create the Future you will need either an implicit or explicit ExecutionContext to be provided:

    import scala.concurrent._
    import ExecutionContext.Implicits.global  // implicit execution context
    
    val firstZebra: Future[Int] = Future {
      val source = scala.io.Source.fromFile("/etc/dictionaries-common/words")
      source.toSeq.indexOfSlice("zebra")
    }

    Avoid Blocking

    Although blocking is possible in order to await results (with a mandatory timeout duration):

    import scala.concurrent.duration._
    Await.result(firstZebra, 10.seconds)

    and although this is sometimes necessary to do, in particular for testing purposes, blocking in general is discouraged when working with Futures and concurrency in order to avoid potential deadlocks and improve performance. Instead, use callbacks or combinators to remain in the future domain:

    val animalRange: Future[Int] = for {
      aardvark <- firstAardvark
      zebra <- firstZebra
    } yield zebra - aardvark
    
    animalRange.onSuccess {
      case x if x > 500000 => println("It's a long way from Aardvark to Zebra")
    }

trait Future[+T] extends Awaitable[T]

A Future represents a value which may or may not *currently* be available, but will be available at some point, or an exception if that value could not be made available.

Asynchronous computations that yield futures are created with the Future.apply call and are computed using a supplied ExecutionContext, which can be backed by a Thread pool.

import ExecutionContext.Implicits.global
val s = "Hello"
val f: Future[String] = Future {
  s + " future!"
}
f foreach {
  msg => println(msg)
}

Abstract Value Members

  1. abstract def isCompleted: Boolean

    Returns whether the future had already been completed with a value or an exception.

    Returns whether the future had already been completed with a value or an exception.

    Note: using this method yields nondeterministic dataflow programs.

    returns

    true if the future was completed, false otherwise

  2. abstract def onComplete[U](f: (Try[T]) ⇒ U)(implicit executor: ExecutionContext): Unit

    When this future is completed, either through an exception, or a value, apply the provided function.

    When this future is completed, either through an exception, or a value, apply the provided function.

    If the future has already been completed, this will either be applied immediately or be scheduled asynchronously.

    Note that the returned value of f will be discarded.

    Since this method executes asynchronously and does not produce a return value, any non-fatal exceptions thrown will be reported to the ExecutionContext.

    Multiple callbacks may be registered; there is no guarantee that they will be executed in a particular order.

    The provided callback always runs in the provided implicit ExecutionContext, though there is no guarantee that the execute() method on the ExecutionContext will be called once per callback or that execute() will be called in the current thread. That is, the implementation may run multiple callbacks in a batch within a single execute() and it may run execute() either immediately or asynchronously. Completion of the Future must *happen-before* the invocation of the callback.

    U

    only used to accept any return type of the given callback function

    f

    the function to be executed when this Future completes

  3. abstract def ready(atMost: Duration)(implicit permit: CanAwait): Future.this.type

  6. abstract def transformWith[S](f: (Try[T]) ⇒ Future[S])(implicit executor: ExecutionContext): Future[S]

    Creates a new Future by applying the specified function, which produces a Future, to the result of this Future.

    Creates a new Future by applying the specified function, which produces a Future, to the result of this Future. If there is any non-fatal exception thrown when 'f' is applied then that exception will be propagated to the resulting future.

    S

    the type of the returned Future

    f

    function that transforms the result of this future

    returns

    a Future that will be completed with the transformed value

  7. abstract def value: Option[Try[T]]

    The current value of this Future.

    The current value of this Future.

    Note: using this method yields nondeterministic dataflow programs.

    If the future was not completed the returned value will be None. If the future was completed the value will be Some(Success(t)) if it contained a valid result, or Some(Failure(error)) if it contained an exception.

    returns

    None if the Future wasn't completed, Some if it was.

  6. def andThen[U](pf: PartialFunction[Try[T], U])(implicit executor: ExecutionContext): Future[T]

    Applies the side-effecting function to the result of this future, and returns a new future with the result of this future.

    Applies the side-effecting function to the result of this future, and returns a new future with the result of this future.

    This method allows one to enforce that the callbacks are executed in a specified order.

    Note that if one of the chained andThen callbacks throws an exception, that exception is not propagated to the subsequent andThen callbacks. Instead, the subsequent andThen callbacks are given the original value of this future.

    The following example prints out 5:

    val f = Future { 5 }
    f andThen {
      case r => sys.error("runtime exception")
    } andThen {
      case Failure(t) => println(t)
      case Success(v) => println(v)
    }

    Since this method executes asynchronously and does not produce a return value, any non-fatal exceptions thrown will be reported to the ExecutionContext.

    U

    only used to accept any return type of the given PartialFunction

    pf

    a PartialFunction which will be conditionally applied to the outcome of this Future

    returns

    a Future which will be completed with the exact same outcome as this Future but after the PartialFunction has been executed.

  7. final def asInstanceOf[T0]: T0

    Cast the receiver object to be of type T0.

    Cast the receiver object to be of type T0.

    Note that the success of a cast at runtime is modulo Scala's erasure semantics. Therefore the expression 1.asInstanceOf[String] will throw a ClassCastException at runtime, while the expression List(1).asInstanceOf[List[String]] will not. In the latter example, because the type argument is erased as part of compilation it is not possible to check whether the contents of the list are of the requested type.

    returns

  9. def collect[S](pf: PartialFunction[T, S])(implicit executor: ExecutionContext): Future[S]

    Creates a new future by mapping the value of the current future, if the given partial function is defined at that value.

    Creates a new future by mapping the value of the current future, if the given partial function is defined at that value.

    If the current future contains a value for which the partial function is defined, the new future will also hold that value. Otherwise, the resulting future will fail with a NoSuchElementException.

    If the current future fails, then the resulting future also fails.

    Example:

    val f = Future { -5 }
    val g = f collect {
      case x if x < 0 => -x
    }
    val h = f collect {
      case x if x > 0 => x * 2
    }

  14. final def eq(arg0: AnyRef): Boolean

    Tests whether the argument (that) is a reference to the receiver object (this).

    Tests whether the argument (that) is a reference to the receiver object (this).

    The eq method implements an equivalence relation on non-null instances of AnyRef, and has three additional properties:

    • It is consistent: for any non-null instances x and y of type AnyRef, multiple invocations of x.eq(y) consistently returns true or consistently returns false.
    • For any non-null instance x of type AnyRef, x.eq(null) and null.eq(x) returns false.
    • null.eq(null) returns true.

    When overriding the equals or hashCode methods, it is important to ensure that their behavior is consistent with reference equality. Therefore, if two objects are references to each other (o1 eq o2), they should be equal to each other (o1 == o2) and they should hash to the same value (o1.hashCode == o2.hashCode).

    returns

    true if the argument is a reference to the receiver object; false otherwise.

  16. def failed: Future[Throwable]

    The returned Future will be successfully completed with the Throwable of the original Future if the original Future fails.

    The returned Future will be successfully completed with the Throwable of the original Future if the original Future fails.

    If the original Future is successful, the returned Future is failed with a NoSuchElementException.

    This future may contain a throwable object and this means that the future failed. Futures obtained through combinators have the same exception as the future they were obtained from. The following throwable objects are not contained in the future:

    • Error - errors are not contained within futures
    • InterruptedException - not contained within futures
    • all scala.util.control.ControlThrowable except NonLocalReturnControl - not contained within futures

    Instead, the future is completed with a ExecutionException with one of the exceptions above as the cause. If a future is failed with a scala.runtime.NonLocalReturnControl, it is completed with a value from that throwable instead.

    returns

    a failed projection of this Future.

  17. def fallbackTo[U >: T](that: Future[U]): Future[U]

    Creates a new future which holds the result of this future if it was completed successfully, or, if not, the result of the that future if that is completed successfully.

    Creates a new future which holds the result of this future if it was completed successfully, or, if not, the result of the that future if that is completed successfully. If both futures are failed, the resulting future holds the throwable object of the first future.

    Using this method will not cause concurrent programs to become nondeterministic.

    Example:

    val f = Future { sys.error("failed") }
    val g = Future { 5 }
    val h = f fallbackTo g
    h foreach println // Eventually prints 5
    U

    the type of the other Future and the resulting Future

    that

    the Future whose result we want to use if this Future fails.

    returns

    a Future with the successful result of this or that Future or the failure of this Future if both fail

  18. def filter(p: (T) ⇒ Boolean)(implicit executor: ExecutionContext): Future[T]

    Creates a new future by filtering the value of the current future with a predicate.

    Creates a new future by filtering the value of the current future with a predicate.

    If the current future contains a value which satisfies the predicate, the new future will also hold that value. Otherwise, the resulting future will fail with a NoSuchElementException.

    If the current future fails, then the resulting future also fails.

    Example:

    val f = Future { 5 }
    val g = f filter { _ % 2 == 1 }
    val h = f filter { _ % 2 == 0 }
    g foreach println // Eventually prints 5
    Await.result(h, Duration.Zero) // throw a NoSuchElementException
    p

    the predicate to apply to the successful result of this Future

    returns

    a Future which will hold the successful result of this Future if it matches the predicate or a NoSuchElementException

  1. def onFailure[U](pf: PartialFunction[Throwable, U])(implicit executor: ExecutionContext): Unit

    When this future is completed with a failure (i.e., with a throwable), apply the provided callback to the throwable.

    When this future is completed with a failure (i.e., with a throwable), apply the provided callback to the throwable.

    This future may contain a throwable object and this means that the future failed. Futures obtained through combinators have the same exception as the future they were obtained from. The following throwable objects are not contained in the future:

    • Error - errors are not contained within futures
    • InterruptedException - not contained within futures
    • all scala.util.control.ControlThrowable except NonLocalReturnControl - not contained within futures

    Instead, the future is completed with a ExecutionException with one of the exceptions above as the cause. If a future is failed with a scala.runtime.NonLocalReturnControl, it is completed with a value from that throwable instead.

    If the future has already been completed with a failure, this will either be applied immediately or be scheduled asynchronously.

    Will not be called in case that the future is completed with a value.

    Note that the returned value of pf will be discarded.

    Since this method executes asynchronously and does not produce a return value, any non-fatal exceptions thrown will be reported to the ExecutionContext.

    Multiple callbacks may be registered; there is no guarantee that they will be executed in a particular order.

    The provided callback always runs in the provided implicit ExecutionContext, though there is no guarantee that the execute() method on the ExecutionContext will be called once per callback or that execute() will be called in the current thread. That is, the implementation may run multiple callbacks in a batch within a single execute() and it may run execute() either immediately or asynchronously. Completion of the Future must *happen-before* the invocation of the callback.

    (Since version 2.12.0) use onComplete or failed.foreach instead (keep in mind that they take total rather than partial functions)

  2. def onSuccess[U](pf: PartialFunction[T, U])(implicit executor: ExecutionContext): Unit

    When this future is completed successfully (i.e., with a value), apply the provided partial function to the value if the partial function is defined at that value.

    When this future is completed successfully (i.e., with a value), apply the provided partial function to the value if the partial function is defined at that value.
