/** * Zone is a mechanism for intercepting and keeping track of asynchronous work. * * A Zone is a global object which is configured with rules about how to intercept and keep track * of the asynchronous callbacks. Zone has these responsibilities: * * 1. Intercept asynchronous task scheduling * 2. Wrap callbacks for error-handling and zone tracking across async operations. * 3. Provide a way to attach data to zones * 4. Provide a context specific last frame error handling * 5. (Intercept blocking methods) * * A zone by itself does not do anything, instead it relies on some other code to route existing * platform API through it. (The zone library ships with code which monkey patches all of the * browsers's asynchronous API and redirects them through the zone for interception.) * * In its simplest form a zone allows one to intercept the scheduling and calling of asynchronous * operations, and execute additional code before as well as after the asynchronous task. The rules * of interception are configured using [ZoneConfig]. There can be many different zone instances in * a system, but only one zone is active at any given time which can be retrieved using * [Zone#current]. * * * * ## Callback Wrapping * * An important aspect of the zones is that they should persist across asynchronous operations. To * achieve this, when a future work is scheduled through async API, it is necessary to capture, and * subsequently restore the current zone. For example if a code is running in zone `b` and it * invokes `setTimeout` to scheduleTask work later, the `setTimeout` method needs to 1) capture the * current zone and 2) wrap the `wrapCallback` in code which will restore the current zone `b` once * the wrapCallback executes. In this way the rules which govern the current code are preserved in * all future asynchronous tasks. There could be a different zone `c` which has different rules and * is associated with different asynchronous tasks. As these tasks are processed, each asynchronous * wrapCallback correctly restores the correct zone, as well as preserves the zone for future * asynchronous callbacks. * * Example: Suppose a browser page consist of application code as well as third-party * advertisement code. (These two code bases are independent, developed by different mutually * unaware developers.) The application code may be interested in doing global error handling and * so it configures the `app` zone to send all of the errors to the server for analysis, and then * executes the application in the `app` zone. The advertising code is interested in the same * error processing but it needs to send the errors to a different third-party. So it creates the * `ads` zone with a different error handler. Now both advertising as well as application code * create many asynchronous operations, but the [Zone] will ensure that all of the asynchronous * operations created from the application code will execute in `app` zone with its error * handler and all of the advertisement code will execute in the `ads` zone with its error handler. * This will not only work for the async operations created directly, but also for all subsequent * asynchronous operations. * * If you think of chain of asynchronous operations as a thread of execution (bit of a stretch) * then [Zone#current] will act as a thread local variable. * * * * ## Asynchronous operation scheduling * * In addition to wrapping the callbacks to restore the zone, all operations which cause a * scheduling of work for later are routed through the current zone which is allowed to intercept * them by adding work before or after the wrapCallback as well as using different means of * achieving the request. (Useful for unit testing, or tracking of requests). In some instances * such as `setTimeout` the wrapping of the wrapCallback and scheduling is done in the same * wrapCallback, but there are other examples such as `Promises` where the `then` wrapCallback is * wrapped, but the execution of `then` in triggered by `Promise` scheduling `resolve` work. * * Fundamentally there are three kinds of tasks which can be scheduled: * * 1. [MicroTask] used for doing work right after the current task. This is non-cancelable which is * guaranteed to run exactly once and immediately. * 2. [MacroTask] used for doing work later. Such as `setTimeout`. This is typically cancelable * which is guaranteed to execute at least once after some well understood delay. * 3. [EventTask] used for listening on some future event. This may execute zero or more times, with * an unknown delay. * * Each asynchronous API is modeled and routed through one of these APIs. * * * ### [MicroTask] * * [MicroTask]s represent work which will be done in current VM turn as soon as possible, before VM * yielding. * * * ### [TimerTask] * * [TimerTask]s represents work which will be done after some delay. (Sometimes the delay is * approximate such as on next available animation frame). Typically these methods include: * `setTimeout`, `setImmediate`, `setInterval`, `requestAnimationFrame`, and all browser specif * variants. * * * ### [EventTask] * * [EventTask]s represents a request to create a listener on an event. Unlike the other task * events may never be executed, but typically execute more then once. There is no queue of * events, rather their callbacks are unpredictable both in order and time. * * * ## Global Error Handling * * * ## Composability * * Zones can be composed together through [Zone.fork()]. A child zone may create its own set of * rules. A child zone is expected to either: * * 1. Delegate the interception to a parent zone, and optionally add before and after wrapCallback * hook.s * 2) Or process the request itself without delegation. * * Composability allows zones to keep their concerns clean. For example a top most zone may chose * to handle error handling, while child zones may chose to do user action tracking. * * * ## Root Zone * * At the start the browser will run in a special root zone, which is configure to behave exactly * like the platform, making any existing code which is not-zone aware behave as expected. All * zones are children of the root zone. * */ interface Zone { /** * * @returns {Zone} The parent Zone. */ parent: Zone; /** * @returns {string} The Zone name (useful for debugging) */ name: string; /** * Returns a value associated with the `key`. * * If the current zone does not have a key, the request is delegated to the parent zone.
