m

Note

This is a point-in-time snapshot of the API documentation from January 2026. Going forward, we will not be maintaining a public copy of these references, and recommend users to refer to the built-in signature helpers available in the Hack LSP instead for complete and up-to-date information.

Translate a KeyedTraversable of Awaitables into a single AwaitableofMap`

namespace HH\Asio;

function m<Tk as arraykey, Tv>(
  KeyedTraversable<Tk, Awaitable<Tv>> $awaitables,
): Awaitable<Map<Tk, Tv>>;

This function takes any KeyedTraversable object of Awaitables (i.e., each member of the KeyedTraversable has a value of type of Awaitable, likely from a call to a function that returned Awaitable<T>), and transforms those Awaitables into one big Awaitable Map.

This function is called m because we are returning a map of Awaitable.

Only When you await or join the resulting Awaitable, will all of the key/values in the Map within the returned Awaitable be available.

Returns​

Examples​

/**
 * Query an arbitrary number of URLs in parallel
 * returning them as a Map of string responses.
 */
async function get_urls(
  \ConstMap<string, string> $urls,
): Awaitable<Map<string, string>> {
  // Wrap each URL string into a curl_exec awaitable
  $handles = $urls->map($url ==> \HH\Asio\curl_exec($url));

  // Wait on each handle in parallel and return the results
  return await \HH\Asio\m($handles);
}

  };
