Return Value

The succeeded future.

Let a: EventLoopFuture = req.future()

flatten(_:)
Returns a new EventLoopFuture that succeeds only when all the provided futures succeed. The new EventLoopFuture contains an array of results, maintaining same ordering as the futures.
flatten(_:)
Returns a new EventLoopFuture that succeeds only when all the provided futures succeed, ignoring the resolved values.
future(error:)
Creates a new, failed EventLoopFuture from the worker’s event loop.
future(_:)
Creates a new, succeeded EventLoopFuture from the worker’s event loop.
future(result:)
Creates a new Future from the worker’s event loop, succeeded or failed based on the input Result.
tryFuture(_:)
An alternate name for this would be future(catching:), but with that name, trailing closure syntax just looks like el.future { ... }, which does not indicate to readers of the code that it is the error-capturing version. Since such an indication is highly desirable, a slightly less idiomatic name is used instead.
