This context is normally waiting for user -- input (or terminal resizing, etc.) which gets turned into an -- MHEvent and the 'onEvent' event handler is called to process that -- event, after which the display is redrawn as necessary and brick -- awaits the next input. -- -- However, it is often convenient to communicate with the Mattermost -- server in the background, so that large numbers of -- synchronously-blocking events (e.g. on startup) or refreshes can -- occur whenever needed and without negatively impacting the UI -- updates or responsiveness. This is handled by a 'forkIO' context -- that waits on an STM channel for work to do, performs the work, and -- then sends brick an MHEvent containing the completion or failure -- information for that work. -- -- The /doAsyncWith/ family of functions here facilitates that -- asynchronous functionality. This is typically used in the -- following fashion: -- -- > doSomething :: MH () -- > doSomething = do -- > got <- something -- > doAsyncWith Normal $ do -- > r <- mmFetchR .... -- > return $ do -- > csSomething.here %= processed r -- -- The second argument is an IO monad operation (because 'forkIO' runs -- in the IO Monad context), but it returns an MH monad operation. -- The IO monad has access to the closure of 'doSomething' (e.g. the -- 'got' value), but it should be aware that the state of the MH monad -- may have been changed by the time the IO monad runs in the -- background, so the closure is a snapshot of information at the time -- the 'doAsyncWith' was called. -- -- Similarly, the returned MH monad operation is *not* run in the -- context of the 'forkIO' background, but it is instead passed via an -- MHEvent back to the main brick thread, where it is executed in an -- EventM handler's MH monad context. This operation therefore has -- access to the combined closure of the pre- 'doAsyncWith' code and -- the closure of the IO operation. It is important that the final MH -- monad operation should *re-obtain* state information from the MH -- monad instead of using or setting the state obtained prior to the -- 'doAsyncWith' call. -- | Priority setting for asynchronous work items.
