Event:...Signal(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, say hi to Event::Distributor::Signal 💖 — an event that returns no result. periodt.

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so this is a subclass of Event::Distributor::_Event, and the way it works is lowkey iconic: it invokes each of its subscribers in turn, making sure each one has a chance to be invoked no matter what the result of the others was. equal opportunity behavior, fr fr. 🫶

now for the Future tea ☕:

• Its Future succeeds (with no value) if no subscriber failed. slay. ✨
• If one subscriber failed, the Future fails in the same way. 😭
• If two or more subscribers fail, the resulting Future fails with a message composed by combining all the individual messages, in the distributor category, whose failure details are a list of the failed component futures. 💀

no cap, that last one is giving "we all fall down together" energy. not me being dramatic about failure details. 🙈
