# Using Async
|
|
|
|
Async is a library revolving around two main concepts:
|
|
|
|
- [Promises and Futures](futures.md)
|
|
- [(Reactive) Streams](streams.md)
|
|
- [EventLoops](eventloop.md)
|
|
|
|
Together they form the foundation of Vapor 3's data flow.
|
|
|
|
## With Vapor
|
|
|
|
This package is included with Vapor by default, just add:
|
|
|
|
```swift
|
|
import Async
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Without Vapor
|
|
|
|
Async is a powerful library for any Swift project. To include it in your package, add the following to your `Package.swift` file.
|
|
|
|
```swift
|
|
// swift-tools-version:4.0
|
|
import PackageDescription
|
|
|
|
let package = Package(
|
|
name: "Project",
|
|
dependencies: [
|
|
...
|
|
.package(url: "https://github.com/vapor/async.git", .revision("beta")),
|
|
],
|
|
targets: [
|
|
.target(name: "Project", dependencies: ["Async", ... ])
|
|
]
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Use `import Async` to access Async's APIs.
