[Feature Request] Async Request support

[sahilsharma011]

Is there any plan or roadmap for supporting asynchronous workflows using Eloquent models which have been included in PHP SDK for AWS v3
I can also contribute for this feature if you can show me a roadmap

Great suggestion! I'd love for it to be on the roadmap.

Do you have a proposal what the API would look like? e.g. are you suggesting we have something like this: $model->saveAsync(), $model->where(...)->getAsync()? I don't think Eloquent has an async syntax.

[sahilsharma011]

Yes, I was thinking along the same lines. For example we can create a new function saveAsync in DynamoDbQueryBuilder.php which can make use of putItemAsync instead of putItem and it can return a promise instead of just true/false.

Sounds good. Feel free to create a PR. I'll resume working on this next weekend.

Okay I have cloned the project and I'll try to work on a PR. Can you guide me a bit through this.
First I am working on a saveAsync method which will call a new saveAsync method in DynamoDbQueryBuilder class and this method will be making use of putItemAsync which comes with aws php sdk. It will return a promise which will be returned back to where the initial save call was made where the user will wait for this promise resolution as per their needs.
Does this sound good?

[baopham]

Yep that sounds about right. The flow should be similar to save. You can start with saveAsync first. For tests, you will need to add testSaveAsync in both DynamoDbCompositeModelTest and DynamoDbNonCompositeModelTest.

Thanks for working on this!
