Async not working about riot-api-league HOT 4 CLOSED

Hello, thank you for your interest in this library! The commitAsync method is synchronous and always will be, that is the intended behaviour - PHP is not natively asynchronous hence what you're describing can never really occur (ReactPHP allows for event-driven programming to occur in PHP however the code doesn't run in parallel or asynchronously - or at least as far as I know, I'm not too familiar with ReactPHP).
However, you can use the event loop of ReactPHP to invoke methods kind of asynchronously. Check out this code snippet showing how to use ReactPHP's event loop within the Guzzle library. Furthermore, keep in mind that commitAsync will always block since that is when the request promises are being waited for.

So there are no plans to make the library non-blocking?

This is the least blocking it can be, I guess. You can make Guzzle use the ReactPHP's event loop and move the commitAsync to some "asynchronous" function called from the event loop too. That way, you can achieve some level of asynchronicity. However, PHP is not asynchronous; hence, true asynchronicity cannot be achieved - some function will always block.

I will do so. Blocking data loading takes most of the time. A lot of useful work can be done while waiting for a response from the Riot API. Thank you.
