public interface Uni<T>
```
A Uni represents a lazy asynchronous action. It follows the subscription pattern, meaning that the action is only triggered once a UniSubscriber subscribes to the Uni.
A Uni can have two outcomes:
1. An item event, forwarding the completion of the action (potentially null if the item does not represent a value, but the action was completed successfully)
2. A failure event, forwarding an exception
To trigger the computation, a UniSubscriber must subscribe to the Uni. It will be notified of the outcome once there is an item or failure event fired by the observed Uni. A subscriber receives (asynchronously) a UniSubscription and can cancel the demand at any time. Note that cancelling after having received the outcome is a no-op.

    Examples:
```
 
     Uni<String> uni = ...;

    Subscription sub = uni.subscribe().with( // The return subscription can be used to cancel the operation
              item -> {},           // Callback calls on item
              failure -> {}           // Callback calls on failure
    );

    UniSubscriber<String> myUniSubscriber = ...
    uni.subscribe().withSubscriber(myUniSubscriber); // Subscribes to the Uni with the passed subscriber

    CompletableFuture future = uni.subscribe().asCompletableFuture(); // Get a CompletionStage receiving the item or failure
    // Cancelling the returned future cancels the subscription.
 
 
```
    Returns:
    
    the object to configure the subscription.
    
    See Also:
    
    uni.await() for waiting (blocking the caller thread) until the resolution of the observed Uni.

```
    Shortcut for UniSubscribe.asCompletionStage().
    
    Returns:
    
    the completion stage receiving the items emitted by this Uni
  - await
```
UniAwait<T> await()
```
    Awaits (blocking the caller thread) until the item or a failure is emitted by the observed Uni. If the observed uni fails, the failure is thrown. In the case of a checked exception, the exception is wrapped into a CompletionException.
    Examples:
```
 
 Uni<T> uni = ...;
 T res = uni.await().indefinitely(); // Await indefinitely until it get the item.
 T res = uni.await().atMost(Duration.ofMillis(1000)); // Awaits at most 1s. After that, a TimeoutException is thrown
 Optional<T> res = uni.await().asOptional().indefinitely(); // Retrieves the item as an Optional, empty if the item is null
 
 
```
    Returns:
    
    the object to configure the retrieval.
  - onItem
```
UniOnItem<T> onItem()
```
    Configures the action to execute when the observed Uni emits the item (potentially null).
    Examples:
```
 
 Uni<T> uni = ...;
 uni.onItem().transform(x -> ...); // Transform the item into another item (~ map)
 uni.onItem().transformToUni(x -> ...); // Transform the item into a Uni (~ flatMap)
 
 
```
    Returns:
    
    the object to configure the action to execute when an item is emitted
  - onSubscribe
```
UniOnSubscribe<T> onSubscribe()
```
    Configures the action to execute when the observed Uni sends a UniSubscription. The downstream don't have a subscription yet. It will be passed once the configured action completes.
    Example:
```
 
 uni.onSubscribe().invoke(sub -> System.out.println("subscribed"));
 // Delay the subscription by 1 second (or until an asynchronous action completes)
 uni.onSubscribe().call(sub -> Uni.createFrom(1).onItem().delayIt().by(Duration.ofSecond(1)));
 
 
```
    Returns:
    
    the object to configure the action to execution on subscription.
  - onItemOrFailure
```
UniOnItemOrFailure<T> onItemOrFailure()
```
    Configures the action to execute when the observed Uni emits either an item (potentially null)) or a failure. Unlike onItem() and onFailure() the action would handle both cases in on "go".
    
    Returns:
    
    the object to configure the action to execute when an item is emitted or when a failure is propagated.
  - and
```
@Deprecated
UniAndGroup<T> and()
```
    Deprecated. Use combine()
    
    Combines a set of unis into a joined item. This item can be a Tuple or the item of a combinator function.
    If one of the combine Uni fire a failure, the other unis are cancelled, and the resulting Uni fires the failure. If collectFailures() is called, it waits for the completion of all the unis before propagating the failure event. If more than one Uni failed, a CompositeException is fired, wrapping the different collected failures.
    Depending on the number of participants, the produced Tuple is different from Tuple2 to Tuple9. For more participants, use UniAndGroup.unis(Uni[]) or UniAndGroup.unis(Iterable).
    
    Returns:
    
    the object to configure the join
    
    See Also:
    
    Uni.all() for the equivalent static operator
  - and
```
@Deprecated
<T2> Uni<Tuple2<T,T2>> and(Uni<T2> other)
```
    Deprecated. Use combine()
    
    Combines the item of this Uni with the item of other into a Tuple2. If this or other fails, the other resolution is cancelled.
    
    Type Parameters:
    
    T2 - the type to pair
    
    Parameters:
    
    other - the other Uni, must not be null
    
    Returns:
    
    the combination of the pair combining the two items.
    
    See Also:
    
    and for more options on the combination of items, Uni.all() for the equivalent static operator
  - or
```
@Deprecated
UniOr<T> or()
```
    Deprecated. Use combine()
    
    Composes this Uni with a set of Uni passed to UniOr.unis(Uni[]) to produce a new Uni forwarding the first event (item or failure). It behaves like the fastest of these competing unis.
    The process subscribes to the set of Uni. When one of the Uni fires an item or a failure, the event is propagated downstream. Also the other subscriptions are cancelled.
    Note that the callback from the subscriber are called on the thread used to fire the winning Uni. Use emitOn(Executor) to change the thread.
    If the subscription to the returned Uni is cancelled, the subscription to the unis from the iterable are also cancelled.
    
    Returns:
    
    the object to enlist the participants
    
    See Also:
    
    Uni.any for a static version of this operator, like Uni first = Uni.any().of(uni1, uni2);
  - onFailure
```
UniOnFailure<T> onFailure()
```
    Like onFailure(Predicate) but applied to all failures fired by the upstream uni. It allows configuring the on failure behavior (recovery, retry...).
    
    Returns:
    
    a UniOnFailure on which you can specify the on failure action
  - onFailure
```
UniOnFailure<T> onFailure(Predicate<? super Throwable> predicate)
```
    Configures a predicate filtering the failures on which the behavior (specified with the returned UniOnFailure) is applied.
    For instance, to only when an IOException is fired as failure you can use: uni.onFailure(IOException.class).recoverWithItem("hello")
    The fallback value (hello) will only be used if the upstream uni fire a failure of type IOException.
    
    Parameters:
    
    predicate - the predicate, null means applied to all failures
    
    Returns:
    
    a UniOnFailure configured with the given predicate on which you can specify the on failure action
  - onFailure
```
UniOnFailure<T> onFailure(Class<? extends Throwable> typeOfFailure)
```
    Configures a type of failure filtering the failures on which the behavior (specified with the returned UniOnFailure) is applied.
    For instance, to only when an IOException is fired as failure you can use: uni.onFailure(IOException.class).recoverWithItem("hello")
    The fallback value (hello) will only be used if the upstream uni fire a failure of type IOException.
    
    Parameters:
    
    typeOfFailure - the class of exception, must not be null
    
    Returns:
    
    a UniOnFailure configured with the given predicate on which you can specify the on failure action
  - ifNoItem
```
UniIfNoItem<T> ifNoItem()
```
    Produces a Uni reacting when a no item event is fired by the upstream uni during the specified time period.
    This Uni detects if this Uni does not emit an item before the configured timeout.
    Examples: uni.ifNoItem().after(Duration.ofMillis(1000).fail() // Propagate a TimeOutException uni.ifNoItem().after(Duration.ofMillis(1000).recoverWithValue("fallback") // Inject a fallback item on timeout uni.ifNoItem().after(Duration.ofMillis(1000).on(myExecutor)... // Configure the executor calling on timeout actions uni.ifNoItem().after(Duration.ofMillis(1000).retry().atMost(5) // Retry five times
    
    Returns:
    
    the on timeout group
  - emitOn
```
Uni<T> emitOn(Executor executor)
```
    Produces a new Uni invoking the UniSubscriber.onItem(Object) and UniSubscriber.onFailure(Throwable) on the supplied Executor.
    Instead of receiving the item event on the thread firing the event, this method influences the threading context to switch to a thread from the given executor.
    
    Parameters:
    
    executor - the executor to use, must not be null
    
    Returns:
    
    a new Uni
  - subscribeOn
```
@Deprecated
default Uni<T> subscribeOn(Executor executor)
```
    Deprecated. Use runSubscriptionOn(Executor) instead
    
    When a subscriber subscribes to this Uni, executes the subscription to the upstream Uni on a thread from the given executor. As a result, the UniSubscriber.onSubscribe(UniSubscription) method will be called on this thread (except mentioned otherwise)
    
    Parameters:
    
    executor - the executor to use, must not be null
    
    Returns:
    
    a new Uni
  - runSubscriptionOn
```
Uni<T> runSubscriptionOn(Executor executor)
```
    When a subscriber subscribes to this Uni, executes the subscription to the upstream Uni on a thread from the given executor. As a result, the UniSubscriber.onSubscribe(UniSubscription) method will be called on this thread (except mentioned otherwise)
    
    Parameters:
    
    executor - the executor to use, must not be null
    
    Returns:
    
    a new Uni

    Returns:
    
    the object to configure memoization
  - cache
```
@Deprecated
default Uni<T> cache()
```
    Deprecated. Use UniMemoize.indefinitely() instead
    
    Caches the events (item or failure) of this Uni and replays it for all further UniSubscriber.
    
    Returns:
    
    the new Uni. Unlike regular Uni, re-subscribing to this Uni does not re-compute the outcome but replayed the cached events.
  - map
```
default <O> Uni<O> map(Function<? super T,? extends O> mapper)
```
    Transforms the item (potentially null) emitted by this Uni by applying a (synchronous) function to it. This method is equivalent to uni.onItem().apply(x -> ...) For asynchronous composition, look at flatMap.

    Returns:
    
    the new Uni
  - invoke
```
default Uni<T> invoke(Runnable callback)
```
    Produces a new Uni invoking the given callback when the item event is fired, but ignoring it.
    If the callback throws an exception, this exception is propagated to the downstream as failure.

    Parameters:
    
    callback - the callback, must not be null
    
    Returns:
    
    the new Uni
  - call
```
default Uni<T> call(Function<? super T,Uni<?>> function)
```
    Produces a new Uni invoking the given @{code action} when the item event is received. Note that the received item can be null.
    Unlike invoke(Consumer), the passed function returns a Uni. When the produced Uni sends its item, this item is discarded, and the original item is forwarded downstream. If the produced Uni fails, the failure is propagated downstream. If the callback throws an exception, this exception is propagated downstream as failure.
    This method is a shortcut on UniOnItem.call(Function)
    
    Parameters:
    
    function - the function taking the item and returning a Uni, must not be null, must not return null
    
    Returns:
    
    the new Uni
  - call
```
default Uni<T> call(Supplier<Uni<?>> supplier)
```
    Produces a new Uni invoking the given @{code action} when the item event is received, but ignoring it.
    Unlike invoke(Consumer), the passed function returns a Uni. When the produced Uni sends its item, this item is discarded, and the original item is forwarded downstream. If the produced Uni fails, the failure is propagated downstream. If the callback throws an exception, this exception is propagated downstream as failure.
    This method is a shortcut on UniOnItem.call(Function)
    
    Parameters:
    
    supplier - the supplier taking the item and returning a Uni, must not be null, must not return null
    
    Returns:
    
    the new Uni
  - invokeUni
```
@Deprecated
default Uni<T> invokeUni(Function<? super T,Uni<?>> action)
```
    Deprecated. Use call(Function) instead
    
    Produces a new Uni invoking the given @{code action} when the item event is received. Note that the received item can be null.
    Unlike invoke(Consumer), the passed function returns a Uni. When the produced Uni sends its item, this item is discarded, and the original item is forwarded downstream. If the produced Uni fails, the failure is propagated downstream. If the callback throws an exception, this exception is propagated downstream as failure.
    This method is a shortcut on UniOnItem.call(Function)
    
    Parameters:
    
    action - the function taking the item and returning a Uni, must not be null, must not return null
    
    Returns:
    
    the new Uni
  - flatMap
```
default <O> Uni<O> flatMap(Function<? super T,Uni<? extends O>> mapper)
```
    Transforms the received item asynchronously, forwarding the events emitted by another Uni produced by the given mapper.
    The mapper is called with the item event of the current Uni and produces an Uni, possibly using another type of item (R). The events fired by produced Uni are forwarded to the Uni returned by this method.
    This operation is generally named flatMap. This method is a shortcut on UniOnItem.transformToUni(Function) onItem().transformToUni(mapper)}.
    
    Type Parameters:
    
    O - the type of item
    
    Parameters:
    
    mapper - the function called with the item of the this Uni and producing the Uni, must not be null, must not return null.
    
    Returns:
    
    a new Uni that would fire events from the uni produced by the mapper function, possibly in an asynchronous manner.
  - chain
```
default <O> Uni<O> chain(Function<? super T,Uni<? extends O>> mapper)
```
    Once the observed Uni emits an item, execute the given mapper. This mapper produces another Uni. The downstream receives the events emitted by this produced Uni. This operation allows chaining asynchronous operations: when the upstream completes with an item, run the mapper and emits the item (or failure) sent by the produced Uni:
```
 Uni<Session> uni = getSomeSession();
 return uni.chain(session -> session.persist(fruit))
         .chain(session -> session.flush())
         .map(x -> Response.ok(fruit).status(201).build());
 
```
    The mapper is called with the item event of the current Uni and produces an Uni, possibly using another type of item (O). The events fired by produced Uni are forwarded to the Uni returned by this method.
    This operation is generally named flatMap. This method is a shortcut for onItem().transformToUni(mapper).
    Type Parameters:
    
    O - the type of item
    
    Parameters:
    
    mapper - the function called with the item of the this Uni and producing the Uni, must not be null, must not return null.
    
    Returns:
    
    a new Uni that would fire events from the uni produced by the mapper function, possibly in an asynchronous manner.
    
    See Also:
    
    then(Supplier)
  - chain
```
default <O> Uni<O> chain(Supplier<Uni<? extends O>> supplier)
```
    Once the observed Uni emits an item, execute the given supplier. This supplier produces another Uni. The downstream receives the events emitted by this produced Uni. This operation allows chaining asynchronous operations: when the upstream completes with an item, run the supplier and emits the item (or failure) sent by the produced Uni:
```
 Uni<Session> uni = getSomeSession();
 return uni.chain(session -> session.persist(fruit))
         .chain(session -> session.flush())
         .chain(() -> server.close());
 
```
    The supplier ignores the item event of the current Uni and produces an Uni, possibly using another type of item (O). The events fired by produced Uni are forwarded to the Uni returned by this method.
    This method is a shortcut for UniOnItem.transformToUni(Function) onItem().transformToUni(ignored -> supplier.get()).
    Type Parameters:
    
    O - the type of item
    
    Parameters:
    
    supplier - the supplier producing the Uni, must not be null, must not return null.
    
    Returns:
    
    a new Uni that would fire events from the uni produced by the mapper function, possibly in an asynchronous manner.

```
@Deprecated
default <O> Uni<O> then(Supplier<Uni<? extends O>> supplier)
```
    Deprecated. Use chain(Supplier) instead
    Once the observed Uni emits an item, execute the given supplier. Unlike chain(Function), the received item is not required to run the supplier, and so omitted. The supplier produces another Uni. The downstream receives the events emitted by this produced Uni. This operation allows chaining asynchronous operation when you don't need the previous result: when the upstream completes with an item, run the supplier and emits the item (or failure) sent by the produced Uni:
```
 
 String id = ...;
 Session session = getSomeSession();
 session.find(Fruit.class, id)
        .chain(fruit -> session.remove(fruit)
        .then(() -> session.flush());
 
 
```
    This method is a shortcut for onItem().transformToUni(ignored -> supplier.get()).
    Type Parameters:
    
    O - the type of item
    
    Parameters:
    
    supplier - the function called when the item of the this Uni is emitted and producing the Uni, must not be null, must not return null.
    
    Returns:
    
    a new Uni that would fire events from the uni produced by the mapper function, possibly in an asynchronous manner.
    
    See Also:
    
    chain(Function)
  - eventually
```
default Uni<T> eventually(Runnable action)
```
    Execute an action after an item or a failure has been emitted. This is equivalent to a finally block in Java.
```
 
 String id = ...;
 Session session = getSomeSession();
 session.find(Fruit.class, id)
        .chain(fruit -> session.remove(fruit)
        .then(() -> session.flush())
        .eventually(() -> session.close());
 
 
```
    This method is a shortcut for UniOnItemOrFailure.invoke(BiConsumer): onItemOrFailure().invoke((item, err) -> action.run())
    Parameters:
    
    action - an action to perform, must not be null.
    
    Returns:
    
    a new Uni that emits events once the action has completed.
    
    See Also:
    
    onItemOrFailure()
  - eventually
```
default <O> Uni<T> eventually(Supplier<Uni<? extends O>> supplier)
```
    When this Uni emits an item or a failure, invoke a Uni supplier then invoke the supplied Uni. When the supplied Uni emits an item then it is ignored, and when it emits a failure it is reported.
    This is equivalent to a finally block in Java.
```
 
 String id = ...;
 Session session = getSomeSession();
 session.find(Fruit.class, id)
        .chain(fruit -> session.remove(fruit)
        .eventually(() -> session.close());
 
 
```
    This method is a shortcut for UniOnItemOrFailure.call(BiFunction): onItemOrFailure().call((item, err) -> supplier.get())
    Type Parameters:
    
    O - the type of the item
    
    Parameters:
    
    supplier - a Uni supplier, cannot be null and cannot return null.
    
    Returns:
    
    a new Uni that emits events once the supplied Uni emits an item or a failure.
    
    See Also:
    
    onItemOrFailure()
  - convert
```
UniConvert<T> convert()
```
    Converts an Uni to other types such as CompletionStage
    Examples:
```
 
 uni.convert().toCompletionStage(); // Convert to CompletionStage using convenience method
 uni.convert().with(BuiltinConverters.toCompletionStage()); // Convert to CompletionStage using BuiltInConverters
 uni.convert().with(uni -> x); // Convert with a custom lambda converter
 
 
```
    Returns:
    
    the object to convert an Uni instance
    
    See Also:
    
    UniConvert
  - toMulti
```
Multi<T> toMulti()
```
    Creates an instance of Multi from this Uni.
    When a subscriber subscribes to the returned Multi and request an item, it subscribes to this Uni and the events from this Uni are propagated to the Multi:
    - if this Uni emits a non-null item - this item is propagated to the Multi and followed with the completion event
    - if this Uni emits a null item - the Multi fires the completion event
    - if this Uni emits a failure, this failure event is propagated by the Multi
    It's important to note that the subscription to this Uni happens when the subscriber to the produced Multi requests items, and not at subscription time.
    Returns:
    
    the produced Multi, never null
  - on
```
@Deprecated
UniOnEvent<T> on()
```
    Deprecated. Use the specialized groups in Uni instead, e.g. onItem() or onTermination().
    
    Allows adding behavior when various type of events are emitted by the current Uni (item, failure) or by the subscriber (cancellation, subscription)
    
    Returns:
    
    the object to configure the action to execute when events happen
  - repeat
```
UniRepeat<T> repeat()
```
    Allows configuring repeating behavior. Repeating allow transforming a Uni into a Multi either a specific amount of times or indefinitely. Each time, a new subscription is attempted on the Uni. Cancelling the subscription stops the repeating behavior.
    
    Returns:
    
    the object to configure the repeating behavior.
  - onTermination
```
UniOnTerminate<T> onTermination()
```
    Configures actions to be performed on termination, that is, on item, on failure, or when the subscriber cancels the subscription.
    
    Returns:
    
    the object to configure the termination actions.
  - onCancellation
```
UniOnCancel<T> onCancellation()
```
    Configures actions to be performed when the subscriber cancels the subscription.
    
    Returns:
    
    the object to configure the cancellation actions.
  - plug
```
default <R> Uni<R> plug(Function<Uni<T>,Uni<R>> operatorProvider)
```
    Plug a user-defined operator that does not belong to the existing Mutiny API.
    
    Type Parameters:
    
    R - the output type
    
    Parameters:
    
    operatorProvider - a function to create and bind a new operator instance, taking this Uni as a parameter and returning a new Uni. Must neither be null nor return null.
    
    Returns:
    
    the new Uni
  - replaceWith
```
default <O> Uni<O> replaceWith(O item)
```
    Ignore the item emitted by this Uni and replace it with another value.
    This is a shortcut for uni.onItem().transform(ignore -> item).

    O - the output type
    
    Parameters:
    
    item - the replacement value

    the new Uni
  - replaceWith
```
default <O> Uni<O> replaceWith(Supplier<O> supplier)
```
