# es6-promisify
|
|
Converts callback-based functions to ES6/ES2015 Promises, using a boilerplate callback function.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: All-new API for Version 6.0.0; please read carefully!
|
|
===========================================================
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
Install with [npm](https://npmjs.org/package/es6-promisify)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm install es6-promisify
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
```js
|
|
const {promisify} = require("es6-promisify");
|
|
|
|
// Convert the stat function
|
|
const fs = require("fs");
|
|
const stat = promisify(fs.stat);
|
|
|
|
// Now usable as a promise!
|
|
stat("example.txt").then(function (stats) {
|
|
console.log("Got stats", stats);
|
|
}).catch(function (err) {
|
|
console.error("Yikes!", err);
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Promisify methods
|
|
```js
|
|
const {promisify} = require("es6-promisify");
|
|
|
|
// Create a promise-based version of send_command
|
|
const redis = require("redis").createClient(6379, "localhost");
|
|
const client = promisify(redis.send_command.bind(redis));
|
|
|
|
// Send commands to redis and get a promise back
|
|
client("ping").then(function (pong) {
|
|
console.log("Got", pong);
|
|
}).catch(function (err) {
|
|
console.error("Unexpected error", err);
|
|
}).then(function () {
|
|
redis.quit();
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Handle multiple callback arguments, with named parameters
|
|
```js
|
|
const {promisify} = require("es6-promisify");
|
|
|
|
function test(cb) {
|
|
return cb(undefined, 1, 2, 3);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// Create promise-based version of test
|
|
test[promisify.argumentNames] = ["one", "two", "three"];
|
|
const multi = promisify(test);
|
|
|
|
// Returns named arguments
|
|
multi().then(result => {
|
|
console.log(result); // {one: 1, two: 2, three: 3}
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Provide your own Promise implementation
|
|
```js
|
|
const {promisify} = require("es6-promisify");
|
|
|
|
// Now uses Bluebird
|
|
promisify.Promise = require("bluebird");
|
|
|
|
const test = promisify(cb => cb(undefined, "test"));
|
|
test().then(result => {
|
|
console.log(result); // "test", resolved using Bluebird
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Tests
|
|
Test with tape
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ npm test
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Changes from v5.0.0
|
|
- Allow developer to specify a different implementations of `Promise`
|
|
- No longer ships with a polyfill for `Promise`. If your environment has no native `Promise` you must polyfill yourself, or set `promisify.Promise` to an A+ compatible `Promise` implementation.
|
|
- Removed support for `settings.thisArg`: use `.bind()` instead.
|
|
- Removed support for `settings.multiArgs`: use named arguments instead.
