What?
coffenode-suspend is a fork of jmar777's suspend, which describes itself as a "small, experimental library for Node that uses ES6 language features to simplify asynchronous code interactions." All of which should be true for this version of suspend, too. See what's different:
- coffenode-suspend is re-written in CoffeeScript;
- it works with callback-accepting synchronous functions;
- this means using
suspend
(orstep
) will make your code asynchronous in case it wasn't already. - coffenode-suspend will throw errors in the generator by default (instead of returning them);
- it will send only a single value (not a list with a single value) to the generator if the function calling back did so with a single argument (otherwise no change);
- it offers utility functions for your asynchronous chores (available as
suspend.step
,suspend.after
, andsuspend.eventually
).
