promise.ascallback

npm Version

Converts a native Promise to a node.js-style callback.

Installation:

npm install --save promise.ascallback

Usage example:

 
const asCallback = require('promise.ascallback');
 
asCallback(myPromise, function (err, value) {
 
    // Promise.catch is also forwarded here
    
});
 

You can also patch Promise.prototype to have a chainable asCallback method.

 
require('promise.asCallback').patch();
 
myPromise
    .asCallback(function (err, value) {
 
        // Promise.catch is also forwarded here
        
    });
 

Notes

The name asCallback is inspired by Bluebird library, as most of the asCallback/promisifying libraries out there.
But there one big difference - all libraries out there that I've encountered by the time of publishing this module, did not forward the thrown error to the callback. Maybe for a good reason, but I find it more natural to forward it to the callback - as the node.js callback convention has an error argument.
