promisifier.js

Converts callback-based APIs to ES6 promises with chainable convenience promises.

Installation

npm install promisifier.js

Compatibility

Requires nodejs with at least version 0.11.x with ES6 features enabled (--harmony).

Recommendations

A generator capable of pumping promises, such as co, increases fun/productivity!

Examples

Basic

var promisifier = require('promisifier.js');
var fs = promisifier(require('fs'));

fs.readFile('someKindOfMonster.txt', 'utf8').then(function (contents) {
	console.log('contents: ' + contents);
}, function (error) {
	console.log('error: ' + error);
});

Errorless Chainable

var promisifier = require('promisifier.js');
var fs = promisifier(require('fs'));

fs.exists('someKindOfMonster.txt').errorless().then(function (result) {
	console.log('exists: ' + result[0]);
});

First Chainable

var promisifier = require('promisifier.js');
var request = promisifier(require('request'));

request('http://www.google.com/').first().then(function (response) {
	console.log(response.statusCode);
});

Map Chainable

var promisifier = require('promisifier.js');
var request = promisifier(require('request'));

request('http://www.google.com/').map('response', 'body').then(function (result) {
	console.log(result.response.statusCode);
});

Yieldable

var co = require('co');
var promisifier = require('promisifier.js');
var request = promisifier(require('request'));

co(function *() {
	var a = yield request('http://google.com').map('response', 'body');
	var b = yield request('http://yahoo.com').map('response', 'body');
	var c = yield request('http://cloudup.com').map('response', 'body');
	var all = yield [a, b, c];
	console.log(all[0].response.statusCode);
	console.log(all[1].response.statusCode);
	console.log(all[2].response.statusCode);
})();
