Package Exports

thenify

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (thenify) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

thenify

Promisify a callback-based function using any-promise.

Preserves function names
Uses a native promise implementation if available and tries to fall back to a promise implementation such as bluebird
Converts multiple arguments from the callback into an Array, also support change the behavior by options.multiArgs
Resulting function never deoptimizes
Supports both callback and promise style

An added benefit is that thrown errors in that async function will be caught by the promise!

API

fn = thenify(fn, options)

Promisifies a function.

Options

options are optional.

options.withCallback - support both callback and promise style, default to false.
options.multiArgs - change the behavior when callback have multiple arguments. default to true.
- true - converts multiple arguments to an array
- false- always use the first argument
- Array - converts multiple arguments to an object with keys provided in options.multiArgs
Turn async functions into promises

var thenify = require('thenify');

var somethingAsync = thenify(function somethingAsync(a, b, c, callback) {
  callback(null, a, b, c);
});

Backward compatible with callback

var thenify = require('thenify');

var somethingAsync = thenify(function somethingAsync(a, b, c, callback) {
  callback(null, a, b, c);
}, { withCallback: true });

// somethingAsync(a, b, c).then(onFulfilled).catch(onRejected);
// somethingAsync(a, b, c, function () {});

or use thenify.withCallback()

var thenify = require('thenify').withCallback;

var somethingAsync = thenify(function somethingAsync(a, b, c, callback) {
  callback(null, a, b, c);
});

// somethingAsync(a, b, c).then(onFulfilled).catch(onRejected);
// somethingAsync(a, b, c, function () {});

Always return the first argument in callback

var thenify = require('thenify');

var promise = thenify(function (callback) {
  callback(null, 1, 2, 3);
}, { multiArgs: false });

// promise().then(function onFulfilled(value) {
//   assert.equal(value, 1);
// });

Converts callback arguments to an object

var thenify = require('thenify');

var promise = thenify(function (callback) {
  callback(null, 1, 2, 3);
}, { multiArgs: [ 'one', 'tow', 'three' ] });

// promise().then(function onFulfilled(value) {
//   assert.deepEqual(value, {
//     one: 1,
//     tow: 2,
//     three: 3
//   });
// });
