all-promises

This project is try to collect all Promise implementations which follow ECMAScript 6 (which based on Promises/A+ 1.1.1).

Usage

The goal of this project is to provide a centric location to ease the comparison and testings of different implementations. Normally you only need one Promise implementation in your application, so you would mostly never use this package in the productions.

Install

npm install all-promises

API

function getPromiseConstructor(name: string): PromiseConstructor

var Promise = require('all-promises').getPromiseConstructor('q') // q implementation
var p = new Promise(function (resolve) { resolve(1) })
p.then(function (x) { assert(x === 1) })

default: PromiseConstructor

test.js file:

var Promise = require('all-promises').default // default implementation

You can specify default implementation by passing env variable:

P=rsvp node test

If no env P is provided, default to V8 native implementation

list: Array<PromiseImplementation>

interface PromiseImplementation {
    name: string,
    version: string,
    aliases: Array<string>,
    Promise: PromiseConstructor?,
    error: Error?
}

var list = require('all-promises').list
 
list.forEach(function (impl, index) {
    console.log(index + '.',
        'package name:', impl.name,
        'aliases:', impl.aliases,
        'version:', impl.version)
    var Promise = impl.Promise // Promise constructor
    if (Promise) Promise.resolve(1).then(function (x) { assert(x === 1) })
    else console.warn(impl.error)
})

function register(packageName: string, alias?: string|Array<string>, exportPromise?: string|function)

function unregister(name: string): boolean

function has(name: string): boolean

function get(name: string): PromiseImplementation

var promises = require('all-promises')
 
promises.has('es6-promise-polyfill') // false
promises.register('es6-promise-polyfill')
promises.has('es6-promise-polyfill') // true
var impl = promises.get('es6-promise-polyfill')
assert.deepEqual(impl, {
    name: 'es6-promise-polyfill',
    aliases: [],
    Promise: promises.getPromiseConstructor('es6-promise-polyfill'),
})
promises.unregister('es6-promise-polyfill') // true
promises.has('es6-promise-polyfill') // false
promises.unregister('es6-promise-polyfill') // false

How to add a new implementation

Criteria

• MUST register on npm

• MUST support new Promise(function executor(resolve, reject) { ... }), Promise.resolve() and Promise.reject() API

• SHOULD pass all Promise/A+ Tests

  NOTE: Currently most implementations don't pass ES6 Promise Tests, so it's not on the MUST list up to now.

Contribute

1. Edit implementations.js
2. Edit package.json (npm install package-name-of-new-implementation --save)
3. Run npm test, if everything is ok then
