promisize
Easily support both callbacks and promises in your js lib
promisize takes your function's callback argument and returns a new callback with a promise
property. When the new callback is called, it either calls the original callback or if no callback was given it fulfills the promise. promisize is lightweight and does not include any promise shims or dependencies but instead uses the globally defined Promise
. If Promise
is not defined (i.e. no native promise support) then callbacks still work as they would without promisize.
Usage
var promisize = { cb = // Do some async stuff then // Undefined if there is no Promise support // or if the original callback was defined return cbpromise}
API
var cb = promisize(function callback (err, result) {})
promisize
takes a nodejs style callback and returns another nodejs style callback. When the returned callback is called it either calls the original callback or fulfills the promise but never both.
cb.promise
The returned cb
has a promise
property that is only defined if the environment has Promise support (i.e. Promise
is defined) and the original callback was undefined. When the returned callback is called it fulfills this promise if it is defined or calls the original callback if the promise is undefined.
