Instapromise
Promisify Node-style asynchronous functions by putting a .promise
after them (or after the object for methods).
If you use this library then if you put .promise
after a Node-style
asynchronous function, it will turn it into a function that returns a promise
instead of taking a callback.
import 'instapromise';
import fs from 'fs';
let p = fs.readFile.promise('/tmp/hello', 'utf8');
p.then(console.log);
The original function is available as a property on the promise-generating function (.___instapromiseOriginalFunction___
).
If you want to promisify methods, use .promise
after the object and before the method name.
import 'instapromise';
import fs from 'fs';
let p = fs.promise.readFile('/tmp/hello', 'utf8');
p.then(console.log);
Changelog
2.0.7
Non-enumerable properties like class methods are now promisified.
Functions with names that would cause syntax errors (like default
) are supported.
2.0.3
The ___instapromiseOriginalFunction___
property is now non-enumerable so it doesn't show up when serializing functions whose promise
property has been accessed before.
2.0.0
The Promise
polyfill is no longer provided. 1.x provided a polyfill for environments without a native Promise
implementation, but in general, most environments you'll use now provide Promise
.
