# es6-promisify
|
|
|
|
Converts callback-based functions to Promise-based functions.
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
Install with [npm](https://npmjs.org/package/es6-promisify)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm install --save es6-promisify
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
"use strict";
|
|
|
|
// Declare variables
|
|
const promisify = require("es6-promisify");
|
|
const fs = require("fs");
|
|
|
|
// Convert the stat function
|
|
const stat = promisify(fs.stat);
|
|
|
|
// Now usable as a promise!
|
|
stat("example.txt").then(function (stats) {
|
|
console.log("Got stats", stats);
|
|
}).catch(function (err) {
|
|
console.error("Yikes!", err);
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Promisify methods
|
|
```js
|
|
"use strict";
|
|
|
|
// Declare variables
|
|
const promisify = require("es6-promisify");
|
|
const redis = require("redis").createClient(6379, "localhost");
|
|
|
|
// Create a promise-based version of send_command
|
|
const client = promisify(redis.send_command, redis);
|
|
|
|
// Send commands to redis and get a promise back
|
|
client("ping").then(function (pong) {
|
|
console.log("Got", pong);
|
|
}).catch(function (err) {
|
|
console.error("Unexpected error", err);
|
|
}).then(function () {
|
|
redis.quit();
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Handle callback multiple arguments
|
|
```js
|
|
"use strict";
|
|
|
|
// Declare functions
|
|
function test(cb) {
|
|
return cb(undefined, 1, 2, 3);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// Declare variables
|
|
const promisify = require("es6-promisify");
|
|
|
|
// Create promise-based version of test
|
|
const single = promisify(test);
|
|
const multi = promisify(test, {multiArgs: true});
|
|
|
|
// Discards additional arguments
|
|
single().then(function (result) {
|
|
console.log(result); // 1
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
// Returns all arguments as an array
|
|
multi().then(function (result) {
|
|
console.log(result); // [1, 2, 3]
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
