Fluent Assertions Faces Backlash After Abandoning Open Source Licensing
Fluent Assertions is facing backlash after dropping the Apache license for a commercial model, leaving users blindsided and questioning contributor rights.
@google-cloud/promisify
Advanced tools
@google-cloud/promisify is a utility library that helps convert callback-based functions to promise-based functions. This is particularly useful for modern JavaScript development where promises and async/await syntax are preferred over traditional callback patterns.
Promisify a single function
This feature allows you to convert a single callback-based function to a promise-based function. The code sample demonstrates how to use the `promisify` function to convert a traditional callback function into one that returns a promise.
const {promisify} = require('@google-cloud/promisify');
function callbackFunction(arg1, arg2, callback) {
// Simulate an asynchronous operation
setTimeout(() => {
callback(null, 'result');
}, 1000);
}
const promiseFunction = promisify(callbackFunction);
promiseFunction('arg1', 'arg2').then(result => {
console.log(result); // 'result'
}).catch(err => {
console.error(err);
});
Promisify all functions in an object
This feature allows you to promisify all functions in an object. The code sample demonstrates how to use the `promisifyAll` function to convert all callback-based functions in an object to promise-based functions, appending 'Async' to the function names.
const {promisifyAll} = require('@google-cloud/promisify');
const obj = {
callbackFunction(arg1, arg2, callback) {
setTimeout(() => {
callback(null, 'result');
}, 1000);
}
};
promisifyAll(obj);
obj.callbackFunctionAsync('arg1', 'arg2').then(result => {
console.log(result); // 'result'
}).catch(err => {
console.error(err);
});
The `util.promisify` function is a built-in Node.js utility that converts callback-based functions to promise-based functions. It is similar to @google-cloud/promisify but is part of the Node.js standard library, making it a more straightforward choice for many developers.
Bluebird is a fully-featured promise library that includes a `promisify` function to convert callback-based functions to promise-based ones. It offers more features and better performance compared to @google-cloud/promisify, but it is a larger library and may be overkill for simple use cases.
Pify is a lightweight library that provides a simple way to promisify callback-based functions. It is similar to @google-cloud/promisify but is more minimalistic and has fewer dependencies, making it a good choice for smaller projects.

Table of contents:
npm install @google-cloud/promisify
const {promisify} = require('@google-cloud/promisify');
/**
* This is a very basic example function that accepts a callback.
*/
function someCallbackFunction(name, callback) {
if (!name) {
callback(new Error('Name is required!'));
} else {
callback(null, `Well hello there, ${name}!`);
}
}
// let's promisify it!
const somePromiseFunction = promisify(someCallbackFunction);
async function quickstart() {
// now we can just `await` the function to use it like a promisified method
const [result] = await somePromiseFunction('nodestronaut');
console.log(result);
}
quickstart();
It's unlikely you will need to install this package directly, as it will be
installed as a dependency when you install other @google-cloud
packages.
Samples are in the samples/
directory. Each sample's README.md
has instructions for running its sample.

The Google Cloud Common Promisify Node.js Client API Reference documentation also contains samples.
Our client libraries follow the Node.js release schedule. Libraries are compatible with all current active and maintenance versions of Node.js. If you are using an end-of-life version of Node.js, we recommend that you update as soon as possible to an actively supported LTS version.
Google's client libraries support legacy versions of Node.js runtimes on a best-efforts basis with the following warnings:
Client libraries targeting some end-of-life versions of Node.js are available, and
can be installed through npm dist-tags.
The dist-tags follow the naming convention legacy-(version)
.
For example, npm install @google-cloud/promisify@legacy-8
installs client libraries
for versions compatible with Node.js 8.
This library follows Semantic Versioning.
This library is considered to be stable. The code surface will not change in backwards-incompatible ways unless absolutely necessary (e.g. because of critical security issues) or with an extensive deprecation period. Issues and requests against stable libraries are addressed with the highest priority.
