afterward

afterward

Execute an error-first callback upon resolution or rejection of a promise, and return the promise.

This makes it easier to write functions that support both callback and promise based async patterns.

example

var afterward = require('afterward'),
    Promise   = require('promise-polyfill')

function greet (name, cb) {
    var prom = new Promise(function (resolve) {
        setTimeout(resolve.bind(undefined, 'greetings ' + name), 100)
    })
    return afterward(prom, cb)
}

// we can now use our fancy function either way...
// with a callback:
greet('jason', function (err, msg) {
    if (err) return console.error(err)
    console.log(msg)
})

// or a promise
greet('gege').then(console.log).catch(console.error)

api

var afterward = require('afterward')

prom = afterward(prom [, cb])

Upon resolution or rejection of the promise prom, execute the optional error-first style callback cb. The promise prom is returned.

testing

npm test [--dot | --spec] [--grep=pattern]

Specifying --dot or --spec will change the output from the default TAP style. Specifying --grep will only run the test files that match the given pattern.

coverage

npm run coverage [--html]

This will output a textual coverage report. Including --html will also open an HTML coverage report in the default browser.
