Let your JS API users either give you a callback or receive a promise
The 'call-me-maybe' npm package is designed to handle callbacks and promises in a unified way. It allows developers to write functions that can return a promise if no callback is provided, or execute a callback if one is given. This flexibility makes it easier to work with asynchronous code in JavaScript.
Handling callbacks and promises
This feature allows a function to handle both callbacks and promises. If a callback is provided, it is called with the result; otherwise, a promise is returned. The code sample demonstrates how to implement a simple asynchronous operation that can be used either way.
const maybe = require('call-me-maybe');
function asyncOperation(callback) {
return maybe(callback, new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
setTimeout(() => resolve('Done!'), 1000);
}));
}
// Using with callback
asyncOperation(result => console.log(result));
// Using as a promise
asyncOperation().then(result => console.log(result));
Bluebird is a comprehensive promise library that provides a rich set of features for working with promises. It includes utilities for converting callback-based APIs to promises, which is similar to what 'call-me-maybe' offers, but it is more feature-rich and includes optimizations for performance.
Pify is a module that converts callback-based functions or modules to return promises. It is similar to 'call-me-maybe' in that it helps bridge the gap between callbacks and promises, but it focuses solely on converting existing functions rather than handling both styles in new functions.
Let your JS API users either give you a callback or receive a promise.
var maybe = require("call-me-maybe")
module.exports = function asyncFunc (cb) {
return maybe(cb, new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
// ...
}))
}
If the callback cb
is truthy, returns undefined
and will call cb
when promise
is settled. The parameters passed to cb
are standard error-first:
promise
is fulfilled, then it is called with the result of the promise: cb(null, result)
promise
is rejected, then it is called with the rejection error: cb(err)
If cb
is falsey, then promise
is returned.
