v1.2.1
denodeify
in internal codeReadme
Tool to turn functions with Node-style callback APIs into functions that return Promises.
Inspired by and adapted from Q's Q.denodeify
/Q.nfcall
function.
Warning: This micro-library doesn't force you to use any particular Promise implementation by using whatever Promise
has been defined as globally. This is so that you may use any ES6 standard Promise compliant library - or, of course, native ES6 Promises.
If you're running the code on a browser or node version that doesn't include native promises you will need to include a polyfill. The following polyfills are tested as part of this module's test suite:-
require('es6-promise').polyfill();
require('native-promise-only');
require('es6-shim');
global.Promise = global.Promise || require('lie');
Note: as of v1.2.0 you can use denodeify in the front end. Pull it in via CommonJS, AMD or simply add to your webpage and it'll be available on window.denodeify
.
npm install denodeify --save
Or:-
bower install denodeify --save
Simple example with readFile
:-
require('es6-promise').polyfill();
var denodeify = require('denodeify');
var readFile = denodeify(require('fs').readFile);
readFile('my-file.txt', { encoding: 'UTF-8' })
.then(function(text) {
console.log("My file's contents is: " + text);
});
(Note: you will need to also install es6-promise with npm install es6-promise
for this code sample to work within node versions that don't have Promise
natively available)
More complex example with exec
:-
You can also pass in a function as a second argument of denodeify
that allows you to manipulate the data returned by the wrapped function before it gets passed to the Promise's reject
or resolve
functions, for example:-
require('es6-promise').polyfill();
var denodeify = require('denodeify');
var exec = denodeify(require('child_process').exec, function(err, stdout, stderr) {
// Throw away stderr data
return [err, stdout];
});
exec('hostname')
.then(function(host) {
console.log("My hostname is: " + host.replace('\n', ''));
});
Or,
require('es6-promise').polyfill();
var denodeify = require('denodeify');
var exec = denodeify(require('child_process').exec, function(err, stdout, stderr) {
return [err, [stdout, stderr]];
});
exec('my-command')
.then(function(results) {
console.log("stdout is: " + results[0]);
console.log("stderr is: " + results[1]);
});
Useful for functions that return multiple arguments, for example child_process#exec
.
