Oath
Oath is a tiny javascript library for node and the browser that makes
it easy to build and interact with promise/future based APIs.
What is a future/promise anyway?
A future (or promise), is an alternative method to callbacks when working with asyncronous
code. For more information check out the very information Wikipedia article
on Futures and Promises.
About version 0.2.x
Version 0.2.x and the master branch represent a shift in oath's core fucus. Instead of providing helper
functions for manipulating the result set and deep chaining, this version allows you to manipulate the
result set directly, and provides helpers if this is to be done asyncronously. Docs coming shortly.
Installation
Oath is available for both server-side and the browser.
Node.js
Package is available through npm:
npm install oath
