promisify-call

promisify-call

Promisify a function call so users can call a function with a callback or get a promise.

• 2.0 works only with native Promise so requires Node >= 4.0.
• 1.0 uses Bluebird and should work with older Node.js

Installation

npm install promisify-call

Usage

function _uppercase(param, fn) {
  setTimeout(() => {
    return fn(null, param.toUpperCase());
  }, 50);
}

function uppercase(param, fn) {
  return promisifyCall(this, _uppercase, ...arguments);
}

// now we can call it using callback-style
uppercase('foo', (err, res) => {
  console.log(res); // FOO
});

// OR promise style
const res = await uppercase('foo');
console.log(res); // FOO

API Reference
