#Simply Deferred ###Simplified jQuery Deferred API for Node and the browser

##Installation npm install simply-deferred

##Usage var Deferred = require('simply-deferred').Deferred;
var rendering = new Deferred(); rendering.done(function(){ console.log('Finished rendering'); });

//...

rendering.resolve();

##API Simply Deferred is partially compatible with jQuery's API, so the docs and usage are the same, except that they're restricted to the following methods:

• Deferred()
• deferred.state()
• deferred.done()
• deferred.fail()
• deferred.always()
• deferred.promise()
• deferred.resolve()
• deferred.resolveWith()
• deferred.rejectWith()
• deferred.reject()
• deferred.pipe()
• deferred.then()
• when()

###Usage with Zepto Simply Deffered also acts as a plugin to Zepto. The absence of a Deferred library was one of the biggest reasons I've been holding back, so I thought it made sense to write one. Once you have both Zepto and Simply Deferred on your page, just do Deferred.installInto(Zepto) to set it up. The installation makes the following changes to bring it closer to jQuery:

• Aliases the Deferred constructor to $.Deferred.
• Aliases the when method to $.when.
• Wraps $.ajax to return a promise, which has only the following methods: state(), done(), fail() and always(). The arguments passed to the done and fail callbacks are the same ones passed to the success and error options.

###Collaborating Please feel free to raise issues on github.com/sudhirj/simply-deferred/issues - both obvious bugs or incompatibilities with jQuery are welcome.

If you'd like contribute a fix or a feature, that would be even better. Please make sure all pull requests are accompanied by tests, though.

If you'd like to start work on a feature that is not part of the jQuery library, let's talk about it first - the goal here for this library to be a drop in replacement for jQuery, with the same docs and API.
