Malicious npm Package Targets Solana Developers and Hijacks Funds
A malicious npm package targets Solana developers, rerouting funds in 2% of transactions to a hardcoded address.
universalify
Advanced tools
Make a callback- or promise-based function support both promises and callbacks.
The universalify npm package is designed to convert callback-based functions to ones that return promises, allowing for both callback and promise-based usage. This is particularly useful for supporting legacy code while taking advantage of the benefits of promises in newer code.
fromCallback
Converts a function that uses a callback to one that returns a promise, but still supports the callback interface.
const universalify = require('universalify');
const fs = require('fs');
const readFileAsync = universalify.fromCallback(fs.readFile);
// Using as a promise
readFileAsync('example.txt', 'utf8').then(contents => {
console.log(contents);
}).catch(error => {
console.error('Error reading file:', error);
});
// Using with a callback
readFileAsync('example.txt', 'utf8', (error, contents) => {
if (error) {
console.error('Error reading file:', error);
return;
}
console.log(contents);
});
fromPromise
Converts a promise-returning function to one that supports both promises and callbacks.
const universalify = require('universalify');
const fsPromises = require('fs').promises;
const readFile = universalify.fromPromise(fsPromises.readFile);
// Using as a promise
readFile('example.txt', 'utf8').then(contents => {
console.log(contents);
}).catch(error => {
console.error('Error reading file:', error);
});
// Using with a callback
readFile('example.txt', 'utf8', (error, contents) => {
if (error) {
console.error('Error reading file:', error);
return;
}
console.log(contents);
});
Pify is a package that promisifies functions. It converts functions that use node-style callbacks into functions that return promises. Unlike universalify, pify does not maintain callback support once promisified.
Bluebird is a comprehensive promise library that includes a promisify feature to convert callback-based functions into promise-returning functions. It is more feature-rich than universalify but also larger in size and does not support callbacks after promisification.
Util.promisify is a built-in Node.js utility function that converts a callback-based function into a promise-based one. It is similar to universalify but is limited to Node.js and does not support the original callback interface after conversion.
Make a callback- or promise-based function support both promises and callbacks.
Uses the native promise implementation.
npm install universalify
universalify.fromCallback(fn)
Takes a callback-based function to universalify, and returns the universalified function.
Function must take a callback as the last parameter that will be called with the signature (error, result)
. universalify
does not support calling the callback with more than three arguments, and does not ensure that the callback is only called once.
function callbackFn (n, cb) {
setTimeout(() => cb(null, n), 15)
}
const fn = universalify.fromCallback(callbackFn)
// Works with Promises:
fn('Hello World!')
.then(result => console.log(result)) // -> Hello World!
.catch(error => console.error(error))
// Works with Callbacks:
fn('Hi!', (error, result) => {
if (error) return console.error(error)
console.log(result)
// -> Hello World!
})
universalify.fromPromise(fn)
Takes a promise-based function to universalify, and returns the universalified function.
Function must return a valid JS promise. universalify
does not ensure that a valid promise is returned.
function promiseFn (n) {
return new Promise(resolve => {
setTimeout(() => resolve(n), 15)
})
}
const fn = universalify.fromPromise(promiseFn)
// Works with Promises:
fn('Hello World!')
.then(result => console.log(result)) // -> Hello World!
.catch(error => console.error(error))
// Works with Callbacks:
fn('Hi!', (error, result) => {
if (error) return console.error(error)
console.log(result)
// -> Hello World!
})
