Promises API

The library uses a promise-based wrapper elegant and made easy way to manage async tasks. It uses internally Q.js

The promise resolve/error object has the following members:

data The HTTP response body or error message. It can be an object if it was served as application/json mime type
code The HTTP response status code
status The HTTP status string
response The HTTP native response object

Testing

Clone the repository

$ git clone https://github.com/h2non/node-bintray.git && cd node-bintray

Install dependencies

$ npm install

Compile and test (you should have installed grunt-cli as global package)

$ npm test

Add mock test cases in test/mocks/ like JSON data collection
