cbwrap

Callback Wrap Utility

This is a very simple utility that provides functionality for moving between promises and node style callbacks. This library only supports es6 native Promises that are shipped with Node.

Does not bundle a shim for es6 promises, uses many es5 features.

Installation

Simply acquire it from npm.

npm install cbwrap

cb#wrap

This function wraps any callback based api to ensure it returns a promise. All context is maintained. If there is more than one argument, they are collapsed into an array to maintan coherence with the Promises/A+ spec.

var fs = require('fs');
var cbwrap = require('cbwrap');
 
var readFile = cbwrap.wrap(fs.readFile);
 
readFile('myfile').then((data) => {
  console.log(data);
}).catch((err) => {
  console.log('oh no an error!', err);
});

cb#nodeify

This function wraps any promise producing function and provides a callback interface as well. This makes it easy to support both Promises and Node style api's.

NOTE: This does not support an API that accepts an optional progess hook (function) and an optional callback. Pull requests welcome :)

var cbwrap = require('cbwrap');
 
function myApi (a) {
  return Promise.resolve(b);
}
 
exports.myApi = cbwrap.nodeify(myApi);
