import {fs} from 'node-promise-es6';
 
async function run() {
  console.log(await fs.readdir('.'));
}

child_process

import {childProcess} from 'node-promise-es6';
 
async function run() {
  const {stdout, stderr} = await childProcess.exec('ls .');
  console.log(stdout, stderr);
}

Utilities

promisify

import {promisify} from 'node-promise-es6';
 
function callbackFn(x, y, callback) {
  callback(null, x, y);
}
 
async function run() {
  const promiseFn = promisify(callbackFn, ['x', 'y']);
  const {x, y} = await promiseFn(1, 2);
  console.log(x === 1 && y === 2);
}

A helper for wrapping Node.js-style callback-taking functions (error object as first argument) in a Promise API.
