# es6-promisify

Converts callback-based functions to Promise-based functions.

## Install

Install with npm

npm install --save es6-promisify

## Example

"use strict";
// Declare variables
const promisify = require("es6-promisify");
const fs = require("fs");
// Convert the stat function
const stat = promisify(fs.stat);
// Now usable as a promise!
stat("example.txt").then(function (stats) {
console.log("Got stats", stats);
}).catch(function (err) {
console.error("Yikes!", err);
});

## Promisify methods

"use strict";
// Declare variables
const promisify = require("es6-promisify");
const redis = require("redis").createClient(6379, "localhost");
// Create a promise-based version of send_command
const client = promisify(redis.send_command, redis);
// Send commands to redis and get a promise back
client("ping").then(function (pong) {
console.log("Got", pong);
}).catch(function (err) {
console.error("Unexpected error", err);
}).then(function () {
redis.quit();
});

## Handle callback multiple arguments

"use strict";
// Declare functions
function test(cb) {
return cb(undefined, 1, 2, 3);
}
// Declare variables
const promisify = require("es6-promisify");
// Create promise-based version of test
const single = promisify(test);
const multi = promisify(test, {multiArgs: true});
// Discards additional arguments
single().then(function (result) {
console.log(result); // 1
});
// Returns all arguments as an array
multi().then(function (result) {
console.log(result); // [1, 2, 3]
});
