polygoat

polygoat is a library to make functions support both callback and promise styles.

• no dependencies
• very small, < 30 lines of code
• no promise support/polyfill required
• simple, hack-free
• Node.js and browsers
• fast, see benchmark

Getting started

npm install polygoat

---

var pg = require("polygoat");

or

<script src="node_modules/polygoat/index.js"></script>

var pg = window.polygoat;

Usage

// wrap an asynchronous function with polygoat
function hybridReaddir(path, callback) {
  return pg(done => {
    fs.readdir(path, done);
  }, callback);
}

// hybridReaddir can be used as a promise
hybridReaddir("/").then(console.log);

// or with a callback
hybridReaddir("/", console.log);

// or with async/await
(async () => {
  console.log("listing...");
  console.log(await hybridReaddir("/"));
  console.log("done");
})();

// you can also pass the Promise implementation of your choice
var bluebird = require("bluebird");

function hybridReaddir(path, callback) {
  return pg(
    function(done) {
      fs.readdir(path, done);
    },
    callback,
    bluebird
  );
}

hybridReaddir() instanceof bluebird; // true
