promitto is a small and dependency-free Promise/Deferred library for JavaScript environments which helps you when dealing with asynchronous programming patterns in an elegant, consistent and clean way.

It provides a simple API compatible with the Promise/A+ spec

It's written in Wisp, a Clojure like language which transpiles into plain JavaScript. It exploits some functional programming patterns such as lambda lifting, pure functions, higher-order functions, function composition, among others...

npm install promitto --save

Via Bower

bower install promitto

Via Component

component install h2non/promitto

Or loading the script remotely

<script src="//cdn.rawgit.com/h2non/promitto/0.1.2/promitto.js"></script>

It works properly in any ES5 compliant engine

• Node.js
• Chrome >= 5
• Firefox >= 3
• Safari >= 5
• Opera >= 12
• IE >= 9

var promitto = require('promitto')

Using Deferred pattern

var p = require('promitto')

function doAsyncJob() {
  var defer = p.defer()
  get('http://www.google.com', function (err, res) {
    if (err) defer.reject(err)
    else defer.resolve(res)
  })
  return defer.promise
}

doAsyncJob().then(function (data) {
  console.log(data)
}).catch(function (reason) {
  console.error('Error:', reason)
})

Using Promise pattern (Promise/A+ / ES6 compatible)

var Promise = require('promitto').Promise

var promise = Promise(function doJob(resolve, reject, notify) {
  get('http://www.google.com', function (err, res) {
    if (err) reject(err)
    else resolve(res)
  })
})

promise.then(function (data) {
  console.log(data)
}).catch(function (reason) {
  console.error('Error:', reason)
})

Create a new promitto promise passing a function task

promitto(function readPackage(resolve, reject, notify) {
  fs.readFile('./package.json', function (err, data) {
    if (err) reject(err)
    else resolve(JSON.parse(data))
  })
}).then(function (pkg) {
  console.log('Name:', pkg.name)
}).catch(function (reason) {
  console.error('Error:', reason)
})

Creates a Deferred object

Creates a new Promise compatible with the ES6 promise interface

Wrap an object that might be a value or a 3rd party promise

This is useful when you are dealing with an object that might or might not be a promise, or if the promise comes from a source that can't be trusted

Creates a promise that is resolved as rejected with the specified reason

Creates a promise that is resolved with the specified reason

Combines multiple promises into a single promise that is resolved when all of the input promises are resolved

Returns a single promise that will be resolved with an array/hash of values, each value corresponding to the promise at the same index/key in the promises array/hash

Return if a given value is a compatible promise

Resolves the derived promise with the value

Rejects the derived promise with the reason. This is equivalent to resolving it with a rejection constructed via promitto.reject

Provides updates on the status of the promise's execution. This may be called multiple times before the promise is either resolved or rejected

Expose the Promise object associated with this deferred

Regardless of when the promise was or will be resolved or rejected, then calls one of the success or error callbacks asynchronously as soon as the result is available.

The callbacks are called with a single argument: the result or rejection reason. Additionally, the notify callback may be called zero or more times to provide a progress indication, before the promise is resolved or rejected

Catch promise resolve as reject status. Shorthand for promise.then(null, onReject)

Allows you to observe either the fulfillment or rejection of a promise, but to do so without modifying the final value. This is useful to release resources or do some clean-up that needs to be done whether the promise was rejected or resolved

Handle the promise progress while it's still on pending state. This is useful when you want to report the state of the process until it's finally fulfilled (resolved or rejected)

Wanna help? Cool! It will be appreciated :)

You must add new test cases for any new feature or refactor you do, always following the same design/code patterns that already exist

Tests specs are completely written in Wisp language. Take a look to the language documentation if you are new with it. You should follow the Wisp language coding conventions

Only node.js is required for development
