jqpromise.js
wrap jQuery.Deferred to make it more like native Promises
What is this?
This is handy for older projects that still have jQuery. Why load a separate Promises poly-fill when there's a "good enough" implementation buried in jQuery?
This wrapper exports a new constructor that internally uses $.Deferred. The difference is the argument is the same sort of callback that native Promises uses, instead of the $.Deferred argument.
Usage
// $.Deferred
var dfrd = new $.Deferred(function (d) {
setTimeout(function () {
d.resolve(); // or d.reject();
}, 0);
});
// native Promise
var promise = new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {
setTimeout(function () {
resolve(); // or reject();
}, 0);
});
// JQPromise
var jqp = new JQPromise(function (resolve, reject) {
setTimeout(function () {
resolve(); // or reject();
}, 0);
});
// native Promise falling back to JQPromise
var P = window.Promise || window.JQPromise;
var p = new P(function (resolve, reject) {
setTimeout(function () {
resolve(); // or reject();
}, 0);
});
