|
|
|
|
lie is a small, performant promise library implementing the [Promises/A+ spec](http://promises-aplus.github.com/promises-spec/) (Version 1.1).
|
|
|
|
Originally a fork of [Ruben Verborgh](https://github.com/RubenVerborgh)'s [promiscuous](https://github.com/RubenVerborgh/promiscuous), with version 2.6 it became a fork of [ayepromise](https://github.com/cburgmer/ayepromise) by [Chris Burgmer](https://github.com/cburgmer).
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm install lie
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
var Promise = require('lie');
|
|
// or use the pollyfill
|
|
require('lie/polyfill');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Either use it with [browserify](http://browserify.org/) (recommended) or grab one of the files from the dist folder:
|
|
|
|
- lie.js/lie.min.js exposes 'Promise' either as a UMD module or from the global scope, depending on if a CJS or AMD loader is available.
|
|
- lie.polyfill.js/lie.polyfill.min.js adds 'Promise' to the global scope only if it's not already defined (not a UMD).
|
|
|
|
## API
|
|
|
|
Implements the standard ES6 api:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
new Promise(function(resolve, reject){
|
|
doSomething(function(err, result) {
|
|
if (err) {
|
|
reject(err);
|
|
} else {
|
|
resolve(result);
|
|
}
|
|
});
|
|
}).then(function (value) {
|
|
//on success
|
|
}, function (reason) {
|
|
//on error
|
|
}).catch(function (reason) {
|
|
//shortcut for error handling
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
Promise.all([
|
|
//array of promises or values
|
|
]).then(function ([/* array of results */]));
|
|
|
|
Promise.race([
|
|
//array of promises or values
|
|
]);
|
|
// either resolves or rejects depending on the first value to do so
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Unhandled Rejections
|
|
|
|
In Node.js, lie emits an `unhandledRejection` event when a rejected promise isn't caught, in line with [how io.js does it](https://iojs.org/api/process.html#process_event_unhandledrejection). This allows it to act as a promise shim in both Node.js and the browser.
