make-callback

Make synchronous function or generator to support callback api

Install

npm i make-callback --save
npm test

Usage

For more use-cases see the tests

var makeCallback = require('make-callback')
var JSONParseAsync = makeCallback(JSON.parse)

JSONParseAsync('{"foo":"bar"}', function (err, json) {
  if (err) {
    return console.error(err)
  }

  console.log(json)
  //=> {foo: 'bar'}
})

You also can make generator that return and yield anything (string, array, object, function, thunk, promise or etc) to support callback api

var fs = require('mz/fs')
var makeCallback = require('make-callback')

function * gen (val) {
  var a = yield 'a'
  var b = yield {b: 'b'}
  var c = yield ['c', 'f']
  var d = yield 123
  var e = yield fs.readFile('./package.json')
  return [a, b, c, d, e, val || 'foobar']
}

var genCallback = makeCallback(gen)
genCallback(function (err, res) {
  if (err) {
    return console.error(err)
  }

  console.log(res)
  //=> ['a', {b: 'b'}, ['c', 'f'], 123, 'content of package.json',  'foobar']
  console.log(res.length)
  //=> 6
})

• manage-arguments: Prevents arguments leakage - managing arguments. From Optimization killers by Petka Antonov.
• handle-arguments: Handles given Arguments object - return separatly last argument (commonly callback) and other arguments as Array. Useful in node-style callback flow.
• handle-callback: Make promise to have support for callback api, it returns promise in that same time.
• always-callback: Create callback api for given sync function. Guarantee that given function (sync or async, no matter) will always have callback api and will handle errors correctly.
• always-thunk: Create thunk from async or sync function. Works like thunkify.
• always-promise: Create Bluebird Promise from given async or synchronous function. It automatically convert sync functions to async, then to promise.
• is-es6-generator: Check that given value is Generator
