@sagifire/async-utils v1.0.3

@sagifire/async-utils

A NodeJS library providing utilities for managing and simplifying asynchronous code tasks. It provides a set of functions to simplify the usage of callback-based APIs and EventEmitters by converting them to Promises.

Installation

Install the package using npm:

npm install @sagifire/async-utils

Usage

You can use this library in both CommonJS and ES Modules environments.

CommonJS

const { promisifySyncFunction, waitCallback, waitOnce } = require('@sagifire/async-utils');

// Example usage
const asyncFunction = promisifySyncFunction(syncFunction);
asyncFunction(arg1, arg2).then(result => console.log(result));

ES Modules

import { promisifySyncFunction, waitCallback, waitOnce } from '@sagifire/async-utils';

// Example usage
const asyncFunction = promisifySyncFunction(syncFunction);
asyncFunction(arg1, arg2).then(result => console.log(result));

API

promisifySyncFunction(...)

Converts a callback-based function to a promise-based one.

Parameters

• syncFunction {function(...args: any, function)} - The callback-based function to be converted.

Returns

• function(...[*]): Promise<unknown> - A function that returns a Promise resolving with the callback results or rejecting with an error.

Example

const syncFunction = (arg1, arg2, callback) => {
  callback(null, arg1, arg2);
};

const asyncFunction = promisifySyncFunction(syncFunction);
asyncFunction('foo', 'bar').then(result => {
  console.log(result); // ['foo', 'bar']
});

waitCallback(...)

Waits for a callback-based function to complete and returns the result as a promise.

Parameters

• syncFunction {function(...args: any, function)} - The callback-based function to be executed.
• fArgs {any} - The arguments to be passed to the function.

Returns

• Promise<function(...[*]): Promise<unknown>> - A Promise resolving with the callback results or rejecting with an error.

Example

const syncFunction = (arg1, arg2, callback) => {
  callback(null, arg1, arg2);
};

waitCallback(syncFunction, 'foo', 'bar').then(result => {
  console.log(result); // ['foo', 'bar']
});

waitOnce(...)

Parameters

• eventEmitter {EventEmitter} - The EventEmitter instance.
• eventId {string} - The event ID to listen for.

Returns

• Promise<unknown> - A Promise resolving with the event data.

Example

const { EventEmitter } = require('events');
const eventEmitter = new EventEmitter();
const eventId = 'testEvent';

setTimeout(() => {
  eventEmitter.emit(eventId, 'eventData');
}, 50);

waitOnce(eventEmitter, eventId).then(result => {
  console.log(result); // 'eventData'
});
