bluebird-extra

Extra methods for bluebird promises library

Current status

NPM version Build Status Dependency Status Dev dependency Status Coverage Status

API is stable. Test coverage of all features.

Suggestions on additional methods to add or ways to improve the existing methods are very welcome.

Usage

Augments bluebird with extra flow control methods, similar to what's available in async (for async code) or lodash (for sync code).

Loading module

To load module:

var Promise = require('bluebird-extra');

This returns an independent instance of bluebird v2, augmented with additional methods. It does not alter the global version of bluebird which would be received from require('bluebird').

Or, to use another version of bluebird as the base for augmentation:

var Promise = require('bluebird');
require('bluebird-extra').usePromise(Promise);

Additional methods

All the following methods can be called either on the Promise constructor, or a Promise instance.

e.g.

Promise.mapSeries([1, 2], function(value) {
	// do something
});

Promise.resolve([1, 2]).mapSeries(function(value) {
	// do something
});

eachParallel()

Like Promise.each() but run in parallel.

mapSeries()

Like Promise.map() but run in series.

mapOwn()

Aliases: mapObject(), mapValues()

Maps an object like lodash.mapValues()

Promise.mapOwn({ a: 1, b: 2 }, function(value, key, object) {
	// do something to the value and return it
});

mapIn()

Same as mapOwn() but also iterates through properties inherited from prototype.

mapOwnSeries()

Aliases: mapObjectSeries(), mapValuesSeries()

Same as mapOwn() but run in series.

mapInSeries()

Same as mapIn() but run in series.

own()

Iterates through properties of an object, calling the iterator function on each. Returns the object unchanged.

Promise.own({ a: 1, b: 2 }, function(value, key, object) {
	// do something
});

ownSeries()

Alias: forOwn()

Same as own() but run in series.

in()

Same as own() but also iterates through properties inherited from prototype.

inSeries()

Alias: forIn()

Same as in() but run in series.

eachAny()

Runs iterator on each item in an array in series until the iterator returns a result that is not undefined. Iteration is stopped and this result is returned.

ifElse()

Tests the value passed in. If truthy, the if function is run, otherwise the else function is run.

Promise.ifElse(testExpression, function(value) {
	// this runs if testExpression is truthy
}, function(value) {
	// this runs if testExpression is not truthy
});

each()

Aliases: forEach(), eachSeries()

Promise.each() is a native bluebird construct. forEach() and eachSeries() are aliases for it, included for consistency.

Tests

Use npm test to run the tests. Use npm run cover to check coverage.
