example

var async = require('fantasy-async');

var get = async(request);
var write = async(fs.writeFile);

var requestPromise = get('/post/123')
.chain(function(post) { return get('/user/'+post.author); })
.fold(
	function error() { return Result.notFound() },
	function done(user) { return Result.ok(JSON.stringify(user)) }
);

install

npm install fantasy-async

api

async :: (a → (e → r → ()) → ()) → a → EitherT Promise e r

Given a function that takes a Node-style function (err, result) callback, returns a function that takes the same arguments and returns an EitherT Promise wrapping the error as Left or the result as Right.

See the code for EitherT for the complete API.
