Synopsis

$ = require('./jscex-jquery');

// Define an Async function with a special $await keyword in it
var fetch = $.async(function(url) {
    // $await takes anything that returns a Promise
    var it = $await( $.get(url) );
    // ...do something with it...
    return it;
});

// Return value of the $.async() call is always a Promise
fetch('http://.../').done(...).fail(...).always(...);

Description

This module exports $.Jscex as a jQuery plugin, providing an $.async helper that turns a regular function into one that returns a Promise object.

Functions defines with $.async has access to an extra $await keyword, which can implicitly wait for other Promise objects.

Please see example.js for a sample usage, and type make demo to see it in action.

The source code is in src directory and written in LiveScript. Note that LiveScript is not a runtime dependency of this module; it's only used for development.
