As mentioned in the primary documentation, using the Fiber class directly is generally not recommended. Instead it's recommended that you use some kind of abstraction which uses Fiber internally to create a more flexible or safe interface for your project. Included with node-fibers is the Future class (documented @ node-fibers), however by no means should Future be considered the only option. Listed below are known projects which use node-fibers:
sethyuan/asyncflow asyncflow is an expressive, capable and easy to use async flow library based on node-fibers. It supports parallel calls, concurrency limit setting and features a very friendly interface for coding asynchronous calls in a synchronous way.
0ctave/node-sync node-sync is a simple library that allows you to call any asynchronous function in synchronous way. The main benefit is that it uses javascript-native design - Function.prototype.sync function, instead of heavy APIs which you'll need to learn. Also, asynchronous function which was called synchronously through node-sync doesn't blocks the whole process - it blocks only current thread!
olegp/common-node implements a number of CommonJS proposals on top of Node.js using node-fibers. Fibers are used to emulate multi-threading within a single process, allowing one to use a synchronous programming style.
lm1/node-fibers-promise fibers-promise is a small yet powerful library based on fibers. A promise is just a value container with build-in synchronisation mechanism. Promises allow you to get rid of callbacks clutter.
chriso/synchronous see this blog post for more information.
scriby/asyncblock A simple stop and go interface to fibers, with parallel execution support, error handling, and tracking of call stacks across asynchronous boundaries.
streamline.js A small extension to the JavaScript language to simplify async programming. Gives you the option to generate callback-based or fibers-based code. Supports futures too.
Fibrous provides an easy model for mixing asynchronous and synchronous programming styles using node-fibers and its Future implementation. Includes connect middleware for express apps and test helpers for using fibrous in your applications.
Meteor is an ultra-simple environment for building modern web applications.
Wait.for is a simple, straightforward abstraction over Fibers. You can wait.for(any_async_function)
asyncawait brings C#'s async/await style of asynchronous coding to Node.js, with Promises in the place of C#'s Tasks. It's a tiny abstraction over fibers.
