promisify-selected-methods

Given an object with methods and a list of method names, return a new object with promisified bound versions of those methods.

API

This module exports one function with two modes:

prFunc = promisifySelectedMethods(obj, oneMethodName)

obj can be anything. If it's false-y, prFunc will be false.

oneMethodName can be:

• false-y, then prFunc will be false.
• a string or number, then a method of that name is looked up in obj, bound to obj, promisified and returned as prFunc.

prFuncs = promisifySelectedMethods(obj, methodNames)

obj can be anything. If it's false-y, prFuncs will be false.

prFuncs will be a dictionary object if you provide proper methodNames, i.e. either

• an array, then keys in prFuncs will refer to the same-named method in obj, no magic.
• a dictionary object, mapping desired method names (keys in prFuncs) to the callback methods' name (key in obj). Special values:
  • true: Use same method name.
  • null, false: Ignore this entry.

methodNames that point to something that doesn't look like a function, will be ignored.

Usage

from test/usage.mjs:

import nodeFs from 'fs';
import pifyMtds from 'promisify-selected-methods';

const readLinkPr = pifyMtds(nodeFs, 'readlink');
const promising = {
  ...pifyMtds(nodeFs, ['chmod', 'stat']),
  ...pifyMtds(nodeFs, {
    readFile: true,       // keep original name
    readDir: 'readdir',   // rename to camelCase
    ignored: null,
    alsoIgnored: false,
  }),
};
const expectedMethodNames = ['chmod',
  'readDir', 'readFile', 'stat'];
