Meteor Promise

Overview

The deanius:promise package is a remarkable tool designed to enhance the way developers handle asynchronous calls in Meteor applications. With the growing need for more streamlined and manageable code, this package offers a blend of functionality and flexibility that simplifies working with promises. It is especially beneficial for those looking to integrate promises into their Meteor projects seamlessly.

This package provides several powerful methods that allow developers to execute asynchronous operations more intuitively, ensuring that applications remain responsive and efficient. Whether you're looking to improve data fetching, subscriptions, or writing smoother asynchronous code, deanius:promise is an excellent addition to any developer's toolkit.

Features

• Meteor.callPromise: This method is a straightforward alternative to Meteor.call, returning a Promise for the result without needing a callback, simplifying asynchronous code.

• Meteor.runAsync: Utilizing the co NPM Library, this feature allows the execution of JavaScript generator functions yielding promises, enabling a synchronous-like flow in writing asynchronous logic.

• HTTP.getPromise: Any HTTP object method can be called with a Promise-returning version by simply appending "Promise" to its name, making HTTP requests smoother and more manageable.

• Meteor.subscribe: The object returned from subscribing now includes a readyPromise() function that resolves when the subscription is ready, streamlining the handling of reactive data.

• Meteor.wrapPromise: This function converts any callback-style function into a Promise-returning function, making it comparable to Meteor.wrapAsync but with added utility for client-side operations.

• ReactivePromise: This function wraps other Promise-returning functions to create reactive helpers that automatically update when a promised value becomes available, enhancing the reactivity of the application.
