asyncpipe

Compose asynchronous functions in JavaScript

asyncpipe composes asynchronous functions, a perfect fit for functional programming with Promises or async/await. It was inspired by lodash.flow, which is excellent but does not support functions that return Promises.

Is this production ready?

Yes. This module:

• is small
• is tested with continuous integration
• works on Node.js v4+
• does not need to be built/transpiled
• does not have any production dependencies

Installation

This is a Node.js module available through the npm registry. Installation is done using the npm install command:

$ npm install asyncpipe

API

var asyncpipe = require('asyncpipe');

asyncpipe(func1, func2, ...)

Compose an asynchronous function from the series of input arguments (func1, func2, ...).

Any error thrown within the series of async functions will be thrown by the composed function.

Example

const asyncpipe = require('asyncpipe');

(async () => {
  const a = x => x + 1;
  const b = x => Promise.resolve(x * 2);
  const c = async x => {
    await someExternalService(x);
    return x;
  };

  const result = await asyncpipe(a, b, c)(99);
  console.log(result); // PRINTS: 200
})();
