Descrevit*

Sometimes methods in Node require async operations and have no sync variants. Using this function we can make this sync and keep our code clean.

Thanks to @abbr for providing deasync

Installation

Local

npm install --save descrevit

or global

npm install -g descrevit

Usage

Where yourAsyncMethod is your asynchronous operation

var sync = require('descrevit');

console.log('starting');

sync.do(function(){
    yourAsyncMethod(function(){
        console.log('operation done');
        sync.done();
    });
});

console.log('end');

Example

var sync = require('descrevit');

console.log('starting');

sync.do(function(){
    setTimeout(function(){
        console.log('timeout done');
        sync.done();
    }, 1000);
});

console.log('end');
