promise-light - npm

promise-light is standard ES6 Promise implementation. it supports browser Chrome, Firefox, ie11, ie9, ie8. (tested) also supports node.js/io.js.

it throws unhandled rejection error.

if you have native Promise then use it.

(faster than native Promise)

INSTALL:

for node.js or io.js

$ npm install promise-light --save

or

for browsers

https://lightspeedworks.github.io/promise-light/promise-light.js

<script src="https://lightspeedworks.github.io/promise-light/promise-light.js"></script>

PREPARE:

you can use Promise. (native Promise or promise-light)

(function (Promise) {
  'use strict';
  // you can use Promise
})(typeof Promise === 'function' ? Promise : require('promise-light'));

or

use native Promise or promise-light.

var Promise = this.Promise || require('promise-light');

native Promise is overwritten by promise-light.

var Promise = this.PromiseLight || require('promise-light');

    catch (error) { reject(error); }
  }
);
// setup(
//  function resolve(value) {},
//  function reject(error) {})

example

var p = new Promise(
  function setup(resolve, reject) {
    setTimeout(function () {
      if (Math.random() < 0.5) resolve('value');
      else reject(new Error('error'));
    }, 100);

       console.error.bind(console));

promise.then(onFulfilled, onRejected)

how to use promise.

p = p.then(
  function resolved(value) {},
  function rejected(error) {});

  },
  function rejected(error) {
    console.error(error);
  });

promise.catch(onRejected)
