A simple utility for promisifying functions and classes.
Read more about the client libraries for Cloud APIs, including the older Google APIs Client Libraries, in Client Libraries Explained.
Table of contents:
npm install @google-cloud/promisify
const {promisify} = require('@google-cloud/promisify');
/**
* This is a very basic example function that accepts a callback.
*/
function someCallbackFunction(name, callback) {
if (!name) {
callback(new Error('Name is required!'));
} else {
callback(null, `Well hello there, ${name}!`);
}
}
// let's promisify it!
const somePromiseFunction = promisify(someCallbackFunction);
async function quickstart() {
// now we can just `await` the function to use it like a promisified method
const [result] = await somePromiseFunction('nodestronaut');
console.log(result);
}
quickstart();
It's unlikely you will need to install this package directly, as it will be
installed as a dependency when you install other @google-cloud
packages.
Samples are in the samples/
directory. The samples' README.md
has instructions for running the samples.

This library follows Semantic Versioning.
This library is considered to be General Availability (GA). This means it is stable; the code surface will not change in backwards-incompatible ways unless absolutely necessary (e.g. because of critical security issues) or with an extensive deprecation period. Issues and requests against GA libraries are addressed with the highest priority.
