Promisify a callback-based function using [`any-promise`](https://github.com/kevinbeaty/any-promise).
- Preserves function names - Uses a native promise implementation if available and tries to fall back to a promise implementation such as `bluebird` - Converts multiple arguments from the callback into an `Array`, also support change the behavior by `options.multiArgs` - Resulting function never deoptimizes - Supports both callback and promise style
An added benefit is that `throw`n errors in that async function will be caught by the promise!
## API
### fn = thenify(fn, options)
Promisifies a function.
### Options
`options` are optional.
- `options.withCallback` - support both callback and promise style, default to `false`. - `options.multiArgs` - change the behavior when callback have multiple arguments. default to `true`. - `true` - converts multiple arguments to an array - `false`- always use the first argument - `Array` - converts multiple arguments to an object with keys provided in `options.multiArgs`
- Turn async functions into promises
```js var thenify = require('thenify');
var somethingAsync = thenify(function somethingAsync(a, b, c, callback) { callback(null, a, b, c); }); ```
- Backward compatible with callback
```js var thenify = require('thenify');
var somethingAsync = thenify(function somethingAsync(a, b, c, callback) { callback(null, a, b, c); }, { withCallback: true });
// somethingAsync(a, b, c).then(onFulfilled).catch(onRejected); // somethingAsync(a, b, c, function () {}); ```
or use `thenify.withCallback()`
```js var thenify = require('thenify').withCallback;
var somethingAsync = thenify(function somethingAsync(a, b, c, callback) { callback(null, a, b, c); });
// somethingAsync(a, b, c).then(onFulfilled).catch(onRejected); // somethingAsync(a, b, c, function () {}); ```
- Always return the first argument in callback
```js var thenify = require('thenify');
var promise = thenify(function (callback) { callback(null, 1, 2, 3); }, { multiArgs: false });
// promise().then(function onFulfilled(value) { // assert.equal(value, 1); // }); ```
- Converts callback arguments to an object
```js var thenify = require('thenify');
var promise = thenify(function (callback) { callback(null, 1, 2, 3); }, { multiArgs: [ 'one', 'tow', 'three' ] });
// promise().then(function onFulfilled(value) { // assert.deepEqual(value, { // one: 1, // tow: 2, // three: 3 // }); // }); ```
