plite

Tiny, fast, light-weight JavaScript promises.

- Less than 500 bytes gzipped and minified
- Super fast http://jsperf.com/plite/14
- Faster than native in many cases


Usage

Plite should work as a shim for ES6 promises, if you do this:

!this.Promise && (this.Promise = Plite);

Create a resolved promise:

Plite.resolve(data);

Create a rejected promise:

Plite.reject(err);

Resolve a promise after a bit:

Plite(function (resolve) {
setTimeout(function () {
resolve('all done!');
}, 100);
});

Reject a promise after a bit:

Plite(function (resolve, reject) {
setTimeout(function () {
reject('Ruh roh!');
}, 100);
});

Promises supports chaining:

var p = Plite.resolve('Hurrah!');

p.then(function (msg) {
return msg + ' on ' + new Date().toString();
}).then(function (msg) {
alert('GOOD: ' + msg);
}).catch(function (err) {
alert('ERR: ' + err);
});

Race and All

All works as documented in MDN.

So does race.

With the caveat that the iterable argument is treated as an array. So:

Plite.all([promise1, promise2]).then(function (data) {
// data is the array of values that the promises resolved to...
}).catch(function (err) {
// err is the error of to the first failed promise in the array
});
