npm install sinon-promisesinon-promise
=============

Sinon with promises
sinon-promise currently only supports Q and only works on the node platform
##Install it
``shell`
npm install sinon-promise
##Add it
`javascript
var sinon = require('sinon'),
sinonPromise = require('sinon-promise');
sinonPromise(sinon);
`
##Use it
`javascript
var dbMock = {
query: sinon.promise()
};
var success = sinon.spy();
var fail = sinon.spy();
dbMock.query('stuffs').then(success).catch(fail);
dbMock.query.resolve({ data: 'herp '});
sinon.assert.calledOnce(success);
sinon.assert.calledWith(success, { data: 'herp' });
sinon.assert.notCalled(fail);
`
##Immediate invocation
A promise never resolves immediately. It always waits until the next event cycle.
In order to make synchronous testing easy, a sinonPromise always returns immediately.
If you don't want this behavior, pass in `false` to tell it not to flush:
`javascript`
var promise = sinon.promise(false);
###Automatic invocation
If you want your promise to resolve or reject immediately when called, use `resolves` and `rejects``javascript`
var autoResolving = sinon.promise().resolves('foo');
var autoRejecting = sinon.promise().rejects('bar');
var spy = sinon.spy();
autoResolving().then(spy);
// spy is called with 'foo'
autoRejecting().catch(spy);
// spy is called with 'bar'
##sinonPromise.Q
The promise implementation in sinonPromise is a changed version of Q. To get your test modules
to use this version of promises (Why? See Immediate invocation!), you can use `proxyquire`
Module
`javascript`
var Q = require('q');
var deferred = Q.defer(); // you can pass the false flag here as well
Test
`javascript
var proxyquire = request('proxyquire'),
sinon = require('sinon'),
sinonPromise = require('sinonPromise');
sinonPromise(sinon);
var testModule = proxyquire('./myModule', {
'q': sinonPromise.Q
});
`
###Call by numbers
`javascript
var dbMock = {
query: sinon.promise()
};
var success1 = sinon.spy();
var fail1 = sinon.spy();
dbMock.query('stuffs').then(success1).catch(fail1);
dbMock.query('others').then(success2).catch(fail2);
dbMock.query.firstCall.resolve({ data: 'herp '});
dbMock.query.secondCall.reject('Error');
sinon.assert.calledWith(success1, { data: 'herp' });
sinon.assert.notCalled(fail1);
sinon.assert.notCalled(success2);
sinon.assert.calledWith(fail2, 'Error');
