Async/Await for feed.get and other
xoryouyou opened this issue · comments
I am currently trying out hypercore and was wondering why all feed
functions are using callbacks.
For example https://github.com/hypercore-protocol/hypercore#const-id--feedgetindex-options-callback
To integrate hypercore in my project I've written a small Promise
wrapper around feed.get
.
Is there any async/await functionality in hypercore as of now? Since I couldn't find any.
Example:
var hypercore = require('hypercore')
async function get(feed, index) {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
feed.get(index, (err, data) => {
if (err) {
return reject(err);
}
resolve(data);
})
});
}
async function main() {
var feed = hypercore('./my-dataset', { valueEncoding: 'utf-8' })
feed.append('hello')
let result = await get(feed, 0);
console.log("result", result);
}
main();
Next's major has promise support (wip), for now you can use the promisifier to do so: https://github.com/andrewosh/hypercore-promisifier
Ahh perfect thats the stuff I was looking for.
