Dalek "Promise" Library

Dalek "Promise" Library

This library is here to exterminate a stack, or propagate an asynchronous promise.

It doesn't care about your humanity, it gets things done.

How to Use?

First, include dalek.min.js in your web page or node project.

For the web:

<script src='path/to/dalek.min.js'></script>

For Node.js:

var Dalek = require('./path/to/dalek.node.js');

Second, create a new dalek:

var robbie = new Dalek();

That's it.

Now you have a promise bot.

Details

The constructor accepts two arguments, in the style of jQuery, either the first argument can be an object, or you can pass it two functions.

Case 1:

function error(){
    console.log("EXTERMINATE!");
}
function success(){
    console.log("EXTERMINATE!!");
}
var robbie = new Dalek(succes,error);

In this case, our very expressive Dalek will log "EXTERMINATE!!" if he resolves successfully, or "EXTERMINATE!" if he were to fail.

Case 2:

var options = {
    success : function(){console.log("EXTERMINATE"),
    error : function(){console.log("EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!")}
};


var robbie = new Dalek(options);

As adorable as this little go-getter is, we now have a promise handler that will be ready to do your horrible bidding.

API Overview

Since I wasn't allowed to equip them with death rays, every Dalek supports a few new features

• run
• stack
• exterminate (runs through the stack)
• extend
• expectedThis
• and much much more...
