lineReader.eachLine(...).then is not a function about line-reader

[barroudjo]

Same here... Will try to find a workaround.
EDIT: solved it this way:

return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    lineReader.eachLine(file, function lineOperation (line, last, cb) {
      doYourThing(line, cb);
    }, function finished (err) {
      if (err) return reject(err);
      resolve();
    });
  });

Documentation (README.md) updated on Github but not NPM site.

Also seeing this issue...

import lineReader from 'line-reader';

export const eachLine = (filename, iteratee) => new Promise(((resolve, reject) => {
  lineReader.eachLine(filename, iteratee, (err) => {
    if (err) {
      reject(err);
    } else {
      resolve();
    }
  });
}));

await eachLine('file.txt', (line) => {
  // ...
}

Reading the documentation now, this is what's recommended:

const lineReader = require("line-reader");
const Promise = require("bluebird");
const eachLine = Promise.promisify(lineReader.eachLine);
eachLine(path, function (line) {
  // do your thing
}).then(() => {
  // All the lines are read
});

I'm seeing this as well, using version 0.4.0. Tried to follow the example as given in the documentation.

I get the same error

    TypeError: lineReader.eachLine(...).then is not a function

from https://github.com/wallali/geocoder.js/blob/master/data/build.js
I don't know how to fix it.

If you're still having issues, node has an inbuilt module that does the same (and can be easily wrapped in a promise) called readline.
