Angular bluebird promises

Build Status Bower version npm version devDependency Status Codacy Badge

This is a drop in replacement for $q that makes the bluebird API compatible with angulars subset of $q then simply swaps it out.

With this module you can use all of bluebirds additional promise methods on the $q service, the full list can be found here:

http://bluebirdjs.com/docs/api-reference.html

Installation

The library depends on angularJS and Bluebird.

It is recommended that you install the library and its dependencies through bower:

bower install --save angular-bluebird-promises

You will then need to include the JS files for the plugin:

<script src="bower_components/bluebird/js/browser/bluebird.js"></script>
<script src="bower_components/angular/angular.min.js"></script>
<script src="bower_components/angular-bluebird-promises/dist/angular-bluebird-promises.min.js">

And finally add the module dependency in your AngularJS app:

angular.module('myApp', ['mwl.bluebird']);

Alternatively you can install through npm:

npm install --save angular-bluebird-promises

Then add as a dependency to your app:

angular.module('myApp', [require('angular-bluebird-promises')]);

Usage

Simply use $q as you normally would. It will function exactly as before, however you will now have bluebirds additional API methods available as well on all promises throughout your angular app.

Unhandled rejections

By default the value of onPossiblyUnhandledRejection is set to angular.noop. You can and should override this with your own handler in order to catch uncaught errors. For example:

angular.module('mwl.bluebird').run(function($q, $log) {
  $q.onPossiblyUnhandledRejection(function(err) {
    $log.warn('Unhandled rejection', err);
  });
});

If using the ui-router this will produce some noise. To get around this you can do something like:

$q.onPossiblyUnhandledRejection(function(exception) {
  if (exception.message.match(/transition (superseded|prevented|aborted|failed)/)) {
    return;
  }
  // Handle exception
});

Example

angular.module('mwl.example', ['mwl.bluebird']).run(function($q, $http) {
 
    var promises = [
        $http.get('test/angular.json'),
        $http.get('test/bluebird.json')
    ];
 
    //Note the use of spread which isn't available normally on $q
    $q.all(promises).spread(function(angular, bluebird) {
 
        console.info('\\m/ It worked! \\m/', angular.data.name, bluebird.data.name);
 
    }).catch(console.error);
 
});
