I've been following async to sync discussions for years but I have one fundamental question. Is it possible to wrap an async function in a library such that it can be called from code that is written expecting a sync function? In other words could I make a library containing a readFileSync function that uses fs.readFile?
Using something like generators inside the library is legal as long as the caller isn't aware of this. Requiring the caller code to do a transpile is not legal. I should mention that this is for a node environment emulation that places calls over the network using proxies. The readFileSync code obviously can't go in a busy-wait loop waiting for the result from the net. -- Job board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ New group rules: https://gist.github.com/othiym23/9886289#file-moderation-policy-md Old group rules: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
