# promesify [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/apendua/promesify.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/apendua/promesify)

Suppose you have some asynchronous callback-based API, which you want to use but you like promises. This is where `promesify` becomes handy. So lets say you have some API object

```javascript

myApi = new SuperDuperApi();

```

Now instead of doing this:

```javascript

myApi.method1(function (err) {

  if (err) return;

  myApi.method2(function (err) {

    if (err) return;

    myApi.method3(function (err) {

      // and so on ...

    });

  });

});

```

thanks to `promesify` you can be a little smarter:

```javascript

var Promesify = promesify({

  methods: [ 'method1', 'method2', 'method3', /* ... */ ]

});

myApi = new Promesify(myApi);

myApi.method1().method2().method3().catch(function (err) {

  console.log('something went wrong');

});

```
