Async? about vibrant.js HOT 4 CLOSED

we use Q for that

from vibrant.js.

@watdafox Elaborate?

from vibrant.js.

Well, on our project, we use Q to make the entire process a promise.

1. Call a custom function where vibrantjs does its magic (behind a Q.defer).
2. Wait for the promise to be completed before continuing with vibrantjs data.

In application: https://git.popcorntime.io/popcorntime/desktop/blob/feature/materialDesign/src/app/lib/views/browser/item.js#L528

Line 528: getColor: function () { //let vibrantjs do stuff in a promise }; uses vibrantjs and Q.defer and it does w/e it wants.

Line 130, 203, 508: We call that 'getColor' function from elsewhere like this: this.getColor(true).then(function (color) { //do stuff when ready }); so we're sure to have the data when it's ready and not before.

Q is available here: https://github.com/kriskowal/q

Thanks for sharing.
Yea, there's many ways to do this async, there's a lot of promises libraries.
And to be honest, it's not that intensive of a calculation to begin with (takes a milisecond at max), so I don't really see the point of adding it to vibrant itself or something.
Answer to the initial question: use Q, or ES6 promises
Offtopic: @sv244 told me you guys were using vibrant, I think it's really cool, popcorn time is my favorite way to waste time!
