rkusa / co-rethinkdb Goto Github PK

I'm fairly new to both RethinkDB and generators, so perhaps I'm just missing something incredibly obvious. I think I have a handle on using this from a generator function, in that I have to call yield to obtain results. I don't understand how to use it in a non-generator context. For instance:

passport.use(new LocalStrategy(
{usernameField: "login"},
function(username, password, done) {
console.dir(r.getConnection())
r.table('users').filter(function(doc) {
return doc('username').eq(username) || doc('email').eq(username)
}).run(r.getConnection(), function(err, res) {
console.log(res)
})
}
))

This tells me that argument 1 of the callback needs to be an open connection. I can't make this a *function because it hangs, and Passport isn't expecting that anyway.

If I'm using generators, do I need a generator-based and non-generator-based connection for any contexts where I need to run ReQL outside of a generator function? Apologies if I'm playing fast and loose with terminology; this is all very new to me. Might be nice if the README included a few somewhat more complex examples, and maybe a brief explanation of how to make this play well with non-generator code since not everything uses this style yet.

Thanks.
