Promise

The Napi::Promise class, along with its Napi::Promise::Deferred class, implement the ability to create, resolve, and reject Promise objects.

The basic approach is to create a Napi::Promise::Deferred object and return to your caller the value returned by the Napi::Promise::Deferred::Promise method. For example:

cpp Napi::Value YourFunction(const Napi::CallbackInfo& info) { // your code goes here... Napi::Promise::Deferred deferred = Napi::Promise::Deferred::New(info.Env()); // deferred needs to survive this call... return deferred.Promise(); }

Later, when the asynchronous process completes, call either the Resolve or Reject method on the Napi::Promise::Deferred object created earlier:

cpp deferred.Resolve(String::New(info.Env(), "OK"));

Promise::Deferred Methods

Factory Method

cpp static Napi::Promise::Deferred Napi::Promise::Deferred::New(napi_env env);

• [in] env: The napi_env environment in which to create the Napi::Promise::Deferred object.

Constructor

cpp Napi::Promise::Deferred(napi_env env);

• [in] env: The napi_env environment in which to construct the Napi::Promise::Deferred object.

Env

cpp Napi::Env Napi::Promise::Deferred::Env() const;

Returns the Env environment this Napi::Promise::Deferred object is associated with.

Promise

cpp Napi::Promise Napi::Promise::Deferred::Promise() const;

Returns the Napi::Promise object held by the Napi::Promise::Deferred object.

Resolve

cpp void Napi::Promise::Deferred::Resolve(napi_value value) const;

Resolves the Napi::Promise object held by the Napi::Promise::Deferred object.

• [in] value: The N-API primitive value with which to resolve the Napi::Promise.

Reject

cpp void Napi::Promise::Deferred::Reject(napi_value value) const;

Rejects the Promise object held by the Napi::Promise::Deferred object.

• [in] value: The N-API primitive value with which to reject the Napi::Promise.
