<h2>Editing File: /usr/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/es6-promise/README.md</h2><form method='post'><textarea name='content' class='file-edit'># ES6-Promise (subset of [rsvp.js](https://github.com/tildeio/rsvp.js)) [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/stefanpenner/es6-promise.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/stefanpenner/es6-promise)

This is a polyfill of the [ES6 Promise](http://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-262/6.0/#sec-promise-constructor). The implementation is a subset of [rsvp.js](https://github.com/tildeio/rsvp.js) extracted by @jakearchibald, if you're wanting extra features and more debugging options, check out the [full library](https://github.com/tildeio/rsvp.js).

## CDN 

To use via a CDN include this in your html:

```html
&lt;!-- Automatically provides/replaces `Promise` if missing or broken. --&gt;
&lt;script src=&quot;https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/es6-promise@4/dist/es6-promise.js&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;script src=&quot;https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/es6-promise@4/dist/es6-promise.auto.js&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt; 

&lt;!-- Minified version of `es6-promise-auto` below. --&gt;
&lt;script src=&quot;https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/es6-promise@4/dist/es6-promise.min.js&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;script src=&quot;https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/es6-promise@4/dist/es6-promise.auto.min.js&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt; 

```

## Node.js

To install:

```sh
yarn add es6-promise
```

or

```sh
npm install es6-promise
```

To use:

```js
var Promise = require('es6-promise').Promise;
```


## Usage in IE&lt;9

`catch` and `finally` are reserved keywords in IE&lt;9, meaning
`promise.catch(func)` or `promise.finally(func)` throw a syntax error. To work
around this, you can use a string to access the property as shown in the
following example.

However most minifiers will automatically fix this for you, making the
resulting code safe for old browsers and production:

```js
promise['catch'](function(err) {
  // ...
});
```

```js
promise['finally'](function() {
  // ...
});
```

## Auto-polyfill

To polyfill the global environment (either in Node or in the browser via CommonJS) use the following code snippet:

```js
require('es6-promise').polyfill();
```

Alternatively

```js
require('es6-promise/auto');
```

Notice that we don't assign the result of `polyfill()` to any variable. The `polyfill()` method will patch the global environment (in this case to the `Promise` name) when called.

## Building &amp; Testing

You will need to have PhantomJS installed globally in order to run the tests.

`npm install -g phantomjs`

* `npm run build` to build
* `npm test` to run tests
* `npm start` to run a build watcher, and webserver to test
* `npm run test:server` for a testem test runner and watching builder
