1 # 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)
3 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).

46 var Promise = require('es6-promise').Promise;
52 `catch` and `finally` are reserved keywords in IE<9, meaning
53 `promise.catch(func)` or `promise.finally(func)` throw a syntax error. To work
54 around this, you can use a string to access the property as shown in the
57 However most minifiers will automatically fix this for you, making the
58 resulting code safe for old browsers and production:
61 promise['catch'](function(err) {
67 promise['finally'](function() {
74 To polyfill the global environment (either in Node or in the browser via CommonJS) use the following code snippet:
77 require('es6-promise').polyfill();
83 require('es6-promise/auto');
86 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.
90 You will need to have PhantomJS installed globally in order to run the tests.
92 `npm install -g phantomjs`
94 * `npm run build` to build
95 * `npm test` to run tests
96 * `npm start` to run a build watcher, and webserver to test
97 * `npm run test:server` for a testem test runner and watching builder
