								  Generator based control flow goodness for nodejs and the browser,
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  using promises, letting you write non-blocking code in a nice-ish way.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								## Co v4
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  `co@4.0.0` has been released, which now relies on promises.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  It is a stepping stone towards [ES7 async/await](https://github.com/lukehoban/ecmascript-asyncawait).
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  The primary API change is how `co()` is invoked.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  Before, `co` returned a "thunk", which you then called with a callback and optional arguments.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  Now, `co()` returns a promise.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```js
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								co(function* () {
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  var result = yield Promise.resolve(true);
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  return result;
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								}).then(function (value) {
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  console.log(value);
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								}, function (err) {
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  console.error(err.stack);
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								});
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  If you want to convert a `co`-generator-function into a regular function that returns a promise,
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  you now use `co.wrap(fn*)`.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```js
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								var fn = co.wrap(function* (val) {
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  return yield Promise.resolve(val);
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								});
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								fn(true).then(function (val) {
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								});
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								## Platform Compatibility
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  `co@4+` requires a `Promise` implementation.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  For versions of node `< 0.11` and for many older browsers,
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  you should/must include your own `Promise` polyfill.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  When using node 0.11.x or greater, you must use the `--harmony-generators`
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  flag or just `--harmony` to get access to generators.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  When using node 0.10.x and lower or browsers without generator support,
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  you must use [gnode](https://github.com/TooTallNate/gnode) and/or [regenerator](http://facebook.github.io/regenerator/).
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  io.js is supported out of the box, you can use `co` without flags or polyfills.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								## Installation
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								$ npm install co
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								## Associated libraries
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Any library that returns promises work well with `co`.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								- [mz](https://github.com/normalize/mz) - wrap all of node's code libraries as promises.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								View the [wiki](https://github.com/visionmedia/co/wiki) for more libraries.

								## Examples
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```js
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								var co = require('co');
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								co(function *(){
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  // yield any promise
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  var result = yield Promise.resolve(true);
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								}).catch(onerror);
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								co(function *(){
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  // resolve multiple promises in parallel
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  var a = Promise.resolve(1);
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  var b = Promise.resolve(2);
							 | 
						||

								 | 
							
								  var c = Promise.resolve(3);
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  var res = yield [a, b, c];
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  console.log(res);
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  // => [1, 2, 3]
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								}).catch(onerror);
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 |

								 | 
							
								    yield Promise.reject(new Error('boom'));
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  } catch (err) {
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    console.error(err.message); // "boom"
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								 }
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								}).catch(onerror);
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								function onerror(err) {
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  // log any uncaught errors
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  // co will not throw any errors you do not handle!!!
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  // HANDLE ALL YOUR ERRORS!!!
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  console.error(err.stack);
							 |

								## Yieldables
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  The `yieldable` objects currently supported are:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  - promises
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  - thunks (functions)
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  - array (parallel execution)
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  - objects (parallel execution)
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  - generators (delegation)
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  - generator functions (delegation)
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Nested `yieldable` objects are supported, meaning you can nest
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								promises within objects within arrays, and so on!
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								### Promises
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								[Read more on promises!](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Promise)
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								### Thunks
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Thunks are functions that only have a single argument, a callback.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Thunk support only remains for backwards compatibility and may
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								be removed in future versions of `co`.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								### Arrays
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								`yield`ing an array will resolve all the `yieldables` in parallel.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```js
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								co(function* () {
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  var res = yield [
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    Promise.resolve(1),
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    Promise.resolve(2),
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    Promise.resolve(3),
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  ];
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  console.log(res); // => [1, 2, 3]
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								}).catch(onerror);
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								### Objects
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Just like arrays, objects resolve all `yieldable`s in parallel.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```js
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								co(function* () {
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  var res = yield {
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    1: Promise.resolve(1),
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    2: Promise.resolve(2),
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  };
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  console.log(res); // => { 1: 1, 2: 2 }
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								}).catch(onerror);
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								### Generators and Generator Functions
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Any generator or generator function you can pass into `co`
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								can be yielded as well. This should generally be avoided
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								as we should be moving towards spec-compliant `Promise`s instead.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								## API
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								### co(fn*).then( val => )
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Returns a promise that resolves a generator, generator function,
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								or any function that returns a generator.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```js
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								co(function* () {
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  return yield Promise.resolve(true);
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								}).then(function (val) {
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  console.log(val);
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								}, function (err) {
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  console.error(err.stack);
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								});
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								### var fn = co.wrap(fn*)
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Convert a generator into a regular function that returns a `Promise`.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```js
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								var fn = co.wrap(function* (val) {
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  return yield Promise.resolve(val);
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								});
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								fn(true).then(function (val) {
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								});
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
