p-lazy

Create a lazy promise that defers execution until .then() or .catch() is called

Useful if you're doing some heavy operations and would like to only do it when the promise is actually used.

Install

$ npm install --save p-lazy

Usage

const PLazy = require('p-lazy');

const lazyPromise = new PLazy(resolve => {
    someHeavyOperation(resolve);
});

// `someHeavyOperation` is not yet called

doSomethingFun.then(() => {
    // `someHeavyOperation` is called
    lazyPromise.then(console.log);
});

API

new PLazy(executor)

Same as the <code>Promise</code> constructor. PLazy is a subclass of Promise.

PLazy.from(fn)

Create a PLazy promise from a promise-returning or async function.
