JavaScript: Convert an asynchronous function to return a promise

JavaScript fundamental (ES6 Syntax): Exercise-162 with Solution

Write a JavaScript program to convert an asynchronous function to return a promise.

• Use currying to return a function returning a Promise that calls the original function.
• Use the rest operator (...) to pass in all the parameters.
• Note: In Node 8+, you can use util.promisify.

Sample Solution:

JavaScript Code:

//#Source https://bit.ly/2neWfJ2 
const promisify = func => (...args) =>
  new Promise((resolve, reject) =>
    func(...args, (err, result) => (err ? reject(err) : resolve(result)))
  );
const delay = promisify((d, cb) => setTimeout(cb, d));
delay(2000).then(() => console.log('Hi!')); // // Promise resolves after 2s

Sample Output:

Hi!
