grove:call-async

Get back the result of Meteor.call or Meteor.apply as a Promise with Meteor.callAsync or Meteor.applyAsync. You should use these methods if you're only concerned about the server's results of the Meteor Method — you either don't have client-side stubs or don't care what they return.

Meteor.callAsync and Meteor.applyAsync have the same API as Meteor.call, except you should not give a callback as the last argument.

This is a polyfill of Metor.{call,apply}Async as discussed in this pull request and will be deprecated when that is finished.

Note - this package requires using Meteor 1.2-rc.16 or greater.

Usage

const promise = Meteor.callAsync('someMethod', someArg1, someArg2);
promise.then((res) => {
  // res is what the server returned
});
promise.catch((err) => {
  // this is called if there was an error thrown from the Meteor method on the server
});

You could also be less verbose and drop the promise reference and chain the then and catch calls.

Testing

$ npm test

You'll have to open localhost:3000 to see the tests run
