Promise support

• Support for Promises.

Promises? How classic classic ^^
I would recommend the use of observables with RxJs http://reactivex.io/

[ovi1337]

Your question was regarding promises right?

[roccomuso]

We could discuss it.

• They're easier to use, with a common and modern interface.
• Right now we're tailored to the "function" keyword for the callback local scope, limiting the use of arrow function too, this leads easily to scope's errors.

@ovi1337 I don't see any benefit in using it instead of a simple EventEmitter.

[ovi1337]

There are many benefits, you can handle subscriptions, unsubscriptions, debounces, filters, merges, you can collect and share events and many many more things. We're using it since a long time in our company and is very solid.
Angular and other large frameworks are also using it and it's epic and the best and most comfortable event handling what you currently can have.
We can completely get rid of the crappy callbacks. And working with events is much more clear and is much easier to develop.

[roccomuso]

No doubts about it, but it's a kinda big framework and I feel like we would introduce too much complexity. We could achieve the same with a simpler eventemitter2 maybe?

[ovi1337]

RxJs is completely tree-shakable - it means that only the used functions are injected into the final build, if you're using Webpack, FuseBox or other build tools.
It's maybe possible to use the other one, but it's less supported and less known. In total it's not really smaller.
ReactiveX is supported and improved by Microsoft, Soundcloud, AirBnB, Google, GitHub, Netflix and other global players. There are many many contributors and a managed team behind. This is a huge benefit...

But in general i totally agree @ChrisHanuta.

In fact of lightweight is the use of Promises much more comfortable instead of the callback hell.

[roccomuso]

Yeah but this would require also a bigger dev pipeline to support older versions of node etc. I agree to keep it as slim as possible with a few numbers of dependencies. Supporting Promise wouldn't be too hard to do. The idea could be to keep both callbacks and Promise.

Hi Guys
Thanks for this ads library, I'm waiting for promise support to use this lib.
Is there any update about it?
Thanks again.
