api

bbq: (promiser: () => Promise, advice?: {before: Function, after: Function}) => Promise

before and after are AOP advice, functions which can modify the control flow of the promiser.

• Advice can modify the return value by returning other than undefined or a Promise of undefined.
• Advice is called in the this context of a state object, which can be used to keep track of state between before and after advice for that promiser invocation.
• If before advice returns a value, it will short-circuit the promiser from being called.
• after advice has this.val set to the return value of the promiser. If after returns a value other than undefined or a Promise of undefined, it will be the ultimate resolved value; otherwise this.val will be used.
