## Install
```
npm i then-callback --save
```


## Usage
> For more use-cases see the [tests](./test.js)

### [thenCallback](./index.js#L43)
> Basically, you just pass a promise and it returns promise, but `.then` from the returned promise can accept a callback function, instead of two arguments as usual - one for result, one for error.  
Notice that it also works as normal `.then` if you pass two arguments.

- `<promise>` **{Promise}**
- `return` **{Promise}**

**Example**

```js
const thenCallback = require('then-callback')
const promise = Promise.resolve(123)

thenCallback(promise).then((err, res) => {
  console.log('err:', err) // => null
  console.log('res:', res) // => 123
})

// but also works as normal `.then`
thenCallback(promise).then((res) => {
  console.log('res:', res) // => 123
}, (err) => {
  console.log('err:', err)
})
```

You just need to wrap a promise, then you can use `.then` as usual, or to pass callback-style function to it as first argument.

**Example**

```js
const fs = require('fs')
const redolent = require('redolent')
const readFile = redolent(fs.readFile)
const thenCallback = require('then-callback')

const thenCallback = require('then-callback')
var promise = readFile('package.json', 'utf8')
promise = thenCallback(promise)

promise.then((err, res) => {
  if (err) return console.error(err)
  console.log(JSON.parse(res).name) //=> 'then-callback'
})
```

Otherwise, if you pass two arguments and second is function, it will work as normal `.then`.

**Example**

```js
const thenCallback = require('then-callback')
const NativePromise = require('native-or-another')()

// rejected promise
var promise = NativePromise.reject(new Error('foo bar'))
thenCallback(promise).then(console.log, console.error) //=> Error: foo bar

// resolved promise
var promise = NativePromise.resolve(123)
thenCallback(promise).then(console.log, console.error) //=> '123'
```
