Getting started with bluebird

Remarks#

This section provides an overview of what bluebird is, and why a developer might want to use it.

It should also mention any large subjects within bluebird, and link out to the related topics. Since the Documentation for bluebird is new, you may need to create initial versions of those related topics.

Installation or Setup

Node.js

npm install bluebird

Then:

var Promise = require("bluebird");

Browsers

There are many ways to use bluebird in browsers:

• Direct downloads
  • Full build bluebird.js
  • Full build minified bluebird.min.js
  • Core build bluebird.core.js
  • Core build minified bluebird.core.min.js
• You may use browserify on the main export
• You may use the bower package.

When using script tags the global variables Promise and P (alias for Promise) become available. Bluebird runs on a wide variety of browsers including older versions. We’d like to thank BrowserStack for giving us a free account which helps us test that.
