Hello,
I'm glad to announce a new release of NGINX JavaScript module (njs).
This release proceeds to extend the coverage of ECMAScript
specifications. This release adds Promise object support and
typed-arrays from ES6.
Notable new features:
- Promise support in r.subrequest():
: r.subrequest(r, '/auth')
: .then(reply => JSON.parse(reply.responseBody))
: .then(response => {
: if (!response['token']) {
: throw new Error("token is not available");
: }
: return token;
: })
: .then(token => {
: r.subrequest('/backend', `token=${token}`)
: .then(reply => r.return(reply.status, reply.responseBody));
: })
: .catch(_ => r.return(500));
