[Aerogear-users] UnifiedPush Node sender move to Promises

[Luke Holmquist]

Hello people,

I think i would like to move the unifiedpush-node-sender,
https://github.com/aerogear/aerogear-unifiedpush-nodejs-client ,  to be
Promise based.

Currently it uses callback pattern that many node.js packages use as well
as emitting events.

When i first created this 3 years ago, that was sort of the standard way of
doing things,  but Promises have become very popular(i know i love them :))
and have been a native feature since node 0.12.x

considering we have not yet hit a 1.0.0, we can pretty much just make this
change and we will be ok.

If this is to big of a change all at once, we could always do both
callbacks and Promises.  I think we did this for Datamanager in the past.

Perhaps once we fully move to promises, then we can hit a 1.0.0

My only concern is other projects that might be using the sender that are
not yet on node 0.12 or above, since this is when promises became native.
I would really like to not have to include the polyfill.

i suppose those users would need to stick to the previous versions then.

anyway,  would like to hear some thoughts.
