Async brotli decompress-compress about node HOT 13 OPEN

like for fs and timers, ideally, you should be able to require zlib/promises.
However it has not been implemented yet and zlib doesnt have promise based apis

from node.

Could you do it for me

from node.

I'm not an expert on ZLIB (or even a novice), but someone will likely implement it eventually. However, it will take time, so I wouldn't expect it anytime soon.

from node.

Just curious, but what's wrong with the util.promisify way?

from node.

i just ugly having to declare each function separatly and having to import another lib to the code

from node.

im referring to brotli but it would also be good for gzip, deflate, etc.

from node.

Yes but why are they not inside zlib? Its just confusing

from node.

also i get an error

from node.

also i get an error

For other api like fs we ship the promise based version in fs/promises.
In case of zlib this has not been done, if someone is interested in implementing it I wouldnt object

from node.

Should I add "help wanted" for someone to take on the issue?

(ping) @nodejs/zlib in case they are already on the case

from node.

so this feature will actualy will be shiped to node?

but why dont just make their async function inside zlib 🙄

so this feature will actualy will be shiped to node?

It's possible, but someone would have to implement it, so that takes time and energy.
