Add js-compat flag. #161

Closed back2dos closed 3 years ago

back2dos commented 3 years ago

This should make tink_based code more easily usable from JS/TS:

futures and promises will be thenables (if not even js promises)
outcome should be augmented to be something like { $type: 'Success', result: Data } | { $type: 'Failure', error: Failure } (this can probably be a standalone lib that could process all enums)

Promises and futures are taken care of. As for enums, I want to handle it separately.

kevinresol commented 3 years ago

Probably we can teach genes to take care of the enum generation

Curious what that would have looked like?

Well, it's not really possible, at least not without throwing laziness / suspension out the window, which is quite undesirable. As a middle ground, I've implemented the full promise interface.
