Breaking Promiss chains - Proposal - SkipTo/Resume/ResumeOrContinue
Hey guys, I had found some discussions on internet about a nice way to break a promise chain. Then I decided to share a solution that I am using for a while. I hope it may be useful for someone else. This Pr creates a Promise.skipTo static method, that allows us to skip as many "then" necessary to reach a Resume/ResumeOrContinue point, and then continuing from there.
I really wish you would have talked to us before you started all this work.
For what it's worth the "common" name for skipTo is goto and for resume it's "label".
Thanks @benjamingr, I may change it. I will talk to you guys next time ;-)
By the way, do you have a suggestion for the method "resumeOrContinue" Differently of "resume", the "resumeOrContinue" is also executed as a "then" block. It means that even if there is no "goto" point called this block is going to be executed anyway.
@benjamingr I tried to change the name to goto, however it was not working well because that is a key word.
I, personally, prefer the word skip because we are skipping some points/links in a chain. While goto make think about a "position". Whatever, actually does not matter too much :-).
I do not know if the Bluebird team are interested by this feature. If not, not feelings, just reject the PR.
