## Use named functions defined on objects to handle promises ### Rule name: `named-functions-in-promises` #### Configuration ``` ember/named-functions-in-promises: [2, { allowSimpleArrowFunction: false, }] ``` Setting `allowSimpleArrowFunction` to `true` allows arrow function expressions that do not have block bodies. These simple arrow functions must also only contain a single function call. For example: `.then(user => this._reloadUser(user))`. #### Description When you use promises and its handlers, use named functions defined on parent object. Thus, you will be able to test them in isolation using unit tests without any additional mocking. ```javascript export default Component.extend({ actions: { // BAD updateUser(user) { user.save().then(() => { return user.reload(); }).then(() => { this.notifyAboutSuccess(); }).catch(() => { this.notifyAboutFailure(); }); }, // GOOD updateUser(user) { user.save() .then(this._reloadUser.bind(this)) .then(this._notifyAboutSuccess.bind(this)) .catch(this._notifyAboutFailure.bind(this)); }, // GOOD if allowSimpleArrowFunction: true updateUser(user) { user.save() .then(() => this._reloadUser()) .then(() => this._notifyAboutSuccess()) .catch(() => this._notifyAboutFailure()); }, }, _reloadUser(user) { return user.reload(); }, _notifyAboutSuccess() { // ... }, _notifyAboutFailure() { // ... }, }); ``` And then you can make simple unit tests for handlers: ```javascript test('it reloads user in promise handler', function(assert) { const component = this.subject(); // assuming that you have `user` defined with kind of sinon spy on its reload method component._reloadUser(user); assert.ok(userReloadSpy.calledOnce, 'user#reload should be called once'); }); ```
