// add Promise.map that resolves your promises in a map.
Object.assign(Promise, {
  map: function(objectPromiseMap) {
    var keys = Object.keys(objectPromiseMap);
    return new Promise(function(resolve) {
      Promise.all(
        keys.map(function(key) {
          return objectPromiseMap[key].catch(function(error) {
            return Promise.resolve(error);
          });

Building a SASS framework

Consideration

• Could code splitting split my CSS by component, page ets.
• Why not use bootstrap
• Mobile first over desktop first / you choose
• responsive?

Design decitions

• colors aren't really important as they change on a per project basis

Message Queue and Task Runner

Goal

What I am thinking about is how to set up a message queue that will not only take messages with deadline / dates but also will know how to notify the parent process of the relevant event that has now become executable.

The requirements I have or this task runner is simple. It should store a task name in the database with either a local date or deadline. If a process deadline is close to becoming relevant the task runner should priorotize this task. The task runner need not be a part of the existing application. The date of the task is the date that determines when a task becomes active.

Inspiration

I appreciate what flux has done with their uni-directional flow of data in an application. I believe that the backend can benifit from such an approach.

Reason

I created this gist because of a recent question I asked in Z.A. Tech's slack channel.

I said: Hey node people. I have a question about Promise vs Async waterfall. What do you think is more readable? option 1:

    function (done) {
      DataModel.find({ owner: user._id }, function (err, response) {
        done(err, response);
