Resolve a promise from a custom promise

Or: Turning a function into a promise

What most Angular Promise Tutorials Fail to teach You: Creating the promise

So many times while learning how to use promises, or trying to use them in my Angular applications, I would discover pieces of functionality that needed to be a promise, but weren't a $resource (or one of it's derivates).

Most tutorials show a final result of something like this:

// It is important to declare your variables.
(function() {
var foo = 'Hello, world!';
print(foo); //=> Hello, world!
})();
// Because if you don't, the become global variables.
(function() {
#!/usr/bin/env bash
uninstall() {
list=`gem list --no-versions`
for gem in $list; do
gem uninstall $gem -aIx
done
gem list
gem install bundler
}
