+
+ Generator based control flow goodness for nodejs and the browser,
+ using promises, letting you write non-blocking code in a nice-ish way.
+
+## Co v4
+
+ `co@4.0.0` has been released, which now relies on promises.
+ It is a stepping stone towards [ES7 async/await](https://github.com/lukehoban/ecmascript-asyncawait).
+ The primary API change is how `co()` is invoked.
+ Before, `co` returned a "thunk", which you then called with a callback and optional arguments.
+ Now, `co()` returns a promise.
+
+```js
+co(function* () {
+ var result = yield Promise.resolve(true);
+ return result;
+}).then(function (value) {
+ console.log(value);
+}, function (err) {
+ console.error(err.stack);
+});
+```
+
+ If you want to convert a `co`-generator-function into a regular function that returns a promise,
+ you now use `co.wrap(fn*)`.
+
+```js
+var fn = co.wrap(function* (val) {
+ return yield Promise.resolve(val);
+});
+
+fn(true).then(function (val) {
+
+});
+```
+
+## Platform Compatibility
+
+ `co@4+` requires a `Promise` implementation.
+ For versions of node `< 0.11` and for many older browsers,
+ you should/must include your own `Promise` polyfill.
+
+ When using node 0.11.x or greater, you must use the `--harmony-generators`
+ flag or just `--harmony` to get access to generators.
+
+ When using node 0.10.x and lower or browsers without generator support,
+ you must use [gnode](https://github.com/TooTallNate/gnode) and/or [regenerator](http://facebook.github.io/regenerator/).
+
+ io.js is supported out of the box, you can use `co` without flags or polyfills.
+
+## Installation
+
+```
+$ npm install co
+```
+
+## Associated libraries
+
+Any library that returns promises work well with `co`.
+
+- [mz](https://github.com/normalize/mz) - wrap all of node's code libraries as promises.
+
+View the [wiki](https://github.com/visionmedia/co/wiki) for more libraries.
+
+## Examples
+
+```js
+var co = require('co');
+
+co(function *(){
+ // yield any promise
+ var result = yield Promise.resolve(true);
+}).catch(onerror);
+
+co(function *(){
+ // resolve multiple promises in parallel
+ var a = Promise.resolve(1);
+ var b = Promise.resolve(2);
+ var c = Promise.resolve(3);
+ var res = yield [a, b, c];
+ console.log(res);
+ // => [1, 2, 3]
+}).catch(onerror);
+
+// errors can be try/catched
+co(function *(){
+ try {
+ yield Promise.reject(new Error('boom'));
+ } catch (err) {
+ console.error(err.message); // "boom"
+ }
+}).catch(onerror);
+
+function onerror(err) {
+ // log any uncaught errors
+ // co will not throw any errors you do not handle!!!
+ // HANDLE ALL YOUR ERRORS!!!
+ console.error(err.stack);
+}
+```
+
+## Yieldables
+
+ The `yieldable` objects currently supported are:
+
+ - promises
+ - thunks (functions)
+ - array (parallel execution)
+ - objects (parallel execution)
+ - generators (delegation)
+ - generator functions (delegation)
+
+Nested `yieldable` objects are supported, meaning you can nest
+promises within objects within arrays, and so on!
+
+### Promises
+
+[Read more on promises!](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Promise)
+
+### Thunks
+
+Thunks are functions that only have a single argument, a callback.
+Thunk support only remains for backwards compatibility and may
+be removed in future versions of `co`.
+
+### Arrays
+
+`yield`ing an array will resolve all the `yieldables` in parallel.
+
+```js
+co(function* () {
+ var res = yield [
+ Promise.resolve(1),
+ Promise.resolve(2),
+ Promise.resolve(3),
+ ];
+ console.log(res); // => [1, 2, 3]
+}).catch(onerror);
+```
+
+### Objects
+
+Just like arrays, objects resolve all `yieldable`s in parallel.
+
+```js
+co(function* () {
+ var res = yield {
+ 1: Promise.resolve(1),
+ 2: Promise.resolve(2),
+ };
+ console.log(res); // => { 1: 1, 2: 2 }
+}).catch(onerror);
+```
+
+### Generators and Generator Functions
+
+Any generator or generator function you can pass into `co`
+can be yielded as well. This should generally be avoided
+as we should be moving towards spec-compliant `Promise`s instead.
+
+## API
+
+### co(fn*).then( val => )
+
+Returns a promise that resolves a generator, generator function,
+or any function that returns a generator.
+
+```js
+co(function* () {
+ return yield Promise.resolve(true);
+}).then(function (val) {
+ console.log(val);
+}, function (err) {
+ console.error(err.stack);
+});
+```
+
+### var fn = co.wrap(fn*)
+
+Convert a generator into a regular function that returns a `Promise`.
+
+```js
+var fn = co.wrap(function* (val) {
+ return yield Promise.resolve(val);
+});
+
+fn(true).then(function (val) {
+
+});
+```
