It's still pretty common to be forced to use an API that doesn't support promises. While a promise API is often preferred, it's not always available.

In Node.js >v8.0.0 you can make use of the built-in `util` package which exposes a
|
||||
[promisify](https://nodejs.org/api/util.html#util_util_promisify_original) method. This method helps us convert our original function to a promise-based function so that it returns the callback.
|
||||
|
||||
Using our example from earlier, we can write it as:
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
const util = require("util")
|
||||
|
||||
const getWeatherAsync = util.promisify(getWeather)
|
||||
|
||||
const weather = await getWeatherAync("Los Angeles").catch(console.log)
|
||||
console.log(weather)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Note:** the `promisify` method adds a extra argument to the arguments you passed in. In this case we are calling the custom function with a single parameter of type `String`, which means the original function should also accept `(String, Function)`, `Function` being the callback `(error, result)`.
