It relies on any-promise to find a Promise library. You can use bluebird, q, when, or the native Promise implementation of Node.js or the browser.
condition()
Starts a condition chain.
condition().if(condition)
Starts an if step. condition is a function that gets the input value. If it returns true, the subsequent then/catch/finally calls will be invoked.
condition() ... elseIf(condition)
Starts an elseIf step. condition is a function that gets the input value. If it returns true, the subsequent then/catch/finally calls will be invoked, but only if the other if steps have not been invoked.
condition() ... else()
Starts an else step. The subsequent then/catch/finally calls will be invoked, but only if the other if/elseIf steps have not been invoked.
condition() ... end()
Returns a function that you can pass onto .then(...) that runs the entire chain.
condition().if().then(next)
Adds a then/catch/finally step if the last if condition is true.
