Support for Promise API

Are there any plans to add support for async/await Promise-style API calls?

Currently, I’m doing something like this const info = await promisify(spreadsheetInstance.getInfo)() but it’d be nice not to have to toss the wrapper on top.

Callbacks? Yuck! Luckily Node has a function built-in:

  const util = require('util');
  const auth = {
    client_email: xxxxx,
    private_key: xxxxxxxx
  };
  const spreadsheet_id = xxx;
  const GoogleSpreadsheet = require('google-spreadsheet');
  const doc = new GoogleSpreadsheet(spreadsheet_id );
  await util.promisify(doc.useServiceAccountAuth)(auth);
  const info = await util.promisify(doc.getInfo)();

I’ve just a published a new version of this module which is a complete rewrite using Google’s V4 Sheets API (v3 is being deprecated on March 3, 2020). Docs available here - https://theoephraim.github.io/node-google-spreadsheet

The new version is totally promise based. TBH I never liked using raw promises (.then/.catch) but with the addition of async/await, now it’s great 😃

Thanks! 😄
