Can you recommend please some of these non CB based libraries?

The only one i've used before is Bluebird's `promisifyAll` method.

So when you require libraries, you can do so like:

    const fs = Promise.promisifyAll(require('fs'))
    // ... later    
    const fileContents = await fs.readFileAsync('filename.txt')

Basically it just adds "Async" after all functions that use node style callbacks.

mz (https://www.npmjs.com/package/mz) is my go-to. You just prefix the core lib ("fs") with "mz/" ("mz/fs") and you get the promised version.

    const fs = require("fs");
    fs.exists(`${ __dirname }/1`, (exists1) => {
      fs.exists(`${ __dirname }/2`, (exists2) => {
        console.log(JSON.stringify([exists1, exists2]));
      });
    });

vs

    const fs = require("mz/fs");
    Promise.all([
      fs.exists(`${ __dirname }/1`),
      fs.exists(`${ __dirname }/2`),
    ])
    .then((existers) => {
      console.log(JSON.stringify(existers));
    });

Or

    const fs = require("mz/fs");
    (async () => {
      console.log(JSON.stringify(await Promise.all([
        fs.exists(`${ __dirname }/1`),
        fs.exists(`${ __dirname }/2`),
      ])));
    })();

supertest-as-promised is pretty great for testing purposes.

Regular supertest supports promises.
