Feature request: connect command returns a Promise

[olzzon]

I don´t know if it´s a hard one to implement.

But when initialising a CG connection with autoConnect: false
It would be great to have a promise when calling .connect()
so I could do a

connection.connect()
.then( setState......... etc.

Hope it makes sense :)

If not I will find some function that gives a promise and use that. :)

This TOTALLY makes sense. This was my first project with promises, and my first library project. Would love to rewrite major parts of it.

Quick fix you can use for now if you want:

connect () {
	return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
		const timeout = setTimeout(() => reject(), 10000)

		CasparCG.connect()
		CasparCG.once('connected', () => {
			clearTimeout(timeout)
			resolve()
		})
	})
}

I just put the promise to another command and did this:

connection.connect()
connection.stop(1, 10)
.then(
..........
