Merge this functionality upstream?

[paulmelnikow]

The more I work on this, the more I wonder: should the Promises API be merged into node-tmp?

Promises are so common these days that I'm not sure I see the benefit of shipping a version of node-tmp without elegant promise support. If users don't want the promises of course they don't have to use them.

The interface could be similar to Node's fs:

const { promises: tmp } = require('tmp')

await tmp.file()

If the parties agree I'd be happy to do the lifting!

I am for it. I would prefer not to maintain this package - I am doing it as a service for the community and while it is not a lot of work not maintaining it is even less work :)

As a side note - we have promise APIs for most APIs in Node now and the gaps are closing.

I think this would make sense. The status quo isn't bad but callbacks should be the second class citizen going forward most likely
