ldapjs-promise

LDAP Client and Server API for node.js with Promise support.

Originally this was a promisfyied ldapjs library. Due to ldapjs being decommissioned, the core was merged into the project so the core can be directly modified.

Installation

npm install --save ldapjs-promise

Usage

For full docs, head on over to https://wslyhbb.github.io/ldapjs-promise.github.io/.

The methods signatures are the same except instead of callbacks they return promises.

import { createClient } from 'ldapjs-promise';

const client = createClient({
  url: 'ldap://127.0.0.1:1389'
});
await client.bind(dn, password);

The search method returns an EventEmitter so the user can handle each searchEntry as it is returned.

In order to await all of the results you could:

const response = client.search(base, options, controls);
const entries = [];
let referrals = [];
const results = await new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    response.on('searchEntry', entry => {
        entries.push(entry);
    });
    response.on('searchReference', referral => {
        referrals = referrals.concat(referral.uris);
    });
    response.on('error', error => {
        return reject(error);
    })
    response.on('end', result => {
        if (result.status !== 0) {
            return reject(result.status);
        }

        return resolve({
            entries: entries,
            referrals: referrals
        });
    });
});

If this is exactly what you want, an extension method searchReturnAll does this.

const results = await client.searchReturnAll(base, options, controls);
for (let entry of results.entries) {
    ...
}
