Create callback api for given sync function. Guarantee that given function (sync or async, no matter) will always have callback api and will handle errors correctly.

Install

npm i always-callback --save
npm test

Usage

For more use-cases see the tests

  • <fn> {Function} function to transform
  • return {Function} async function that must have callback

It is useful for control-flow and hybrid APIs

Example

var fs = require('fs')
var alwaysCallback = require('always-callback')

// if sync function given, transform it to async
var parse = alwaysCallback(JSON.parse)
var stringify = alwaysCallback(JSON.stringify)
var readFile = alwaysCallback(fs.readFileSync)

// if asynchronous function given, it remains async
var statFile = alwaysCallback(fs.stat)

parse('{"foo":"bar"}', function (err, res) {
  console.log(err) //=> null
  console.log(res) //=> { foo: 'bar' }
})

stringify({foo: 'bar', baz: 'qux'}, null, 2, function (err, res) {
  //=> it would prettify and stringify json
  console.log(err) //=> null
  console.log(res)
  //=> {
  //   "foo": "bar",
  //   "baz": "qux"
  // }
})

readFile('./package.json', 'utf8', function (err, res) {
  console.log(err) //=> null
  console.log(res) //=> { name: 'always-callback', ... }
})

statFile('./package.json', function (err, res) {
  console.log(err) //=> null
  console.log(res) //=> { dev: 64770, mode: 33204, ... }
})

  • make-callback: Make synchronous function to support callback api
  • handle-callback: Initial step for creating hybrid APIs, used by hybridify. Handle callback in promise - give promise and callback return promise.
  • handle-arguments: Handles given Arguments object - return separatly last argument (commonly callback) and other arguments as Array. Useful in node-style callback flow.
  • manage-arguments: Prevents arguments leakage - managing arguments. From Optimization killers by Petka Antonov.
  • is-async-function: Check that given function is async (callback) function or not. Trying to guess that based on check if callback or cb exists in function arguments.
  • is-sync-function: Opposite of is-async-function. Check that given function is synchronous.
  • is-empty-function: Checks the given function (or fn.toString()) is with empty body - dont have body.
