What if I could pass informations to doneAdding() and add()?

I mean this:

asynchronous(function(){
var doc = {foo : bar};
flow.doneAdding(doc);
});

console.log(flow.forceWait()); // Output {foo : bar}

Thanks for your last modifications and good holly days for you!

Thanks for the suggestion.

I'm not sure I can implement it exactly as you suggested, as forceWait returns the args passed to the callback from the async function.

var asyncTask = function(callback) {
    callback(null, 'data goes here');
};

asyncblock(function(flow){
    process.nextTick(function(){
        asyncTask(flow.add());

        flow.doneAdding();
    });
    console.log(flow.forceWait()); //Prints "data goes here"
});

If I wanted to store some information for later on, I could do it just by declaring a variable:

asyncblock(function(flow){
    var state;    

    process.nextTick(function(){
        asyncTask(flow.add());
        state = 'something';

        flow.doneAdding();
    });

    console.log(flow.forceWait()); //Prints "data goes here"
    console.log(state); //Prints "something"
});

I'm wondering if something like that addresses your request, or if you need something I'm not seeing.

I could add something like flow.setState(key, data) and flow.getState(key, data), but it seems like you can do it yourself by declaring your own variable.

Thanks,

Chris
