Advanced tools
Easily create callbacks that are not resolved until other callbacks have completed.
Sometimes you need to perform multiple operations before resolving an initial callback. This tool is a small and simple way to track all the callbacks.
example:
var tracker = require('callback_tracker');
function getOneThing(thingWanted, done) {
//...
// done(result);
}
function getAlotOfThings(thingsWanted, done) {
var results = [];
var track = tracker.create('done', function() {
done(results);
};
thingsWanted.foreach(function(thingWanted) {
getOneThing(thingWanted, track('getting ' + thingWanted, function(result) {
results.push(result);
}));
});
}
