Usage

JavaScript

var extractOptsAndCallback = require('extract-opts')
var log = console.log.bind(console)

// fs.readFile(filename, [options], callback)
var readFile = function(filename, opts, next){
	// Extract options and callback
	var args = extractOptsAndCallback(opts, next)
	opts = args[0]
	next = args[1]

	// Forward for simplicities sake
	require('fs').readFile(filename, opts, next)
}

// Test it
readFile('package.json', log)          // works with no options
readFile('package.json', null, log)    // works with null options
readFile('package.json', {next:log})   // works with just options

CoffeeScript

extractOptsAndCallback = require('extract-opts')
log = console.log.bind(console)

# fs.readFile(filename, [options], callback)
readFile = (filename, opts, next) ->
	# Extract options and callback
	[opts, next] = extractOptsAndCallback(opts, next)

	# Forward for simplicities sake
	require('fs').readFile(filename, opts, next)

# Test it
readFile('package.json', log)          # works with no options
readFile('package.json', null, log)    # works with null options
readFile('package.json', {next:log})   # works with just options

Configuration

Extract Options and Callback also supports a third argument for custom configuration.

You can use this third argument to customize the completionCallbackNames property that defaults to ['next']. This is useful if your completion callback has other names besides next. Allowing you to do the following:

extractOptsAndCallback = (opts, next, config={}) ->
	config.completionCallbackNames ?= ['next', 'complete', 'done']
	return require('extract-opts')(opts, next, config)
log = console.log.bind(console)

# The readFile method as before

# Test it
readFile('package.json', {next:log})        # works the standard completion callback name
readFile('package.json', {complete:log})    # works with our custom compeltion callback name
readFile('package.json', {done:log})        # works with our custom compeltion callback name
