const { hook } = require('hook-function');
const { after, afterSequentially } = hook;
// beforeSequentially is similar
let sequentialHookFn = afterSequentially(

// main
// wait 300ms
// instant
// wait 100ms
let normalHookFn = after(main, makeDelayFn(300), instant, makeDelayFn(100));
normalHookFn();
// main
// instant
// wait 100ms
// wait 300ms
hook.after
using data returned by main functionData return by main function are not chained in after-functions. Same data will be applied to each after-functions.
If after-functions are regular functions instead of arrow functions, the hook calls the regular functions directly.
const { hook } = require('hook-function');
const { after } = hook;
function printInput(input) {
console.log(input || 'nothing')
}
function returnTen() {
return 10;
}
function printDouble(num) {
console.log(num * 2);
}
}
function printTriple(num) {
console.log(num * 3);
}
let fn = after(
returnTen,
(result) => printDouble(result),
(result) => printTriple(result),
printInput,
(result) => printInput(result)
);
fn();
// 20
// 30
// nothing
// 10
