Node.js Fixes AsyncLocalStorage Crash Bug That Could Take Down Production Servers
Node.js patched a crash bug where AsyncLocalStorage could cause stack overflows to bypass error handlers and terminate production servers.
Creates a function that delegates to a chain of registered dispatch functions. The registered functions are applied with the same arguments and context as the called function in the order they are registered. The first result from a registered function that is not undefined will be returned.
var dispatch = require('redispatch');
var empty = dispatch()
empty.register(function(){
return null;
});
empty(null);
// null
empty([1,2,3]);
// null
empty.register(function(arr){
if(Array.isArray(arr)){
return [];
}
});
empty(null);
// null
empty([1,2,3]);
// []
Note register can be called at any time. This can be used to extend default behavior of library functions. See underscore-transducer for examples.
