# After [![Build Status][1]][2]
|
|
|
|
Invoke callback after n calls
|
|
|
|
## Status: production ready
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var after = require("after")
|
|
var db = require("./db") // some db.
|
|
|
|
var updateUser = function (req, res) {
|
|
// use after to run two tasks in parallel,
|
|
// namely get request body and get session
|
|
// then run updateUser with the results
|
|
var next = after(2, updateUser)
|
|
var results = {}
|
|
|
|
getJSONBody(req, res, function (err, body) {
|
|
if (err) return next(err)
|
|
|
|
results.body = body
|
|
next(null, results)
|
|
})
|
|
|
|
getSessionUser(req, res, function (err, user) {
|
|
if (err) return next(err)
|
|
|
|
results.user = user
|
|
next(null, results)
|
|
})
|
|
|
|
// now do the thing!
|
|
function updateUser(err, result) {
|
|
if (err) {
|
|
res.statusCode = 500
|
|
return res.end("Unexpected Error")
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
if (!result.user || result.user.role !== "admin") {
|
|
res.statusCode = 403
|
|
return res.end("Permission Denied")
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
db.put("users:" + req.params.userId, result.body, function (err) {
|
|
if (err) {
|
|
res.statusCode = 500
|
|
return res.end("Unexpected Error")
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
res.statusCode = 200
|
|
res.end("Ok")
|
|
})
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Naive Example
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var after = require("after")
|
|
, next = after(3, logItWorks)
|
|
|
|
next()
|
|
next()
|
|
next() // it works
|
|
|
|
function logItWorks() {
|
|
console.log("it works!")
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Example with error handling
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var after = require("after")
|
|
, next = after(3, logError)
|
|
|
|
next()
|
|
next(new Error("oops")) // logs oops
|
|
next() // does nothing
|
|
|
|
// This callback is only called once.
|
|
// If there is an error the callback gets called immediately
|
|
// this avoids the situation where errors get lost.
|
|
function logError(err) {
|
|
console.log(err)
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
