async-process v0.0.1

async-process

A minimalist Node.js module that let you perform multiples async tasks. Once they are completed, you can call a callback function.

##Example

To run the example, simply run the npm run example in the root directory.

Example :

var asyncProcess = require("async-process");
var fs = require("fs");
var loadedData = {};
var filesToLoad = ["./example/file1.json", "./example/file2.json", "./example/file3.json"];
var filesCb = function (val, cb) {
    fs.readFile(val, function (err, data) {
            if (!err)
                loadedData[val] = data;
            cb(err,val); //Pass null if not error.
        }
    );
};

new asyncProcess(filesToLoad, filesCb, function () {
    //At this point all the files are loaded
    console.log("All files have been processed");
    console.log("\nFile 3 should fail.");
    this.tasksFails.forEach(function(id){
        console.warn("Task : "+id+" failed.");
    })
});
