node.js callback tools

Tools for simplifying node.js callback style programming.

errh(func, cb)

Returns function(err, result) that calls cb(err) if err != null and else calls func(result, cb).

Simplifies this case:

function (cb) {
	someAsyncCall(function (err, result) {
		if (err != null) {
			cb(err);
		}
		else {
			cb(null, doSomethingWithResult(result));
		} // too many lines of code
	});
};

to this one:

var errh = require('ncbt').errh;

function (cb) {
	someAsyncCall(errh(function (result, cb) {
		cb(null, doSomethingWithResult(result)); // much nicer
	}, cb);
};

errh.noResult(cb)

Returns function(err) that calls cb(err) shrinking any other arguments.

Useful for getting rid of insert or update results when querying db.

errh.nullResult(cb)

Like errh.noResult(cb), but calls cb(err, null).
