splitcb v0.1.1

splitcb

(err, results…) -> (err ? onError(err, results…) : onSuccess(results…))

That's the basic idea. Details below.

API

splitCb(onSuccess, onError)

Each argument should be either a handler function or a false-y value. This implies they're both optional, as missing arguments default to undefined which is false-y.

Returns a nodeback function that calls the appropriate handler if one is set. If an error is received and you didn't provide onError, the error is thrown.

The API doesn't guarantee any details about the return value of the nodeback function, so avoid any assumptions about it.

Usage

var splitCb = require('splitcb'), nodeback;

nodeback = splitCb();
readLatestPost(nodeback); // ignore result if success, throw error otherwise

function displayPost(topic, text) { console.log(topic + ':', text); }
nodeback = splitCb(displayPost);
readLatestPost(nodeback); // displayPost or throw error

function reportFailure(err) { console.log('Error:', err); }
nodeback = splitCb(displayPost, reportFailure);
readLatestPost(nodeback); // displayPost or reportFailure

nodeback = splitCb(null, reportFailure);
readLatestPost(nodeback); // reportFailure but ignore success result
