Simple, isolated async waterfall module for JavaScript.
Runs an array of functions in series, each passing their results to the next in
the array. However, if any of the functions pass an error to the callback, the
next function is not executed and the main callback is immediately called with
the error.
For browsers and node.js.
Installation
Just include async-waterfall before your scripts.
npm install async-waterfall if you’re using node.js.
component install es128/async-waterfall if you’re using
component(1).
bower install async-waterfall if you’re using
Twitter Bower.
Usage
waterfall(tasks, optionalCallback);
tasks - An array of functions to run, each function is passed a
callback(err, result1, result2, ...) it must call on completion. The first
argument is an error (which can be null) and any further arguments will be
passed as arguments in order to the next task.
optionalCallback - An optional callback to run once all the functions have
completed. This will be passed the results of the last task's callback.
waterfall([function(callback){callback(null,'one','two');},function(arg1,arg2,callback){callback(null,'three');},function(arg1,callback){// arg1 now equals 'three'callback(null,'done');}],function(err,result){// result now equals 'done'});
Derive Tasks from an Array.map
/* basic - no arguments */waterfall(myArray.map(function(arrayItem){returnfunction(nextCallback){// same execution for each item, call the next one when donedoAsyncThingsWith(arrayItem,nextCallback);}}));/* with arguments, initializer function, and final callback */waterfall([functioninitializer(firstMapFunction){firstMapFunction(null,initialValue);}].concat(myArray.map(function(arrayItem){returnfunction(lastItemResult,nextCallback){// same execution for each item in the arrayvaritemResult=doThingsWith(arrayItem,lastItemResult);// results carried along from each to the nextnextCallback(null,itemResult);}})),function(err,finalResult){// final callback});
