try-catch-callback

try/catch block with a callback, used in try-catch-core. Use it when you don't care about asyncness so much and don't want guarantees. If you care use try-catch-core.

Install

npm i try-catch-callback --save

Usage

For more use-cases see the tests

const tryCatchCallback = require('try-catch-callback')

tryCatchCallback

Pass a synchronous fn that returns some result and handle completion or errors in cb if given, otherwise it returns thunk which accepts that cb. It's possible to not work in "async mode", if that's the case try to use try-catch-core for your case, which guarantees that cb is called only once and always in next tick, using dezalgo and once.

Params

• <fn> {Function}: function to be called.
• [opts] {Object}: optional options, such as context and args
• [opts.context] {Object}: context to be passed to fn
• [opts.args] {Array}: custom argument(s) to be pass to fn, given value is arrayified
• [opts.passCallback] {Boolean}: pass true if you want cb to be passed to fn args
• [opts.return] {Boolean}: if true returns error/value and does not calls cb
• [cb] {Function}: callback with cb(err, res) signature.
• returns {Function} thunk: if cb not given.

Example

var tryCatch = require('try-catch-callback')

tryCatch(function () {
  return 'fox qux'
}, function done (err, res) {
  if (err) return console.error(err)
  console.log(res) // => 'fox qux'
})

passing custom context

const tryCatch = require('try-catch-callback')

tryCatch(function () {
  console.log(this.foo) // => 'bar'
  console.log(this.baz) // => 'qux'
  return `${this.foo}/${this.baz}`
}, {
  context: { foo: 'bar', baz: 'qux' }
}, function done (err, res) {
  if (err) return console.error(err)
  console.log(res) // => 'bar/qux'
})

passing custom arguments

const tryCatchCallback = require('try-catch-callback')
const done = (err, res) => console.log(res) // => 'zzz123'
const opts = {
  args: [ { foo: 'zzz' }, 123 ]
}

tryCatchCallback((ctx, qux) => {
  return ctx.foo + qux
}, opts, done)

returning a thunk

const tryCatch = require('try-catch-callback')
const thunk = tryCatch((a, b) => {
  return a + b + 3
}, { args: [1, 2] })

thunk((err, res) => {
  console.log(res) // => 6
})

Contributing

Pull requests and stars are always welcome. For bugs and feature requests, please create an issue.
Please read the contributing guidelines for advice on opening issues, pull requests, and coding standards.
If you need some help and can spent some cash, feel free to contact me at CodeMentor.io too.

In short: If you want to contribute to that project, please follow these things

1. Please DO NOT edit README.md, CHANGELOG.md and .verb.md files. See "Building docs" section.
2. Ensure anything is okey by installing the dependencies and run the tests. See "Running tests" section.
3. Always use npm run commit to commit changes instead of git commit, because it is interactive and user-friendly. It uses commitizen behind the scenes, which follows Conventional Changelog idealogy.
4. Do NOT bump the version in package.json. For that we use npm run release, which is standard-version and follows Conventional Changelog idealogy.

Thanks a lot! :)

Building docs

Documentation and that readme is generated using verb-generate-readme, which is a verb generator, so you need to install both of them and then run verb command like that

$ npm install verbose/verb#dev verb-generate-readme --global && verb

Please don't edit the README directly. Any changes to the readme must be made in .verb.md.

Running tests

Clone repository and run the following in that cloned directory

$ npm install && npm test
