/** | |
* `C` constructor | |
* | |
* Proposed Simpler API for callback functions within a function | |
* | |
* // Old style | |
* someFunction(1, function success () { | |
* console.log('success callback') | |
* }, function fail () { | |
* console.log('fail callback') | |
* }); | |
* | |
* // Proposed Refactored Style | |
* someFunction(1) | |
* .success(function () { | |
* console.log('success callback') | |
* }) | |
* .fail(function () { | |
* console.log('fail callback') | |
* }) | |
* .exec(); | |
* | |
* Goal: | |
* 1. Simple API | |
* 2. Support for Old Style | |
* | |
* Usage: | |
* | |
* Define your functions | |
* var someFunction = function ( params, successCallback, failCallback ) { | |
* console.log('this is the function', params); | |
* // after some random logic | |
* // if ( some condition ) | |
* successCallback(); | |
* // some other async call | |
* failCallback(); | |
* }); | |
* | |
* someFunction = new Function(['success', 'fail'], someFunction); | |
* | |
* @param {Array} callbacks - array of callback names | |
* @param {Function} fn - Function which should support refactored style syntax | |
