callback() in javascript code example

Example 1: javascript callback

/*
A callback function is a function passed into another function
as an argument, which is then invoked inside the outer function
to complete some kind of routine or action. 
*/
function greeting(name) {
  alert('Hello ' + name);
}

function processUserInput(callback) {
  var name = prompt('Please enter your name.');
  callback(name);
}

processUserInput(greeting);
// The above example is a synchronous callback, as it is executed immediately.

Example 2: callback function js

function greeting(name) {
  alert('Hello ' + name);
}

function processUserInput(callback) {
  var name = prompt('Please enter your name.');
  callback(name);
}

processUserInput(greeting);

Example 3: javascript callback

// Create a callback in the probs, in this case we call it 'callback'
function newCallback(callback) {
  callback('This can be any value you want to return')
}

// Do something with callback (in this case, we console log it)
function actionAferCallback (callbackData) {
  console.log(callbackData)
}

// Function that asks for a callback from the newCallback function, then parses the value to actionAferCallback
function requestCallback() {
  newCallback(actionAferCallback)
}

Example 4: callback function

function createQuote(quote, callback){ 
  var myQuote = "Like I always say, " + quote;
  callback(myQuote); // 2
}

function logQuote(quote){
  console.log(quote);
}

createQuote("eat your vegetables!", logQuote); // 1

// Result in console: 
// Like I always say, eat your vegetables!

Example 5: javascript callback function

const message = function() {  
    console.log("This message is shown after 3 seconds");
}
 
setTimeout(message, 3000);
