callback in javascript code example

Example 1: javascript getposts callback

// *** JS GetPosts Callback ***

    run.addEventListener('click', () => {
        window.lib.getPosts((error, articles) => {
          	return (error ? console.log(error) : console.log(articles));
            /* Alternate syntax
          	 if (error) {
                 console.log(error);
             }
             for (elem of articles) {
                 console.log(elem);
            }; // => console.log(articles); similarly works
            /*
        });
    })

Example 2: 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 3: callback function js

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

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

processUserInput(greeting);

Example 4: what are callback functions

// A function which accepts another function as an argument
// (and will automatically invoke that function when it completes - note that there is no explicit call to callbackFunction)
funct printANumber(int number, funct callbackFunction) {
    printout("The number you provided is: " + number);
}

// a function which we will use in a driver function as a callback function
funct printFinishMessage() {
    printout("I have finished printing numbers.");
}

// Driver method
funct event() {
   printANumber(6, printFinishMessage);
}

Example 5: 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 6: create callback function javascript

function add(a, b, callback) {
  if (callback && typeof(callback) === "function") {
    callback(a + b);
  }
}

add(5, 3, function(answer) {
  console.log(answer);
});
