{{alias}}( predicate, fcn, done[, thisArg] )
|
||
|
|
Invokes a function while a test condition is true.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The predicate function is provided two arguments:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- `i`: iteration number (starting from zero)
|
||
|
|
- `clbk`: a callback indicating whether to invoke `fcn`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The `clbk` function accepts two arguments:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- `error`: error argument
|
||
|
|
- `bool`: test result
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If the test result is truthy, the function invokes `fcn`; otherwise, the
|
||
|
|
function invokes the `done` callback.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The function to invoke is provided two arguments:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- `i`: iteration number (starting from zero)
|
||
|
|
- `next`: a callback which must be invoked before proceeding to the next
|
||
|
|
iteration
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The first argument of the `next` callback is an `error` argument. If `fcn`
|
||
|
|
calls the `next` callback with a truthy `error` argument, the function
|
||
|
|
suspends execution and immediately calls the `done` callback for subsequent
|
||
|
|
`error` handling.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The `done` callback is invoked with an `error` argument and any arguments
|
||
|
|
passed to the final `next` callback.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Execution is *not* guaranteed to be asynchronous. To guarantee asynchrony,
|
||
|
|
wrap the `done` callback in a function which either executes at the end of
|
||
|
|
the current stack (e.g., `nextTick`) or during a subsequent turn of the
|
||
|
|
event loop (e.g., `setImmediate`, `setTimeout`).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Parameters

||
|
|
----------
|
||
|
|
predicate: Function
|
||

The function to invoke.
|
||
|
|
|

Callback to invoke upon completion.
|
||
