## Usage

```javascript
var someByRightAsync = require( '@stdlib/utils/async/some-by-right' );
```

#### someByRightAsync( collection, n, \[options,] predicate, done )

Tests whether a `collection` contains at least `n` elements which pass a test implemented by a `predicate` function, iterating from right to left.

```javascript
function predicate( value, next ) {
    setTimeout( onTimeout, value );
    function onTimeout() {
        console.log( value );
        next( null, false );
    }
}

function done( error, bool ) {
    if ( error ) {
        throw error;
    }
    console.log( bool );
}

var arr = [ 1000, 2500, 3000 ];

someByRightAsync( arr, 2, predicate, done );
/* =>
    1000
    2500
    3000
    false
*/
```

The function immediately stops processing `collection` elements and returns `true` for the test result upon receiving `n` truthy predicate result values.

```javascript
function predicate( value, index, next ) {
    setTimeout( onTimeout, value );
    function onTimeout() {
        if ( index === 1 ) {
            return next( new Error( 'beep' ) );
        }
        next( null, true );
    }
}

function done( error, bool ) {
    if ( error ) {
        throw error;
    }
    console.log( bool );
}

var arr = [ 1000, 2500, 3000 ];

someByRightAsync( arr, 1, predicate, done );
// => true
```

The function accepts the following `options`:

-   `limit`: the maximum number of pending invocations at any one time. Default: `infinity`.
-   `series`: `boolean` indicating whether to sequentially invoke the `predicate` function for each `collection` element. If `true`, the function sets `options.limit=1`. Default: `false`.
-   `thisArg`: the execution context for `fcn`.

By default, all elements are processed concurrently, which means that the function does **not** guarantee completion order. To process each `collection` element sequentially, set the `series` option to `true`.

```javascript
function predicate( value, next ) {
    setTimeout( onTimeout, value );
    function onTimeout() {
        console.log( value );
        next( null, false );
    }
}

function done( error, bool ) {
    if ( error ) {
        throw error;
    }
    console.log( bool );
}

var arr = [ 1000, 2500, 3000 ];

var opts = {
    'series': true
};

someByRightAsync( arr, 2, opts, predicate, done );
/* =>
    3000
    2500
    1000
    false
*/
```

To limit the maximum number of pending function invocations, set the `limit` option.

```javascript
function predicate( value, next ) {
    setTimeout( onTimeout, value );
    function onTimeout() {
        console.log( value );
        next( null, false );
    }
}

function done( error, bool ) {
    if ( error ) {
        throw error;
    }
    console.log( bool );
}

var arr = [ 1000, 2500, 3000 ];

var opts = {
    'limit': 2
};

someByRightAsync( arr, 2, opts, predicate, done );
/* =>
    2500
    3000
    1000
    false
*/
```

To set the execution context of the `predicate` function, set the `thisArg` option.

```javascript
function predicate( value, next ) {
    this.count += 1;
    setTimeout( onTimeout, value );
    function onTimeout() {
        next( null, false );
    }
}

var arr = [ 1000, 2500, 3000 ];

var context = {
    'count': 0
};

var opts = {
    'thisArg': context
};

someByRightAsync( arr, 2, opts, predicate, done );

function done( error, bool ) {
    if ( error ) {
        throw error;
    }
    console.log( bool );
    // => false

    console.log( context.count );
    // => 3
}
```

When invoked, the `predicate` function is provided a maximum of four arguments:

-   `value`: collection value.
-   `index`: collection index.
-   `collection`: the input `collection`.
-   `next`: a callback which should be called once the `predicate` function has finished processing a collection `value`.

The actual number of provided arguments depends on function `length`. If the `predicate` function accepts two arguments, the `predicate` function is provided `value` and `next`. If the `predicate` function accepts three arguments, the `predicate` function is provided `value`, `index`, and `next`. For every other `predicate` function signature, the `predicate` function is provided all four arguments.

```javascript
function predicate( value, i, collection, next ) {
    console.log( 'collection: %s. %d: %d', collection.join( ',' ), i, value );
    setTimeout( onTimeout, value );
    function onTimeout() {
        console.log( value );
        next( null, false );
    }
}

function done( error, bool ) {
    if ( error ) {
        throw error;
    }
    console.log( bool );
}

var arr = [ 1000, 2500, 3000 ];

someByRightAsync( arr, 2, predicate, done );
/* =>
    collection: 3000,2500,1000. 2: 3000
    collection: 3000,2500,1000. 1: 2500
    collection: 3000,2500,1000. 0: 1000
    1000
    2500
    3000
    false
*/
```

#### someByRightAsync.factory( \[options,] predicate )

Returns a `function` which invokes a `predicate` function once for each element in a `collection`, iterating from right to left.

```javascript
function predicate( value, next ) {
    setTimeout( onTimeout, value );
    function onTimeout() {
        console.log( value );
        next( null, false );
    }
}

function done( error, bool ) {
    if ( error ) {
        throw error;
    }
    console.log( bool );
}

var f = someByRightAsync.factory( predicate );

var arr1 = [ 1000, 2500, 3000 ];

f( arr1, 2, done );
/* =>
    1000
    2500
    3000
    false
*/

var arr2 = [ 100, 250, 300 ];

f( arr2, 2, done );
/* =>
    100
    250
    300
    false
*/
```

The function accepts the same `options` as `someByRightAsync()`.

## Notes

-   A `collection` may be either an [`Array`][mdn-array], [`Typed Array`][mdn-typed-array], or an array-like [`Object`][mdn-object] (excluding `strings` and `functions`).
-   If a provided function calls the `next` callback with a truthy `error` argument, the function suspends execution and immediately calls the `done` callback for subsequent `error` handling.
-   The function does **not** support dynamic `collection` resizing.
-   The function does **not** skip `undefined` elements.
-   If provided an empty `collection`, the function calls the `done` callback with `false` as the test result.
-   **Neither** `someByRightAsync` nor the function returned by the `factory` method **guarantee** asynchronous execution. 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`).
