## Usage

```javascript
var ifelseAsync = require( '@stdlib/utils/async/if-else' );
```

#### ifelseAsync( predicate, x, y, done )

If a `predicate` function returns a truthy value, returns `x`; otherwise, returns `y`.

```javascript
var randu = require( '@stdlib/random/base/randu' );

function predicate( clbk ) {
    setTimeout( onTimeout, 0 );
    function onTimeout() {
        clbk( null, randu() > 0.5 );
    }
}

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

ifelseAsync( predicate, 1.0, -1.0, done );
```

The `predicate` function is provided a single argument:

-   `clbk`: callback to invoke upon `predicate` function completion

The callback accepts two arguments:

-   `error`: error object
-   `bool`: condition used to determine whether to return `x` or `y`

The `done` callback is invoked upon function completion and is provided at most two arguments:

-   `error`: error object
-   `result`: either `x` or `y`

## Notes

-   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`).

}
