async-functions

A simple, clean way of calling functions asynchronously

Install

$ npm install async-functions

Usage

require('async-functions');
 
var foo = function(a, b) {
    console.log(a + b);
}
 
foo.async(1, 2);  // Logs "3", but async!
 
var bar = function(a, b) {
    console.log(this.baz);
    console.log(a + b);
};
 
var scope = { baz: 'Hello!' };
 
bar.bind(scope).async(1, 2);  // Logs "Hello!" and then "3"
 
// Also works in the .apply style
foo.asyncApply([1, 2])

How does it work?

How do you think..? I modified the Function prototype. Yes, I know, I'm going to hell..
