/** | |
* Converts a Node.js-style callback API to a function that returns an | |
* Observable. | |
* | |
* <span class="informal">It's just like {@link bindCallback}, but the | |
* callback is expected to be of type `callback(error, result)`.</span> | |
* | |
* `bindNodeCallback` is not an operator because its input and output are not | |
* Observables. The input is a function `func` with some parameters, but the | |
* last parameter must be a callback function that `func` calls when it is | |
* done. The callback function is expected to follow Node.js conventions, | |
* where the first argument to the callback is an error object, signaling | |
* whether call was successful. If that object is passed to callback, it means | |
* something went wrong. | |
* | |
* The output of `bindNodeCallback` is a function that takes the same | |
* parameters as `func`, except the last one (the callback). When the output | |
* function is called with arguments, it will return an Observable. | |
* If `func` calls its callback with error parameter present, Observable will | |
* error with that value as well. If error parameter is not passed, Observable will emit | |
* second parameter. If there are more parameters (third and so on), | |
* Observable will emit an array with all arguments, except first error argument. | |
* | |
* Note that `func` will not be called at the same time output function is, | |
* but rather whenever resulting Observable is subscribed. By default call to | |
* `func` will happen synchronously after subscription, but that can be changed | |
* with proper `scheduler` provided as optional third parameter. {@link SchedulerLike} | |
* can also control when values from callback will be emitted by Observable. | |
* To find out more, check out documentation for {@link bindCallback}, where | |
* {@link SchedulerLike} works exactly the same. | |
* | |
* As in {@link bindCallback}, context (`this` property) of input function will be set to context | |
* of returned function, when it is called. | |
* | |
* After Observable emits value, it will complete immediately. This means | |
* even if `func` calls callback again, values from second and consecutive | |
* calls will never appear on the stream. If you need to handle functions | |
* that call callbacks multiple times, check out {@link fromEvent} or | |
* {@link fromEventPattern} instead. | |
* | |
* Note that `bindNodeCallback` can be used in non-Node.js environments as well. | |
* "Node.js-style" callbacks are just a convention, so if you write for | |
* browsers or any other environment and API you use implements that callback style, | |
* `bindNodeCallback` can be safely used on that API functions as well. | |
* | |
* Remember that Error object passed to callback does not have to be an instance | |
* of JavaScript built-in `Error` object. In fact, it does not even have to an object. | |
* Error parameter of callback function is interpreted as "present", when value | |
* of that parameter is truthy. It could be, for example, non-zero number, non-empty | |
* string or boolean `true`. In all of these cases resulting Observable would error | |
* with that value. This means usually regular style callbacks will fail very often when | |
* `bindNodeCallback` is used. If your Observable errors much more often then you | |
* would expect, check if callback really is called in Node.js-style and, if not, | |
* switch to {@link bindCallback} instead. | |
* | |
* Note that even if error parameter is technically present in callback, but its value | |
* is falsy, it still won't appear in array emitted by Observable. | |
* | |
* ## Examples | |
* ### Read a file from the filesystem and get the data as an Observable | |
* ```ts | |
* import * as fs from 'fs'; | |
* const readFileAsObservable = bindNodeCallback(fs.readFile); | |
* const result = readFileAsObservable('./roadNames.txt', 'utf8'); | |
* result.subscribe(x => console.log(x), e => console.error(e)); | |
* ``` | |
* | |
* ### Use on function calling callback with multiple arguments | |
* ```ts | |
* someFunction((err, a, b) => { | |
* console.log(err); // null | |
* console.log(a); // 5 | |
* console.log(b); // "some string" | |
* }); | |
* const boundSomeFunction = bindNodeCallback(someFunction); | |
* boundSomeFunction() | |
* .subscribe(value => { | |
* console.log(value); // [5, "some string"] | |
* }); | |
* ``` | |
* | |
* ### Use on function calling callback in regular style | |
* ```ts | |
* someFunction(a => { | |
* console.log(a); // 5 | |
* }); | |
* const boundSomeFunction = bindNodeCallback(someFunction); | |
* boundSomeFunction() | |
* .subscribe( | |
* value => {} // never gets called | |
* err => console.log(err) // 5 | |
* ); | |
* ``` | |
