54. flatten Thunk
Share
easy - accepted / - tried
Suppose we have a Callback type
type Callback = (error: Error, result: any | Thunk) => void
A Thunk is a function that take a Callback as parameter
type Thunk = (callback: Callback) => void
Like following three thunks
const func1 = (cb) => { setTimeout(() => cb(null, 'ok'), 10)}const func2 = (cb) => { setTimeout(() => cb(null, func1), 10)}const func3 = (cb) => { setTimeout(() => cb(null, func2), 10)}
in above example, three functions are kind of chained up, func3 → func2 → func1, but it don't work without some glue.
OK, now you are asked to implement a flattenThunk()
which glue them up and returns a new thunk.
flattenThunk(func3)((error, data) => { console.log(data) // 'ok'})
note
Once error occurs, the rest uncalled functions should be skipped
