I'd recommend as Tim suggested, or with little modification to your code, something like this.
var results if (cond) { async1(function (err, res) { results = res next() }) } else { async2(function (err, res) { results = res next() // <= or pass in the results? }) } function next () { // here need to do something with results. } Thomas Blobaum https://github.com/tblobaum On Tue, Aug 7, 2012 at 11:35 AM, Dan Milon <danmi...@gmail.com> wrote: > I am wondering which are the different patterns to handle cases like > > > var results > if (cond) { > async1(function (err, res) { > results = res > }) > } > else { > async2(function (err, res) { > results = res > }) > } > // here need to do something with results. > > The problem is obvious, but i cannot see any good way to overcome it. > > -- > Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ > Posting guidelines: > https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google > Groups "nodejs" group. > To post to this group, send email to nodejs@googlegroups.com > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > nodejs+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/nodejs?hl=en?hl=en -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
