The input is a function `func` with some parameters. The * last parameter must be a callback function that `func` calls when it is * done. * * The output of `bindCallback` 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 function `func` * calls its callback with one argument, the Observable will emit that value. * If on the other hand the callback is called with multiple values the resulting * Observable will emit an array with said values as arguments. * * It is **very important** to remember that input function `func` is not called * when the output function is, but rather when the Observable returned by the output * function is subscribed. This means if `func` makes an AJAX request, that request * will be made every time someone subscribes to the resulting Observable, but not before. * * The last optional parameter - `scheduler` - can be used to control when the call * to `func` happens after someone subscribes to Observable, as well as when results * passed to callback will be emitted. By default, the subscription to an Observable calls `func` * synchronously, but using {@link asyncScheduler} as the last parameter will defer the call to `func`, * just like wrapping the call in `setTimeout` with a timeout of `0` would. If you were to use the async Scheduler * and call `subscribe` on the output Observable, all function calls that are currently executing * will end before `func` is invoked. * * By default, results passed to the callback are emitted immediately after `func` invokes the callback. * In particular, if the callback is called synchronously, then the subscription of the resulting Observable * will call the `next` function synchronously as well. If you want to defer that call, * you may use {@link asyncScheduler} just as before. This means that by using `Scheduler.async` you can * ensure that `func` always calls its callback asynchronously, thus avoiding terrifying Zalgo. * * Note that the Observable created by the output function will always emit a single value * and then complete immediately. If `func` calls the callback multiple times, values from subsequent * calls will not appear in the stream. If you need to listen for multiple calls, * you probably want to use {@link fromEvent} or {@link fromEventPattern} instead. * * If `func` depends on some context (`this` property) and is not already bound, the context of `func` * will be the context that the output function has at call time. In particular, if `func` * is called as a method of some object and if `func` is not already bound, in order to preserve the context * it is recommended that the context of the output function is set to that object as well. * * If the input function calls its callback in the "node style" (i.e. first argument to callback is * optional error parameter signaling whether the call failed or not), {@link bindNodeCallback} * provides convenient error handling and probably is a better choice. * `bindCallback` will treat such functions the same as any other and error parameters * (whether passed or not) will always be interpreted as regular callback argument. * * ## Examples * * ### Convert jQuery's getJSON to an Observable API * ```ts * import { bindCallback } from 'rxjs'; * import * as jQuery from 'jquery'; * * // Suppose we have jQuery.getJSON('/my/url', callback) * const getJSONAsObservable = bindCallback(jQuery.getJSON); * const result = getJSONAsObservable('/my/url'); * result.subscribe(x => console.log(x), e => console.error(e)); * ``` * * ### Receive an array of arguments passed to a callback * ```ts * import { bindCallback } from 'rxjs'; * * const someFunction = (n, s, cb) => { * cb(n, s, { someProperty: 'someValue' }); * }; * * const boundSomeFunction = bindCallback(someFunction); * boundSomeFunction(5, 'some string').subscribe((values) => { * console.log(values); // [5, 'some string', {someProperty: 'someValue'}] * }); * ``` * * ### Compare behaviour with and without async Scheduler * ```ts * import { bindCallback, asyncScheduler } from 'rxjs'; * * function iCallMyCallbackSynchronously(cb) { * cb(); * } * * const boundSyncFn = bindCallback(iCallMyCallbackSynchronously); * const boundAsyncFn = bindCallback(iCallMyCallbackSynchronously, null, asyncScheduler); * * boundSyncFn().subscribe(() => console.log('I was sync!')); * boundAsyncFn().subscribe(() => console.log('I was async!')); * console.log('This happened...'); * * // Logs: * // I was sync! * // This happened... * // I was async! * ``` * * ### Use bindCallback on an object method * ```ts * import { bindCallback } from 'rxjs'; * * const boundMethod = bindCallback(someObject.methodWithCallback); * boundMethod * .call(someObject) // make sure methodWithCallback has access to someObject * .subscribe(subscriber); * ``` * * @see {@link bindNodeCallback} * @see {@link from} * * @param {function} func A function with a callback as the last parameter. * @param {SchedulerLike} [scheduler] The scheduler on which to schedule the * callbacks. * @return {function(...params: *): Observable} A function which returns the * Observable that delivers the same values the callback would deliver. */ export function bindCallback( callbackFunc: (...args: [...any[], (...res: any) => void]) => void, resultSelector?: ((...args: any[]) => any) | SchedulerLike, scheduler?: SchedulerLike ): (...args: any[]) => Observable { return bindCallbackInternals(false, callbackFunc, resultSelector, scheduler); }
