About

Simple AOP realization for async applications.

Installation

npm install aop

Example

var aop = require("aop");

var cache = {};

var someAsyncFunction = function(num, callback) {
    console.log("calculating");
    var result = num * 2;
    callback(null, result);
    cache[num] = result;
};

var cacheAspect = function(method, params) {
    var num = params[0];
    if (cache[num]) {
        var callback = params[params.length - 1];
        console.log("using cached value");
        callback(null, cache[num]);
    } else {
        method.apply(this, params);
    }
};

var changeAspect = function(method, params) {
    params[0]++;
    method.apply(this, params);
};

var formatAspect = function(method, params) {
    var callback = params[params.length - 1];
    var newCallback = function(error, result) {
        callback(error, result + "s");
    };
    params[params.length - 1] = newCallback;
    method.apply(this, params);
};

someAsyncFunction = aop.wrap(someAsyncFunction, someAsyncFunction, cacheAspect);
someAsyncFunction = aop.wrap(someAsyncFunction, someAsyncFunction, formatAspect);
someAsyncFunction = aop.wrap(someAsyncFunction, someAsyncFunction, changeAspect);

someAsyncFunction(2, function(error, result) {
    console.log(result);
});

someAsyncFunction(2, function(error, result) {
    console.log(result);
});
