holdspartans

A function list that will hold their position until a status bit is changed

An example of waiting until we have a connection before sending requests:

var Spartans = require('holdspartans');
var connection = new Connection(...);

var spartans = new Spartans();

function run_request(req, res){

    // wrap the function so it is only run once the connection is active
    spartans.add(function(){
        connection.send(req, res);
    })
}

connection.on('connect', function(){

    // this lets new functions through and runs the function in the buffer
    spartans.hold(false);
})

connection.on('connect', function(){

    // this starts buffering functions again
    spartans.hold(true);
})
