actiondone

Actiondone is a term used in computing and productivity to indicate that a particular action has completed. It is not tied to a single standard or protocol, and its meaning varies by context. In software development, actionDone (often written in camelCase) or action_done (snake_case) commonly designates a callback function or an event name that fires when an action finishes. For example, a UI framework might invoke an actionDone handler after a user-triggered operation completes, such as submitting a form or loading data. In asynchronous programming, a promise or async workflow may resolve and then call a handler named actionDone.

In user interfaces and task automation, the label action done may be used to mark steps as completed, update progress indicators, or trigger subsequent actions in a workflow. It can serve as a semantic hook for scripting languages or automation tools to connect completed actions with follow-up tasks, checks, or notifications.

Variations and considerations include capitalization and naming conventions, especially when integrating across languages or libraries. Because actiondone is not a standardized term, teams should agree on a consistent style (for example, actionDone versus action_done) and ensure clear documentation to avoid confusion with related concepts such as actionFailed or actionCompleted. In API design, explicit documentation of what constitutes completion and what happens on completion helps prevent misinterpretation of the signal.
