definecallbacks

definecallbacks is a JavaScript library that provides a structured way to manage and execute callback functions, especially in asynchronous operations. It aims to simplify the common patterns associated with handling multiple asynchronous tasks and their completion. The core concept revolves around creating a "callback group" that can register individual callbacks. These callbacks are then executed in a controlled manner.

The library allows developers to define a set of callbacks that should run. When a specific event or condition is met, these registered callbacks are invoked. This can be particularly useful for scenarios where you need to wait for several asynchronous operations to finish before proceeding. For instance, when fetching data from multiple API endpoints, definecallbacks can help ensure all data is retrieved before a UI update.

Key features often include the ability to add callbacks dynamically, check the status of pending callbacks, and trigger the execution of the entire group. Some versions might also offer error handling mechanisms, allowing for specific actions to be taken if any of the registered callbacks encounter an error. The goal is to reduce the complexity and potential for errors that can arise from manual callback management in intricate asynchronous workflows. It helps in organizing code and making asynchronous logic more readable and maintainable.
