54. flatten Thunk
Here's one possible solution to the "flattenThunk" problem:
function flattenThunk(thunk) {
return function(callback) {
thunk(function(error, result) {
if (error) {
callback(error);
} else if (typeof result === 'function') {
flattenThunk(result)(callback);
} else {
callback(null, result);
}
});
};
}
This flattenThunk
function returns a new thunk that takes a callback function as its argument. It then calls the original thunk, passing in a new callback function. This new callback function checks if an error occurred or if the result is a function (i.e. a thunk), in which case it recursively calls flattenThunk
on the result and passes in the original callback. If there is no error and the result is not a function, it passes the result to the original callback.
With the above code, you can now call flattenThunk(func3)
and pass in a callback function that will receive the final result (in this case, 'ok'
) or any error that occurred along the way.
