javascript - Nodejs: Passing function specific variables to Async.parallel() - Stack Overflow

I am have a bunch of long running database queries I need to get done before I render a page in node. Each of these queries require a few of their own variables. Is there an easy way to pass variables to the async.parallel() utility in nodejs?

async.parallel([
    queryX(callback, A1, A2, A3),
    queryX(callback, B1, B2, B3),
    queryY(callback, C1, C2, C3),
    queryY(callback, D1, D2, D3),
    queryZ(callback, E1, E2, E3),
    queryZ(callback, F1, F2, F3),
  ], 
  function(err, results) { /*Do Render Stuff with Results*/}
);

• No, async does not have helpers for this. You could try .bind() or similar partial application methods, but your callback being in the first place is odd and might hinder using them. – Bergi Commented Feb 23, 2014 at 18:45

You should respect the callback as last argument nodejs convention when you write functions. That way you could have use Function.bind to call your functions instead.

var queryx = function(A,B,C,callback){ .... ; callback(err,result) };

async.parallel([queryx.bind(null,A1,B2,A3),...,],callback);

bind returns a partial application :

Not in async itself, you could however write a little helper function for this:

function passWithCallbackFirst(fn) {
    var args = [].slice.call(arguments, 1);
    return function(cb) {
        args.unshift(cb);
        return fn.apply(this, args);
    };
}

async.parallel([
    passWithCallbackFirst(queryX, A1, A2, A3),
    passWithCallbackFirst(queryX, B1, B2, B3),
    passWithCallbackFirst(queryY, C1, C2, C3),
    passWithCallbackFirst(queryY, D1, D2, D3),
    passWithCallbackFirst(queryZ, E1, E2, E3),
    passWithCallbackFirst(queryZ, F1, F2, F3),
], function(err, results) {
    /*Do Render Stuff with Results*/
});
