# $N
$N is my attempt at making something similar to Step, but with less indentation
and slightly different syntax. $N is very light-weight and small, only a few
lines, so it is copy & pastable if need be.
## Usage
``` js
var $N = require('N')
, fs = require('fs');
$N(function(next) {
fs.readFile('./log.txt', 'utf-8', next);
})
.N(function(next, err, txt) {
if (err) {
console.log(err.message);
} else {
console.log('Some text: ' + txt);
}
next.N(
// you can even push
// more functions onto the stack!
function(next) {
console.log('world');
next();
},
// you can pass multiple args if
// you want to use it like Step
function() {
console.log('how are you?');
}
)('hello');
})
.N(function(next, hello) {
console.log(hello);
next();
})();
```
### Outputs:
Some text: [whatever text]
hello
world
how are you?
## More Features
There's also an "N-features.js" file, which is something I'm experimenting with.
It includes parallel calls and consistent arguments with error handling, e.g.
(err, data). I'm unsure whether I want to include these features, I like
keeping things simple.
``` js
$N(function() {
fs.readFile('./log1.txt', 'utf-8', this);
})
.N(function(err, text) {
if (err) {
console.log(err);
} else {
console.log('Some text: ' + text);
}
this.N(
// you can even push
// more functions onto the stack!
function(err, results) {
console.log('world');
this(results);
},
// you can pass multiple args if
// you want to use it like Step
function(err, results) {
console.log('how are you?');
console.log('...even more text:', results);
}
)('hello');
})
.N(function(err, hello) {
if (err) console.log('oh no, an error:', err)
console.log(hello);
fs.readFile('./log2.txt', 'utf-8', this.para);
fs.readFile('./log3.txt', 'utf-8', this.para);
})();
```
