This is a plugin for Seneca that adds a simple `.fire(pattern[, cb])` method to
your Seneca instance. This acts in a fire-and-forget manner, so this will
swallow any errors from the act you called. _The callback is optional._

- lead maintainer: [Glen Keane][lead]

## Example
```javascript
var seneca = require('seneca')()

seneca.use(require('fire-and-forget'))

// A basic pattern to use
seneca.add({ role: 'foo' }, (args, done) => {
// maybe save args.name in a database?
done(null, { msg: `hey ${args.name}!` })
})

// Expected use!, no reply is expected, so callback can be excluded
seneca.fire({ role: 'foo', name: 'glen' })

// Don't actually need to worry about any error here...
seneca.fire({ role: 'bar', name: 'glen' })

// Firing and using the reply data
seneca.fire({ role: 'foo', name: 'glen' }, (err, reply) => {
if (err) {
//maybe handle an error if it happens?
}
console.log(reply.msg)
})

// Firing, but no reply to be expected
seneca.fire({ role: 'bar', name: 'glen' }, (err, reply) => {
if (err) {
//maybe handle an error if it happens?
}
console.log(reply.msg)
})

```

## API
```javascript
seneca.fire(args[, callback])
```

### `args`

your standard `seneca` argument object/pattern, which you would expect to call any function with.

### `callback` **(optional)**

Function which can be called, taking two arguments:
- **Error**: This is any error which was generated when calling the pattern (eg. act_not_found).
- **Result**: This is the result returned by the `seneca` function for the pattern you pass in.
