cb ?

Closed this issue · 1 comments

Hi,

What does 'cb' stand for in your code:
e.g. in:

config.userIdentity(function(id){

  // determine if this user is authenticated or not
  id.isAuthenticated(function(user, cb){
    // note that the "user" in this case, is the user
    // that was supplied by the routeHelpers.getUser function
    var isAuthenticated = false;
    if (user) {
      isAuthenticated = user.isLoggedIn();
    }
    cb(null, isAuthenticated);
  });

});

Thanks!

Hey @bradws - cb is short for callback - the function that is called when the current function is complete, allowing the app to continue. this probably isn't the best naming convention, but i haven't yet found a better one for general purposes.
