JavaScript: Waterfall

The async library has a waterfall() function to build chains of asynchronous functions without having to put them into each other. Check the docs to see how it works, and try to solve this exercise using this function.

file.js

Implement and export an asynchronous function unionFiles() that we examined in previous lessons. Here is a common callback implementation:

Examples

import fs from 'fs';

const unionFiles = (inputPath1, inputPath2, outputPath, cb) => {
  fs.readFile(inputPath1, 'utf-8', (error1, data1) => {
    if (error1) {
      cb(error1);
      return;
    }
    fs.readFile(inputPath2, 'utf-8', (error2, data2) => {
      if (error2) {
        cb(error2);
        return;
      }
      fs.writeFile(outputPath, `${data1}${data2}`, (error3) => {
        if (error3) {
          cb(error3);
          return;
        }
        cb(null); // calling it in the end after all error handling
      });
    });
  });
};
