What does cps do in redux saga?

It's about 5 months that I work with redux-saga, it's a great and strong middleware library.

I know almost everything in redux-saga, but I couldn't still understand "cps".

Can anyone explain me (with an example) what can be done with "cps"?

I really appreciate if someone takes me out of this confusion.

Solution

  • cps effect is there to easily handle asynchronous functions that receive a nodejs style callback as last parameter.

    const doSomething = (param1, param2, callback) => {
  setTimeout(() => {
    callback(null, 'done')
  }, 1000)
}

function* saga() {
  const result = yield cps(doSomething, 'foo', 'bar')
  console.log(result) // 'done'
}
