Discussion on: How to Escape Callback Hell with JavaScipt Promises

[Heiker]

When there is no way to avoid callback style functions, named functions can help ease the pain.

function fight(result) {
  rollForDamage(result, keepFighting, failureCallback);
}

function keepFighting(seasonsLeft) {
  closeTheGate(seasonsLeft, finishHim, failureCallback);
}

function finishHim(result) {
  console.log('Hawkins is safe for ' + result + ' more seasons.');
}

fightTheDemogorgon(fight);

Also, if you are using node you can use the promisify utility to convert those to promise based functions.
