Create a Javascript Callback function?

three ways to achieve "// How to pass response to callback ?" :

1. callback(response, otherArg1, otherArg2);
2. callback.call(this, response, otherArg1, otherArg2);
3. callback.apply(this, [response, otherArg1, otherArg2]);

1 is the simplest, 2 is in case you want to control the 'this' variable's value inside your callbackfunction, and 3 is similar to 2, but you can pass a variable number of arguments to callback.

here is a decent reference: http://odetocode.com/Blogs/scott/archive/2007/07/05/function-apply-and-function-call-in-javascript.aspx

Just invoke the passed in function.

callback(response)

You're close... just use the callback. In this instance, you can form a closure.

var MyClass = {

myMethod : function(params, callback) {

    // do some stuff

    FB.method: 'sth.',
       'perms': 'sth.'
       'display': 'iframe'
      },
      function(response) {

            if (response.perms != null) {
                callback(response);
            } else {
                // response is null, but you can pass it the same as you did above - if you want to.  Probably better to have a generic failure handler
                ajaxFailHandler();
            }
      });
}

I think you can simply call callback(response.perms) there. You could also register it as a

member of your class:

  MyClass.cb = callback;

and later call it:

 MyClass.cb(response.perms)

callback.call(null, response);

MyClass.myMethod("sth.", myCallback);
var myCallback = function myCallback() { // do sth }

var MyClass = {

myMethod : function(params, callback) {

    // do some stuff

    FB.method: 'sth.',
       'perms': 'sth.'
       'display': 'iframe'
      },
      function(response) {

            if (response.perms != null) {
                callback();
            } else {
                callback();
            }
      });
}

}

You've got a reference to a function now. Just invoke it:

callback(response.perms);
