Question

I have a function that looks like this. It works.

Problem

This function myFunction is called by many other functions and depending on which one it should do something different on success.

Question

How is this solved? Some kind of callback? or do I have to send an extra parameter for the function to know?

Code

function myfunction()
{
    var value = "myvalue";
    var post_url = "ajax.php";

    $.post(  
        post_url,
        {
             value: value,
        },
            function(responseText){  
                var json = JSON.parse(responseText);
                if(json.success)
                {
                    console.log('success'); 
                }
            }
        );
    }
}

Answer 1

Add a function parameter and call it on success:

function myfunction(callback)
{
    var value = "myvalue";
    var post_url = "ajax.php";

    $.post(  
        post_url,
        {
             value: value,
        },
            function(responseText){  
                var json = JSON.parse(responseText);
                if(json.success)
                {
                    console.log('success'); 
                    //call callback 
                    callback();

                }
            }
        );
    }
}
