Create a custom callback in JavaScript

Question

All I need to do is to execute a callback function when my current function execution ends.

function LoadData() 
{
    alert(\'The data has been loaded\');
          


        

Answer 1

Some of the answers, while correct may be a little tricky to understand. Here is an example in layman's terms:

var users = ["Sam", "Ellie", "Bernie"];

function addUser(username, callback)
{
    setTimeout(function()
    {
        users.push(username);
        callback();
    }, 200);
}

function getUsers()
{
    setTimeout(function()
    {
        console.log(users);
    }, 100);
}

addUser("Jake", getUsers);

The callback means, "Jake" is always added to the users before displaying the list of users with console.log.
