abstract class Callback[-E, -A] extends (Either[E, A]) => Unit

Represents a callback that should be called asynchronously with the result of a computation.

This is an Either[E, A] => Unit with an OOP interface that avoids extra boxing, along with overloads of apply.

The onSuccess method should be called only once, with the successful result, whereas onError should be called if the result is an error.

Obviously Callback describes unsafe side-effects, a fact that is highlighted by the usage of Unit as the return type. Obviously callbacks are unsafe to use in pure code, but are necessary for describing asynchronous processes.

THREAD-SAFETY: callback implementations are NOT thread-safe by contract, this depends on the implementation. Callbacks can be made easily thread-safe via wrapping with:

NOTE that callbacks injected in the Task async builders (e.g. Task.async) are thread-safe.

    In case the underlying callback implementation protects against protocol violations, then this method should return false in case the final result was already signaled once via onSuccess or onError.

    The default implementation relies on catching

    CallbackCalledMultipleTimesException in case of violations, which is what thread-safe implementations of onSuccess or onError are usually throwing.
