Demo: Handle an Error-First Callback

Look up a delivery route

A route lookup passes two values to its callback: (error, result). Exactly one is meaningful on each path. This example is synchronous; later APIs can also invoke callbacks after a delay.

javascript
function lookupRoute(code, callback) {
  const routes = { R1: "Market", R2: "Depot" };
  if (!routes[code]) {
    callback(new Error("Unknown route"), null);
    return;
  }
  callback(null, routes[code]);
}

function showRoute(error, destination) {
  console.log(error ? error.message : `Deliver to ${destination}`);
}
lookupRoute("R1", showRoute);
lookupRoute("R9", showRoute);

Run both calls and watch which callback argument is usable each time. Next, use the same error/result contract for a seat reservation with its own validation rules.
