- To load the package in a website via a
scripttag without installation and bundlers, use the ES Module available on theesmbranch. - If you are using Deno, visit the
denobranch. - For use in Observable, or in browser/node environments, use the Universal Module Definition (UMD) build available on the
umdbranch.
The branches.md file summarizes the available branches and displays a diagram illustrating their relationships.

ifthenAsync( predicate, x, y, done );The predicate function is provided a single argument:
clbk: callback to invoke uponpredicatefunction completion
The callback accepts two arguments:
error: error objectbool: condition used to determine whether to invokexory
Both x and y are provided a single argument:
clbk: callback to invoke upon function completion
The callback function accepts any number of arguments, with the first argument reserved for providing an error. If the error argument is falsy, the done callback is invoked with its first argument as null and all other provided arguments. If the error argument is truthy, the done callback is invoked with only an error argument.

ifthenAsync( predicate, x, y, done );- The function is similar to
ifelseAsync(), but allows deferred argument evaluation. - Execution is not guaranteed to be asynchronous. To guarantee asynchrony, wrap the
donecallback in a function which either executes at the end of the current stack (e.g.,nextTick) or during a subsequent turn of the event loop (e.g.,setImmediate,setTimeout).
