DRY error handling?

[Michael Holroyd]

Does anyone have a slick solution for including a default error handling function with each call to mongo? I hate wasting many lines of code with if(err) {...} statements in each query.

My stab at it:

var logIfDbError = function(e)

{

  if(e){

    console.log(e); // and send to analytics

  }

};

db.collection('myCollection', function(err, myCollection) { logIfDbError(err);

  myCollection.insert(newDocument, logIfDbError);

  myCollection.count(function(err,count){ logIfDbError(err);

    console.log(count); // and do work

  });

});

welcome to node.js :x

if you really hate it, you can try promises or something, but personally i just learnt to deal with it.
