deferred.done()

Categories: Deferred Object

deferred.done( doneCallbacks [, doneCallbacks ] )Returns: Deferred

Description: Add handlers to be called when the Deferred object is resolved.

The deferred.done() method accepts one or more arguments, all of which can be either a single function or an array of functions. When the Deferred is resolved, the doneCallbacks are called. Callbacks are executed in the order they were added. Since deferred.done() returns the deferred object, other methods of the deferred object can be chained to this one, including additional .done() methods. When the Deferred is resolved, doneCallbacks are executed using the arguments provided to the resolve or resolveWith method call in the order they were added. For more information, see the documentation for Deferred object.

Examples:

Since the jQuery.get method returns a jqXHR object, which is derived from a Deferred object, we can attach a success callback using the .done() method.

$.get( "test.php" ).done(function() {
  alert( "$.get succeeded" );
});

Resolve a Deferred object when the user clicks a button, triggering a number of callback functions:
