node-sequential-promises

A tiny script to run async functions aka promises one after the other

Usage

Import package:

import { runSequence } from "@klw/node-sequential-promises";

Your async functions must follow a few rules:

• If it's successful, it must return Promise.resolve()
• If it fails, it must
  • return Promise.reject() or
  • return Promise.reject("Your Error Message Here") or
  • return Promise.reject(new Error("Your Error Message Here"))

const myAsyncFunc1 = async () => {
    if (1 + 1 = 2) {
        return Promise.resolve();
    } else {
        return Promise.reject("Your Error Message Here");
    }
}

Run your async functions on the order you like:

const result = await runSequence([myAsyncFunc1, myAsyncFunc2, myAsyncFunc3]);

node-sequential-promises will run them one after the other.

• If one should fail, it will stop running all others.
• Even if it fails, you will get a resolved result.

Return value

A positive result:

{
  success: true,
  started: [0, 1, 2],
  fulfilled: [0, 1, 2],
}

A negative result (2nd async function failed):

{
  success: false,
  started: [0, 1],
  fulfilled: [0],
  errorMessage: "Your Error Message Here",
}
