forEachAsync
Invoke a function once for each element in a collection.
Installation
npm install @stdlib/utils-async-for-each
Usage
var forEachAsync = require( '@stdlib/utils-async-for-each' );
forEachAsync( collection, [options,] fcn, done )
Invokes a function once for each element in a collection
.
function onDuration( value, next ) {
setTimeout( onTimeout, value );
function onTimeout() {
console.log( value );
next();
}
}
function done( error ) {
if ( error ) {
throw error;
}
}
var arr = [ 3000, 2500, 1000 ];
forEachAsync( arr, onDuration, done );
/* =>
1000
2500
3000
*/
The function accepts the following options
:
- limit: the maximum number of pending invocations at any one time. Default:
infinity
. - series: boolean indicating whether to sequentially invoke
fcn
for eachcollection
element. Iftrue
, the function setsoptions.limit=1
. Default:false
. - thisArg: the execution context for
fcn
.
By default, all elements are processed concurrently, which means that the function does not guarantee completion order. To process each collection
element sequentially, set the series
option to true
.
function onDuration( value, next ) {
setTimeout( onTimeout, value );
function onTimeout() {
console.log( value );
next();
}
}
function done( error ) {
if ( error ) {
throw error;
}
}
var arr = [ 3000, 2500, 1000 ];
var opts = {
'series': true
};
forEachAsync( arr, opts, onDuration, done );
/* =>
3000
2500
1000
*/
To limit the maximum number of pending function invocations, set the limit
option.
function onDuration( value, next ) {
setTimeout( onTimeout, value );
function onTimeout() {
console.log( value );
next();
}
}
function done( error ) {
if ( error ) {
throw error;
}
}
var arr = [ 3000, 2500, 1000 ];
var opts = {
'limit': 2
};
forEachAsync( arr, opts, onDuration, done );
/* =>
2500
3000
1000
*/
To set the execution context of fcn
, set the thisArg
option.
function onDuration( value, next ) {
this.count += 1;
setTimeout( onTimeout, value );
function onTimeout() {
next();
}
}
var arr = [ 3000, 2500, 1000 ];
var context = {
'count': 0
};
var opts = {
'thisArg': context
};
forEachAsync( arr, opts, onDuration, done );
function done( error ) {
if ( error ) {
throw error;
}
console.log( context.count );
// => 3
}
When invoked, fcn
is provided a maximum of four arguments:
- value: collection value.
- index: collection index.
- collection: the input
collection
. - next: a callback which should be called once
fcn
has finished processing a collectionvalue
.
The actual number of provided arguments depends on function length
. If fcn
accepts two arguments, fcn
is provided value
and next
. If fcn
accepts three arguments, fcn
is provided value
, index
, and next
. For every other fcn
signature, fcn
is provided all four arguments.
function onDuration( value, i, collection, next ) {
console.log( 'collection: %s. %d: %d', collection.join( ',' ), i, value );
setTimeout( onTimeout, value );
function onTimeout() {
console.log( value );
next();
}
}
function done( error ) {
if ( error ) {
throw error;
}
}
var arr = [ 3000, 2500, 1000 ];
forEachAsync( arr, onDuration, done );
/* =>
collection: 3000,2500,1000. 0: 3000
collection: 3000,2500,1000. 1: 2500
collection: 3000,2500,1000. 2: 1000
1000
2500
3000
*/
forEachAsync.factory( [options,] fcn )
Returns a function which invokes a function once for each element in a collection
.
function onDuration( value, next ) {
setTimeout( onTimeout, value );
function onTimeout() {
console.log( value );
next();
}
}
function done( error ) {
if ( error ) {
throw error;
}
}
var f = forEachAsync.factory( onDuration );
var arr1 = [ 3000, 2500, 1000 ];
f( arr1, done );
/* =>
1000
2500
3000
*/
var arr2 = [ 300, 250, 100 ];
f( arr2, done );
/* =>
100
250
300
*/
The function accepts the same options
as forEachAsync()
.
Notes
- A
collection
may be either anArray
,Typed Array
, or an array-likeObject
(excludingstrings
andfunctions
). - If a provided function calls the
next
callback with a truthyerror
argument, the function suspends execution and immediately calls thedone
callback for subsequenterror
handling. - The function does not support dynamic
collection
resizing. - The function does not skip
undefined
elements. - Neither
forEachAsync
nor the function returned by thefactory
method guarantee asynchronous execution. To guarantee asynchrony, wrap thedone
callback 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
).
Examples
var resolve = require( 'path' ).resolve;
var readFile = require( '@stdlib/fs-read-file' );
var forEachAsync = require( '@stdlib/utils-async-for-each' );
var files = [
resolve( __dirname, 'package.json' ),
resolve( __dirname, 'README.md' )
];
function done( error ) {
if ( error ) {
throw error;
}
console.log( 'Successfully read all files.' );
}
function read( file, next ) {
var opts = {
'encoding': 'utf8'
};
readFile( file, opts, onFile );
function onFile( error ) {
if ( error ) {
error = new Error( 'unable to read file: '+file );
return next( error );
}
console.log( 'Successfully read file: %s', file );
next();
}
}
forEachAsync( files, read, done );
