eachLimit

Throttled parallell async calls. Typical use case for eachLimit is web-scraping or API-calls.

Inspired by caolan/async but for TypeScript and with added features.

Install

npm install @webura/eachlimit

Example

import eachLimit from '@webura/eachlimit';
const list = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10];

async processMyListFiveAtTime(){
  await eachLimit(list, 5, async item=>{
    await remoteApiCall(item);
  });
}

processMyListFiveAtTime();

See test.ts for more examples

Options

There is a fourth argument delay specified in milliseconds, defaulted to 0. This will delay the initial calls to ease the digestion.

Example:

await eachLimit(list, 5, async item=> await remoteApiCall(item), {delay: 100});

Alternative:

eachLimit.setOptions({ delay: 100 }); // Sets globally
await eachLimit(list, 5, async item=> await remoteApiCall(item));

Testing

npm test
