  return Promise.resolve(element > needle);
}

const inputArray = [10, 20, 30, 40];

// Call Every method
const output = await AsyncRay(inputArray).aEvery(

  async (i, index, collection) => {
    // Dummy async function
    return await dummy(i, 30);
  }
);

console.log(output);
// Output is true

Using methods individually

You can use each method without creating AsyncRay object.

import {
  aEvery, aFilter, aFind, aFindIndex,
  aForEach, aMap, aReduce, aReduceRight, aSome
} from 'async-ray';

// aEvery
const everyResult = await aEvery(
  [1, 2, 3],
  async (e) => Promise.resolve(e > 0)
);

// aFilter
const filterResult = await aFilter(
  [1, 2, 3],
  async (e) => Promise.resolve(e > 1)
);

// aFind
const findResult = await aFind(
  [1, 2, 3],
  async (e) => Promise.resolve(e === 3)
);

// aFindIndex
const findIndexResult = await aFindIndex(
  [1, 2, 3],
  async (e) => Promise.resolve(e === 2)
);

// aForEach
const forEachResult: number[] = [];
await aForEach(
  [1, 2, 3],
  async (e) => {
    const op = await Promise.resolve(e * 10);
	  forEachResult.push(op);
  }
);

// aMap
const mapResult = await aMap(
  [1, 2, 3],
  async (e) => Promise.resolve(e * 10)
);

// aReduce
const reduceResult = await aReduce(
  [1, 2, 3],
  async (acc, e) => Promise.resolve(e + acc),
  0
);

// aReduceRight
const reduceRightResult = await aReduceRight(
  [1, 2, 3],
  async (acc, e) => Promise.resolve(e + acc),
  0
);

// aSome
const someResult = await aSome(
  [1, 2, 3],
  async (e) => Promise.resolve(e > 1)
);

Chaining

Async-Ray methods can be chained using Chain functionality

Basic usage

const { Chain } = require('async-ray');

Chaining will return an instance of Async-Ray if returned type is an array.

sample 1 - aMap() and aFilter()

(sample code)

The process() method must be called explicitly to process the chain because aMap() and aFilter() method returns an array.

const input = [1, 2, 3];

const op = await Chain(input)
  .aMap(
    async (e) => Promise.resolve(e * 10)
  )
  .aFilter(
    async (e) => Promise.resolve(e > 10)
  )
  .aMap(
    async (e) => Promise.resolve(e * 10)
  )
  // Call the process() method to execute the chain
  .process();

console.log('Output is ', op);
// Output is [ 200, 300 ]

sample 2 - aMap(), aFilter() and aFind()

(sample code)

The process() method should not be called because aFind() does not return an array.

const input = [1, 2, 3];

const op = await Chain(input)
  .aMap(
    async (e) => Promise.resolve(e * 10)
  )
  .aFilter(
    async (e) => Promise.resolve(e > 10)
  )
  .aMap(
    async (e) => Promise.resolve(e * 10)
  )
  .aFind(
    async (e) => Promise.resolve(e === 300)
  );
  // No need to call process() method

console.log('Output is ', op);
// Output is 300

Between other Array methods methods

Sample 1 - Async-Ray Chain with filter()

const input = [1, 2, 3];

const op = (
  await Chain(input)
    .aMap(
      async (e) => Promise.resolve(e * 10)
    )
    .aFilter(
      async (e) => Promise.resolve(e > 10)
    )
    .aMap(
      async (e) => Promise.resolve(e * 10)
    )
    .process()
)
.filter(e => e > 200)

console.log('Output is ', op);
// Output is [ 300 ]

Sample 2 - Async-Ray Chain with find()

const input = [1, 2, 3];

const op = (
    await Chain(input)
    .aMap(
      async (e) => Promise.resolve(e * 10)
    )
    .aFilter(
      async (e) => Promise.resolve(e > 10)
    )
    .aMap(
      async (e) => Promise.resolve(e * 10)
    )
    .process()
)
.find(e => e === 200)

console.log('Output is ', op);
// Output is 200
