Readme
map
Call fn
, which returns a promise, on each item in array
, returning new array.
var q = require('q');
require('q-flow'); // extends q
var fn = function (each) {
return q.when(each + 1);
};
var array = [ 1, 2, 3 ];
q.map(array, fn).then(function (array) {
expect(array).to.deep.equal([ 2, 3, 4 ]);
});
each
Like map
except new array is not created.
find
Find first object in array
satisfying the condition returned by the promise returned by fn
.
var array = [ 1, 2, 3 ];
q.find(array, function (each) {
return q.fcall(function () {
return each === 2;
});
}).then(function (result) {
expect(result).to.equal(2);
});
until
Loop until the promise returned by fn
returns a truthy value.
q.until(function () {
return q.fcall(function () {
/* code which eventually returns true */
});
}).then(function (each) {
/* finished */
});
addBack
Allow one to place node-styled callback onto promise. This exits the promise run-loop so that it no longer catches exceptions.
promise.addBack(function (err, result) {
// gets `err` if failure happened, otherwise `result` is populated
});
