promise_mtd

Set of methods allowing to simplify work with promises in cycle. Implementation of forEach and map for working with array data when it's needed to apply asynchronous function to each element. Method transform allows to iterate asynchronously over an array similar to map, but also it can skip unnecessary data. Implementation of cycle while for using with promise. Method parallel allows to run concurrently promises such as method Promise.all, but with limit. The library has no dependencies 😀.

npm i promise_mtd -S

foreach(Array, Function(el, index)) || forEach(Array, Function(el, index))

Foreach over promises serially

const promiseMtd = require('promise_mtd');
void async function () {
  await promiseMtd.forEach([ 300, 200, 100], async function (el, i) {
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
      setTimeout(function() {
        console.log(el);
        resolve();
      }, el+i);
    });
  });
}();

map(Array, Function(el, index): Promise)

Map over promises serially

const promiseMtd = require('promise_mtd');
void async function () {
  let res = await promiseMtd.map([ 300, 200, 100], async function (el, i) {
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
      setTimeout(function() {
        resolve(el*2);
      }, el*2);
    });
  });
  console.log(res); // [ 600, 400, 200 ]
}();

parallel(Array, Function(el, index))

Equalent Promise.all, but with limit

const promiseMtd = require('promise_mtd');
void async function() {
  try {
    await promiseMtd.parallel([ 3000, 3000, 3000, 2000, 2000, 2000, 1000], 3, async function(t, i) {
      return new Promise((resolve) => {
        // if (i === 4) {
        //   throw new Error('stop');
        // }
        setTimeout(() => {
          console.log(t);
          resolve();
        }, t);
      });
    });
  } catch (err) {
    console.log('Raise', err);
  }
}();

transform(Array, Function(el, index))

Iterate array and filter over promises

const promiseMtd = require('promise_mtd');
void async function() {
  let res = await promiseMtd.transform([ 1, 2, 3, 4 ], function (el, i) {
    if (el <= 2) {
      return new Promise((resolve) => {
        setTimeout(() => resolve({ el, i }), 1000);
      });
    }
  });
  console.log(res); // [ { el: 1, i: 0 }, { el: 2, i: 1 } ]
}();

while(condition: Function(): Boolean, Function)

While over promises serially

const promiseMtd = require('promise_mtd');
void async function() {
  let count = 5;
  await promiseMtd.while(() => count <= 0, async () => {
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
      setTimeout(() => {
        console.log(count);
        count--;
        resolve();
      }, count * 1000);
    });
  })
  console.log(count); // 0
}();
