Promise.any?

[andrewwakeling]

It's desirable for me to have Promise.any. (i.e. If any promise resolves, then resolve).

Is it possible to create this method using the existing methods in Yaku? (e.g. I could do something similar to https://github.com/andyjansson/promise-any/blob/master/index.js ).

Is this a good idea? or should I wait for this functionality to appear in Yaku?

I think you mean "Promise.race". Yaku supports it by default. The race function is ES6 standard method, you should use it over the non-standard any function.

It's different.

Promise.any will resolve if any of the supplied promises resolve. It will only reject, if all of the promises reject.

[ysmood]

Well, I understand. How about add it to the yuku's utils namespace?

If you are interested in the ef23611, please make a pull request for it and fix the TODOs.

Promise.race is very broken in that it will create a promise that pends forever with Promise.race([]) which is hard to debug.

In addition, if one promise rejects all the other rejections will go unhandled and unreported with .race, with .any we have the chance to return an iteration over all rejections (a promise for one, anyway).

Basically, you have a chance to provide a better API with .any.

Added, and it supports iterable by default.

Now all the function of yaku that handles array supports iterable.

Thanks for implementing this so promptly! 👍
