What Is Loop?

Loop is a utility designed to make it easier to run async functions in a loop. All loops return an A+ compliant promise that is resolved when the loop is completed.

Show Me

.. code-block:: javascript

var list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
    asyncDouble = function (value) {
        // Any A+ compliant promise will work.
        var promise = new SomePromiseImplementation();
        // Do something async and resolve the promise with a value.
        setImmediate(promise.resolve.bind(promise, value * 2));
        return promise;
    };

loopjs.map(list, asyncDouble).then(function (newList) {
    console.log(newList); // [2, 4, 6, 8, 10]
});

Currently supported iterations are:

for.each, for.in, for.x, until.true, until.false, map, reduce, select,
remove, find, all, and none.

For more use cases, examples, and API documentation see the 'doc' directory.

Setup

Node.js

This package is published through NPM under the name loopjs::

$ npm install loopjs

Once installed, loopjs = require("loopjs").

Browser

This module uses browserify to create a browser compatible module. The default grunt workflow for this project will generate both a full and minified browser script in a build directory which can be included as a tag::

<script src="loop.browser.min.js"></script>

The package is exposed via the global name loopjs.

Tests

Running the npm test command will kick off the default grunt workflow. This will lint using jslint, run the mocha/expect tests, generate a browser module, and test the browser module using PhantomJS.
