p-all-runner v0.0.2

p-all-runner

Async function runner to remove the ugly IIFE

Install

yarn add p-all-runner

//esm
import runner from "p-all-runner";

//commonjs
const {runner} = require('p-all-runner');

What?

(async () => {
  const concurrentTasks = []

  concurrentTasks.push(
    (async()=>{ 
      await asyncTask1()
    })(),
    (async()=>{
      await asyncTask2()
    })()
  )

  await Promise.all(concurrentTasks)
})()

Even within the async function there are concurrent tasks that do not "await" immediately. If write concurrent task with async function, need ugly IIFE.

(async () => {
  const pool = runner() 

  pool.add(
    async()=>{ 
      await asyncTask1()
    },
    async()=>{
      await asyncTask2()
    }
  )

  await pool.wait()
})()

The p-all-runner calls the async function instead to remove the IIFE.

API

Runner

Create an runner(pool) instance.

const pool = runner()
// or 
import {Runner} from "p-all-runner"
const pool = new Runner()

pool.add(awaitable)

Add an async function to run immediately. it is possible to add promise or p-all-runner instance instead of async function.

pool.add(
  async()=>{
    await asyncTask1()
    await asyncTask2()
  },
  asyncTask3() //returns promise.
)
pool.add(otherPool) 

pool.defer(act)

Run async function when pool.wait() is called. This is useful when using other p-all-runner instance together.

pool.defer(async()=>{
  await asyncTask1()
})
await pool.wait()

// using other instance together
pool.defer(otherPool)
otherPool.add(()=> asyncTask())
await pool.wait()

pool.wait(opts)

Returns promise.all() for the added async functions.

opts

silent

If true, it returns null without throwing an error. defaults false.
