promise-flowcontrol v1.2.1

promise-flowcontrol

Wrapping the async library to support working with promises. This enables you to pass promise-generating functions to the parallel and series methods and returns a promise instead of having to specify a callback

Install

npm install promise-flowcontrol

This module can be used for Node.js as well as browsers using Browserify.

Usage

Basic usage

import async from 'promise-flowcontrol'

// Note: promisesArray expects to be built out of *functions*
// that return promises, because else the promises start 
// instantly and can't be run in series anymore.
let promiseArray = [
  () => new Promise(resolve => resolve('Test.')),
  // ...
]

// Work on all promises in parallel
async.parallel(promiseArray)
  .then(results => console.log(results))

// Work on the promises in series
async.series(promiseArray)
  .then(results => console.log(results))

API

• parallel(tasks, limit, silenceErrors)
  • tasks - List of promise-returning functions
  • limit - Optional concurrency limit
  • silenceErrors - If optionally set to true, ignore errors in the promises and return null for failed promises instead
• series(tasks, silenceErrors)
  • tasks - List of promise-returning functions
  • silenceErrors - If optionally set to true, ignore errors in the promises and return null for failed promises instead
