promlop v0.2.2
promlop
An easy to use zero-dependency vanilla promise loop utility.
WARNING: promlop is still early in development. Stability is not guaranteed and functions may be altered frequently.
Installation
$ npm install promlop
Importing
Commonjs
const promlop = require("promlop");
ES6
import {promWhile, promEach} from "promlop";
Default Namespace
import Promlop from "promlop";
Usage
v0.2.0
promFor
The promise equivalent of a for
loop.
import {promFor} from "promlop";
promFor({
iterator: 0, // Initial value of the [iterator]
condition: async (iterator: number) => iterator < 10, // Condition to check before running the [promise]
update: async (iterator: number) => iterator + 1, // Update the [iterator] after running the [promise]
promise: async (iterator: number) => {
console.log(iterator);
} // The promise to run if condidion is truthy
}).then(() => {
console.log("Ended promise based for loop");
});
promWhile
The promise equivalent of a while
loop.
import {promWhile} from "promlop";
let iterator: number = 0;
promWhile({
condition: async () => iterator < 10, // Condition to check before running the [promise]
promise: async () => {
console.log(iterator);
} // The promise to run if condidion is truthy
}).then(() => {
console.log("Ended promise based while loop");
});
promDo
The promise equivalent of a do while
loop.
import {promDo} from "promlop";
let iterator: number = 0;
promDo({
condition: async () => iterator < 10, // Condition to check before running the [promise]
promise: async () => {
console.log(iterator);
} // The promise to run if condidion is truthy
}).then(() => {
console.log("Ended promise based do while loop");
});
promEach
The promise equivalent of a for each
loop.
import {promEach} from "promlop";
let people: Array<any> = 0;
let getPeople: Array<() => Promise<any>> = [
async () => {
things.push("Mega Man");
},
async () => {
things.push("Blue Beetle");
},
async () => {
things.push("Sonic");
}
];
promEach({
promises: getPeople, // An array of promises to loop through
each: async (result: any) => {} // A function called after each promise
}).then(() => {
console.log("Ended promise based for each loop");
});
OLD v0.1.2
Version 0.1.2 of promlop supports 3 ways to loop through a series of promises.
Note please only use these functions if you are using v0.1.2 or earlier as newer functions (starting from v0.2.0) may be easier to understand and are still being maintained.
promLoop
const promlop = require("promlop");
let iteration = 0;
promlop
.promLoop({
promise: async () => {
iteration++;
return {
continue: iteration < 5 // Loop will continue until this value is false
};
}
})
.then(() => {})
.catch((err) => {});
promIterate
import {promIterate} from "promlop";
const promiseOne = async () => {
console.log("First Promise Complete");
return {};
};
const promiseTwo = async () => {
console.log("Second Promise Complete");
return {};
};
promIterate({
promises: [promiseOne, promiseTwo], // List of promises to sequentially iterate through
index: 1 // Start on "promiseTwo".
})
.then(() => {})
.catch((err) => {});
