|
|
Map over an array or object of values in parallel or series, passing each through the async iterator, with optional lifecycle hooks.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var nal = require('now-and-later');
|
|
|
|
function iterator(value, key, cb){
|
|
// called with each value in sequence
|
|
// also passes the key
|
|
cb(null, value * 2)
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
function create(value, key){
|
|
// called at the beginning of every iteration
|
|
// return a storage object to be passed to each lifecycle method
|
|
return { key: key, value: value };
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
function before(storage){
|
|
// called before the iterator function of every iteration
|
|
// receives the storage returned from `create`
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
function after(result, storage){
|
|
// called after a success occurs in the iterator function of any iteration
|
|
// receives the `result` of the iterator and the storage returned from `create`
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
function error(error, storage){
|
|
// called after an error occurs in the iterator function of any iteration
|
|
// receives the `error` of the iterator and the storage returned from `create`
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
function done(error, results) {
|
|
// called after all iterations complete or an error occurs in an iterator
|
|
// receives an `error` if one occurred and all results (or partial results upon error) of the iterators
|
|
}
|
|
|
|

It uses Object.keys to get an order

It is better to use an array if order must be guaranteed

|
|
nal.mapSeries([1, 2, 3], iterator, {
|
|
create: create,
|
|
before: before,
|
|
after: after,
|
|
error: error
|
|
}, done);
|
|
|
|
nal.map({
|
|
iter1: 1,
|
|
iter2: 2
|
|
}, iterator, {
|
|
create: create,
|

## API
|
|
|
|
### `map(values, iterator[, extensions][, callback])`
|
|
|
|
Takes an object or array of `values` and an `iterator` function to execute with each value.
|
|
Optionally, takes an `extensions` object and a `callback` function that is called upon completion of the iterations.
|
|
|
|
All iterations run in parallel.
|
|
|
|
#### `values`
|
|
|
|
An array or object of values to iterate over.
|
|
|
|
If `values` is an array, iterations are started in order by index. If `values` is an object, iterations are started in order by the order returned by `Object.keys` (order is not guaranteed).
|
|
|
|
If `values` is an array, the results of each iteration will be mapped to an array. If `values` is an object, the results of each iteration will be mapped to an object with corresponding keys.
|
|
|
|
#### `iterator(value, key, done)`
|
|
|
|
An async function called per iteration. All iterations are run in parallel.
|
|
|
|
The `iterator` function is called once with each `value`, `key` and a function (`done(error, result)`) to call when the async work is complete.
|
|
|
|
If `done` is passed an error as the first argument, the iteration will fail and the sequence will be ended; however, any iterations in progress will still complete. If `done` is passed a `result` value as the second argument, it will be added to the final results array or object.
|
|
|
|
#### `extensions`
|
|
|
|
The `extensions` object is used for specifying functions that give insight into the lifecycle of each iteration. The possible extension points are `create`, `before`, `after` and `error`. If an extension point is not specified, it defaults to a no-op function.
|
|
|
|
##### `extensions.create(value, key)`
|
|
|
|
Called at the very beginning of each iteration with the `value` being iterated and the `key` from the array or object. If `create` returns a value (`storage`), it is passed to the `before`, `after` and `error` extension points.
|
|
|
|
If a value is not returned, an empty object is used as `storage` for each other extension point.
|
|
|
|
This is useful for tracking information across an iteration.
|
|
|
|
##### `extensions.before(storage)`
|
|
|
|
Called immediately before each iteration with the `storage` value returned from the `create` extension point.
|
|
|
|
##### `extensions.after(result, storage)`
|
|
|
|
Called immediately after each iteration with the `result` of the iteration and the `storage` value returned from the `create` extension point.
|
|
|
|
##### `extensions.error(error, storage)`
|
|
|
|
Called immediately after a failed iteration with the `error` of the iteration and the `storage` value returned from the `create` extension point.
|
|
|
|
#### `callback(error, results)`
|
|
|
|
A function that is called after all iterations have completed or one iteration has errored.
|
|
|
|
If all iterations completed successfully, the `error` argument will be empty and the `results` will be a mapping of the `iterator` results.
|
|
|
|
If an iteration errored, the `error` argument will be passed from that iteration and the `results` will be whatever partial results had completed successfully before the error occurred.
|
|
|
|
### `mapSeries(values, iterator[, extensions][, callback])`
|
|
|
|
Takes an object or array of `values` and an `iterator` function to execute with each value.
|
|
Optionally, takes an `extensions` object and a `callback` function that is called upon completion of the iterations.
|
|
|
|
All iterations run in serial.
|
|
|
|
#### `values`
|
|
|
|
An array or object of values to iterate over.
|
|
|
|
If `values` is an array, iterations are started in order by index. If `values` is an object, iterations are started in order by the order returned by `Object.keys` (order is not guaranteed).
|
|
|
|
If `values` is an array, the results of each iteration will be mapped to an array. If `values` is an object, the results of each iteration will be mapped to an object with corresponding keys.
|
|
|
|
#### `iterator(value, key, done)`
|
|
|
|
An async function called per iteration. All iterations are run in serial.
|
|
|
|
The `iterator` function is called once with each `value`, `key` and a function (`done(error, result)`) to call when the async work is complete.
|
|
|
|
If `done` is passed an error as the first argument, the iteration will fail and the sequence will be ended without executing any more iterations. If `done` is passed a `result` value as the second argument, it will be added to the final results array or object.
|
|
|
|
#### `extensions`
|
|
|
|
The `extensions` object is used for specifying functions that give insight into the lifecycle of each iteration. The possible extension points are `create`, `before`, `after` and `error`. If an extension point is not specified, it defaults to a no-op function.
|
|
|
|
##### `extensions.create(value, key)`
|
|
|
|
Called at the very beginning of each iteration with the `value` being iterated and the `key` from the array or object. If `create` returns a value (`storage`), it is passed to the `before`, `after` and `error` extension points.
|
|
|
|
If a value is not returned, an empty object is used as `storage` for each other extension point.
|
|
|
|
This is useful for tracking information across an iteration.
|
|
|
|
##### `extensions.before(storage)`
|
|
|
|
Called immediately before each iteration with the `storage` value returned from the `create` extension point.
|
|
|
|
##### `extensions.after(result, storage)`
|
|
|
|
Called immediately after each iteration with the `result` of the iteration and the `storage` value returned from the `create` extension point.
|
|
|
|
##### `extensions.error(error, storage)`
|
|
|
|
Called immediately after a failed iteration with the `error` of the iteration and the `storage` value returned from the `create` extension point.
|
|
|
|
#### `callback(error, results)`
|
|
|
|
A function that is called after all iterations have completed or one iteration has errored.
|
|
|
|
If all iterations completed successfully, the `error` argument will be empty and the `results` will be a mapping of the `iterator` results.
|
|
|
|
If an iteration errored, the `error` argument will be passed from that iteration and the `results` will be whatever partial results had completed successfully before the error occurred.
