async-array

A simple array wrapper that allows you to interact with async content and self manageable promise resolution by passing an async generator function.

Usage

const generator = (i) => i + 1; // this can be any async function, ie an API call
const asyncArray = AsyncArray(generator);
asyncArray[0]; // This will set a promise at index 0
await asyncArray[0]; // This will resolve the promise to 1

Suported methods

Array methods

Since it should behave as much as possible like an array, the following methods are supported:

• map
• filter
• reduce
• forEach
• find
• findIndex
• length

take in count that this methods will return a new common array, not an AsyncArray.

Special methods

• wipe: this will empty the async array, and will set the length to 0
• wipeIndex: this will empty the async array at the given index
• clone: this will return a new AsyncArray with the same generator function
