使用Async/Await(如果你有ES7的支持)

function downloadFile(fileUrl) { ... } // This function return a Promise

async function main()
{
  var filesList = [...];

  for (const file of filesList) {
    await downloadFile(file);
  }
}

(你必须使用for循环，而不是forEach，因为async/await在forEach循环中运行有问题)

没有Async/Await(使用Promise)

function downloadFile(fileUrl) { ... } // This function return a Promise

function downloadRecursion(filesList, index)
{
  index = index || 0;
  if (index < filesList.length)
  {
    downloadFile(filesList[index]).then(function()
    {
      index++;
      downloadRecursion(filesList, index); // self invocation - recursion!
    });
  }
  else
  {
    return Promise.resolve();
  }
}

function main()
{
  var filesList = [...];
  downloadRecursion(filesList);
}

下面是我比较喜欢的连续运行任务的方式。

function runSerial() {
    var that = this;
    // task1 is a function that returns a promise (and immediately starts executing)
    // task2 is a function that returns a promise (and immediately starts executing)
    return Promise.resolve()
        .then(function() {
            return that.task1();
        })
        .then(function() {
            return that.task2();
        })
        .then(function() {
            console.log(" ---- done ----");
        });
}

有更多任务的情况会怎样呢?10 ?

function runSerial(tasks) {
  var result = Promise.resolve();
  tasks.forEach(task => {
    result = result.then(() => task());
  });
  return result;
}

我的答案基于https://stackoverflow.com/a/31070150/7542429。

Promise.series = function series(arrayOfPromises) {
    var results = [];
    return arrayOfPromises.reduce(function(seriesPromise, promise) {
      return seriesPromise.then(function() {
        return promise
        .then(function(result) {
          results.push(result);
        });
      });
    }, Promise.resolve())
    .then(function() {
      return results;
    });
  };

该解决方案以Promise.all()等数组的形式返回结果。

用法:

Promise.series([array of promises])
.then(function(results) { 
  // do stuff with results here
});

我在Promise对象上创建了这个简单的方法:

创建并添加承诺。sequence方法添加到Promise对象

Promise.sequence = function (chain) {
    var results = [];
    var entries = chain;
    if (entries.entries) entries = entries.entries();
    return new Promise(function (yes, no) {
        var next = function () {
            var entry = entries.next();
            if(entry.done) yes(results);
            else {
                results.push(entry.value[1]().then(next, function() { no(results); } ));
            }
        };
        next();
    });
};

用法:

var todo = [];

todo.push(firstPromise);
if (someCriterium) todo.push(optionalPromise);
todo.push(lastPromise);

// Invoking them
Promise.sequence(todo)
    .then(function(results) {}, function(results) {});

Promise对象的这个扩展最好的一点是，它与Promise的风格一致。的承诺。一切和承诺。序列以同样的方式调用，但具有不同的语义。

谨慎

连续运行承诺通常不是使用承诺的好方法。通常使用Promise会更好。所有这些，并让浏览器尽可能快地运行代码。然而，它也有一些实际的用例——例如在使用javascript编写移动应用程序时。

我使用以下代码扩展Promise对象。它处理承诺的拒绝并返回一个结果数组

Code

/*
    Runs tasks in sequence and resolves a promise upon finish

    tasks: an array of functions that return a promise upon call.
    parameters: an array of arrays corresponding to the parameters to be passed on each function call.
    context: Object to use as context to call each function. (The 'this' keyword that may be used inside the function definition)
*/
Promise.sequence = function(tasks, parameters = [], context = null) {
    return new Promise((resolve, reject)=>{

        var nextTask = tasks.splice(0,1)[0].apply(context, parameters[0]); //Dequeue and call the first task
        var output = new Array(tasks.length + 1);
        var errorFlag = false;

        tasks.forEach((task, index) => {
            nextTask = nextTask.then(r => {
                output[index] = r;
                return task.apply(context, parameters[index+1]);
            }, e=>{
                output[index] = e;
                errorFlag = true;
                return task.apply(context, parameters[index+1]);
            });
        });

        // Last task
        nextTask.then(r=>{
            output[output.length - 1] = r;
            if (errorFlag) reject(output); else resolve(output);
        })
        .catch(e=>{
            output[output.length - 1] = e;
            reject(output);
        });
    });
};

例子

function functionThatReturnsAPromise(n) {
    return new Promise((resolve, reject)=>{
        //Emulating real life delays, like a web request
        setTimeout(()=>{
            resolve(n);
        }, 1000);
    });
}

var arrayOfArguments = [['a'],['b'],['c'],['d']];
var arrayOfFunctions = (new Array(4)).fill(functionThatReturnsAPromise);


Promise.sequence(arrayOfFunctions, arrayOfArguments)
.then(console.log)
.catch(console.error);

使用Array.prototype。Reduce，并记住将承诺包装在函数中，否则它们将已经在运行!

// array of Promise providers

const providers = [
  function(){
     return Promise.resolve(1);
  },
  function(){
     return Promise.resolve(2);
  },
  function(){
     return Promise.resolve(3);
  }
]


const inSeries = function(providers){

  const seed = Promise.resolve(null); 

  return providers.reduce(function(a,b){
      return a.then(b);
  }, seed);
};

很好很简单…… 您应该能够为性能等重新使用相同的种子。

在使用reduce时，防止空数组或只有一个元素的数组是很重要的，所以这个技术是你最好的选择:

   const providers = [
      function(v){
         return Promise.resolve(v+1);
      },
      function(v){
         return Promise.resolve(v+2);
      },
      function(v){
         return Promise.resolve(v+3);
      }
    ]

    const inSeries = function(providers, initialVal){

        if(providers.length < 1){
            return Promise.resolve(null)
        }

        return providers.reduce((a,b) => a.then(b), providers.shift()(initialVal));
    };

然后像这样叫它:

inSeries(providers, 1).then(v => {
   console.log(v);  // 7
});
