考虑下面以串行/顺序方式读取文件数组的代码。readFiles返回一个承诺,只有在顺序读取所有文件后才会解析这个承诺。

var readFile = function(file) {
  ... // Returns a promise.
};

var readFiles = function(files) {
  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    var readSequential = function(index) {
      if (index >= files.length) {
        resolve();
      } else {
        readFile(files[index]).then(function() {
          readSequential(index + 1);
        }).catch(reject);
      }
    };

    readSequential(0); // Start with the first file!
  });
};

上面的代码可以工作,但是我不喜欢为了使事情按顺序发生而进行递归。是否有一种更简单的方法可以重写这段代码,这样我就不必使用奇怪的readSequential函数了?

最初我尝试使用Promise。但是这会导致所有的readFile调用并发发生,这不是我想要的:

var readFiles = function(files) {
  return Promise.all(files.map(function(file) {
    return readFile(file);
  }));
};

有一个npm包Promise Serial可以很好地做到这一点:

const Promise_serial = require('promise-serial');

 const promises =
    Array(15).fill()
    .map((_, i) =>
        () => new Promise(resolve => {
            console.log('promise '+i+' start');
            setTimeout(
                () => {
                    console.log('promise '+i+' end');
                    resolve('output-'+i);
                },
                500
            );
        })
    );


console.log('### Run promises in sequence')

Promise_serial(promises)

输出:

promise 0 start
promise 0 end
promise 1 start
promise 1 end
promise 2 start
promise 2 end
promise 3 start
promise 3 end
promise 4 start
promise 4 end
promise 5 start
promise 5 end
promise 6 start
promise 6 end
promise 7 start
promise 7 end

... etc

您还可以批处理或并行化它们。

我真的很喜欢@joelnet的回答,但对我来说,这种编码风格有点难以消化,所以我花了几天时间试图弄清楚如何以更可读的方式表达相同的解决方案,这就是我的想法,只是使用了不同的语法和一些注释。

// first take your work
const urls = ['/url1', '/url2', '/url3', '/url4']

// next convert each item to a function that returns a promise
const functions = urls.map((url) => {
  // For every url we return a new function
  return () => {
    return new Promise((resolve) => {
      // random wait in milliseconds
      const randomWait = parseInt((Math.random() * 1000),10)
      console.log('waiting to resolve in ms', randomWait)
      setTimeout(()=>resolve({randomWait, url}),randomWait)
    })
  }
})


const promiseReduce = (acc, next) => {
  // we wait for the accumulator to resolve it's promise
  return acc.then((accResult) => {
    // and then we return a new promise that will become
    // the new value for the accumulator
    return next().then((nextResult) => {
      // that eventually will resolve to a new array containing
      // the value of the two promises
      return accResult.concat(nextResult)
    })
  })
};
// the accumulator will always be a promise that resolves to an array
const accumulator = Promise.resolve([])

// we call reduce with the reduce function and the accumulator initial value
functions.reduce(promiseReduce, accumulator)
  .then((result) => {
    // let's display the final value here
    console.log('=== The final result ===')
    console.log(result)
  })

你可以使用这个函数来获取promiseFactories List:

function executeSequentially(promiseFactories) {
    var result = Promise.resolve();
    promiseFactories.forEach(function (promiseFactory) {
        result = result.then(promiseFactory);
    });
    return result;
}

Promise Factory是一个简单的函数,返回一个Promise:

function myPromiseFactory() {
    return somethingThatCreatesAPromise();
}

它之所以有效,是因为承诺工厂直到被要求才创建承诺。它的工作方式与then函数相同——事实上,它是一样的!

你根本不想在一组承诺上操作。根据Promise规范,一旦创建了Promise,它就开始执行。所以你真正想要的是一系列的承诺工厂…

如果你想了解更多的承诺,你应该检查这个链接: https://pouchdb.com/2015/05/18/we-have-a-problem-with-promises.html

这里有很多答案,但我没有看到这个简单的解决方案:

await array.reduce(
  async (promise, member) => await myLongSequentialPromise(member),
  array[0]
)

您的方法还不错,但它确实有两个问题:它会吞下错误,并且使用显式承诺构造反模式。

你可以解决这两个问题,并使代码更干净,同时仍然采用相同的一般策略:

var Q = require("q");

var readFile = function(file) {
  ... // Returns a promise.
};

var readFiles = function(files) {
  var readSequential = function(index) {
    if (index < files.length) {
      return readFile(files[index]).then(function() {
        return readSequential(index + 1);
      });
    }
  };

  // using Promise.resolve() here in case files.length is 0
  return Promise.resolve(readSequential(0)); // Start!
};

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
});
