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);
}));
};
使用ES2016的async/await(可能还有ES2018的一些特性),这可以简化为这样的形式:
function readFile(file) {
... // Returns a promise.
}
async function readFiles(files) {
for (file in files) {
await readFile(file)
}
}
I haven't seen another answer express that simplicity. The OP said parallel execution of readFile was not desired. However, with IO like this it really makes sense to not be blocking on a single file read, while keeping the loop execution synchronous (you don't want to do the next step until all files have been read). Since I just learned about this and am a bit excited about it, I'll share that approach of parallel asynchronous execution of readFile with overall synchronous execution of readFiles.
async function readFiles(files) {
await Promise.all(files.map(readFile))
}
这难道不是一件美好的事情吗?
2017年更新:如果环境支持,我会使用异步函数:
async function readFiles(files) {
for(const file of files) {
await readFile(file);
}
};
如果你愿意,你可以延迟读取文件,直到你需要使用异步生成器(如果你的环境支持它):
async function* readFiles(files) {
for(const file of files) {
yield await readFile(file);
}
};
更新:在第二个想法-我可能会用一个for循环代替:
var readFiles = function(files) {
var p = Promise.resolve(); // Q() in q
files.forEach(file =>
p = p.then(() => readFile(file));
);
return p;
};
或者更确切地说,用reduce:
var readFiles = function(files) {
return files.reduce((p, file) => {
return p.then(() => readFile(file));
}, Promise.resolve()); // initial
};
在其他承诺库(如when和Bluebird)中,您有用于此的实用程序方法。
例如,蓝鸟将是:
var Promise = require("bluebird");
var fs = Promise.promisifyAll(require("fs"));
var readAll = Promise.resolve(files).map(fs.readFileAsync,{concurrency: 1 });
// if the order matters, you can use Promise.each instead and omit concurrency param
readAll.then(function(allFileContents){
// do stuff to read files.
});
尽管现在没有理由不使用async await。
