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)
  })

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;
}

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?

只需使用.then(resPrevTask => nextTask())

(顺便说一下，下一个代码需要4秒。)

函数task1() { return new Promise((resolve) => { setTimeout(() => { 解决(console.log(任务1)) }, 3000) }） ｝ 函数task2() { return new Promise((resolve) => { setTimeout(() => { 解决(console.log(任务2)) }, 1000) }） ｝ 函数seqTasks () { task1 () .then(() => task2()) ｝ seqTasks ();

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
});

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);
}
