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)
  })

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);

这是对如何以更通用的方式处理承诺序列的扩展，支持基于spex的动态/无限序列。序列实现:

var $q = require("q");
var spex = require('spex')($q);

var files = []; // any dynamic source of files;

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

function source(index) {
    if (index < files.length) {
        return readFile(files[index]);
    }
}

function dest(index, data) {
    // data = resolved data from readFile;
}

spex.sequence(source, dest)
    .then(function (data) {
        // finished the sequence;
    })
    .catch(function (error) {
        // error;
    });

这种解决方案不仅适用于任何大小的序列，而且还可以轻松地向其添加数据节流和负载平衡。

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;
}

这个问题很老了，但我们生活在ES6和函数式JavaScript的世界里，所以让我们看看如何改进。

因为承诺会立即执行，所以我们不能只创建一个承诺数组，它们会同时发射。

相反，我们需要创建一个返回承诺的函数数组。然后依次执行每个函数，然后在其中启动promise。

我们可以用几种方法来解决这个问题，但我最喜欢的方法是reduce。

把“减少”和“承诺”结合起来使用有点棘手，所以我把这句话分成了几个易于理解的小部分。

这个函数的本质是使用以promise .resolve([])或包含空数组的promise开头的reduce。

然后，这个承诺将作为承诺传递给reduce方法。这是将每个承诺按顺序连接在一起的关键。要执行的下一个promise是func，当then触发时，结果被连接起来，然后返回该promise，使用下一个promise函数执行reduce循环。

一旦执行了所有的promise，返回的promise将包含每个promise的所有结果的数组。

ES6示例(一行)

/*
 * serial executes Promises sequentially.
 * @param {funcs} An array of funcs that return promises.
 * @example
 * const urls = ['/url1', '/url2', '/url3']
 * serial(urls.map(url => () => $.ajax(url)))
 *     .then(console.log.bind(console))
 */
const serial = funcs =>
    funcs.reduce((promise, func) =>
        promise.then(result => func().then(Array.prototype.concat.bind(result))), Promise.resolve([]))

ES6示例(分解)

// broken down to for easier understanding

const concat = list => Array.prototype.concat.bind(list)
const promiseConcat = f => x => f().then(concat(x))
const promiseReduce = (acc, x) => acc.then(promiseConcat(x))
/*
 * serial executes Promises sequentially.
 * @param {funcs} An array of funcs that return promises.
 * @example
 * const urls = ['/url1', '/url2', '/url3']
 * serial(urls.map(url => () => $.ajax(url)))
 *     .then(console.log.bind(console))
 */
const serial = funcs => funcs.reduce(promiseReduce, Promise.resolve([]))

用法:

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

// next convert each item to a function that returns a promise
const funcs = urls.map(url => () => $.ajax(url))

// execute them serially
serial(funcs)
    .then(console.log.bind(console))

(function() {
  function sleep(ms) {
    return new Promise(function(resolve) {
      setTimeout(function() {
        return resolve();
      }, ms);
    });
  }

  function serial(arr, index, results) {
    if (index == arr.length) {
      return Promise.resolve(results);
    }
    return new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
      if (!index) {
        index = 0;
        results = [];
      }
      return arr[index]()
        .then(function(d) {
          return resolve(d);
        })
        .catch(function(err) {
          return reject(err);
        });
    })
      .then(function(result) {
        console.log("here");
        results.push(result);
        return serial(arr, index + 1, results);
      })
      .catch(function(err) {
        throw err;
      });
  }

  const a = [5000, 5000, 5000];

  serial(a.map(x => () => sleep(x)));
})();

这里的关键是如何调用sleep函数。你需要传递一个函数数组，它本身返回一个promise，而不是一个promise数组。
