要在ES6中简单地做到这一点:

function(files) {
  // Create a new empty promise (don't do that with real people ;)
  var sequence = Promise.resolve();

  // Loop over each file, and add on a promise to the
  // end of the 'sequence' promise.
  files.forEach(file => {

    // Chain one computation onto the sequence
    sequence = 
      sequence
        .then(() => performComputation(file))
        .then(result => doSomething(result)); 
        // Resolves for each file, one at a time.

  })

  // This will resolve after the entire chain is resolved
  return sequence;
}

我喜欢的解决方案:

function processArray(arr, fn) {
    return arr.reduce(
        (p, v) => p.then((a) => fn(v).then(r => a.concat([r]))),
        Promise.resolve([])
    );
}

它与这里发表的其他文章没有本质区别，但是:

将函数应用于序列中的项 解析为结果数组 不需要async/await(支持仍然非常有限，大约在2017年) 使用箭头函数;非常简洁

使用示例:

const numbers = [0, 4, 20, 100];
const multiplyBy3 = (x) => new Promise(res => res(x * 3));

// Prints [ 0, 12, 60, 300 ]
processArray(numbers, multiplyBy3).then(console.log);

在当前合理的Chrome (v59)和NodeJS (v8.1.2)上测试。

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。

要在ES6中简单地做到这一点:

function(files) {
  // Create a new empty promise (don't do that with real people ;)
  var sequence = Promise.resolve();

  // Loop over each file, and add on a promise to the
  // end of the 'sequence' promise.
  files.forEach(file => {

    // Chain one computation onto the sequence
    sequence = 
      sequence
        .then(() => performComputation(file))
        .then(result => doSomething(result)); 
        // Resolves for each file, one at a time.

  })

  // This will resolve after the entire chain is resolved
  return sequence;
}

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。

正如Bergi所注意到的，我认为最好的和明确的解决方案是使用蓝鸟。每个，代码如下:

const BlueBird = require('bluebird');
BlueBird.each(files, fs.readFileAsync);
