async await in a loop code example

Example 1: async for loop

(async function loop() {
    for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
        await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, Math.random() * 1000));
        console.log(i);
    }
})();

Example 2: foreach async typescript

for (const file of files) {
    const contents = await fs.readFile(file, 'utf8');
    console.log(contents);
  }

Example 3: async await in forloops

// Series loop
async (items) => {
  for (let i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
  	
    // for loop will wait for promise to resolve
    const result = await db.get(items[i]);
    console.log(result);
  }
}

// Parallel loop
async (items) => {
  let promises = [];
  
  // all promises will be added to array in order
  for (let i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
    promises.push(db.get(items[i]));
  }
  
  // Promise.all will await all promises in the array to resolve
  // then it will itself resolve to an array of the results. 
  // results will be in order of the Promises passed, 
  // regardless of completion order
  
  const results = await Promise.all(promises);
  console.log(results);
}

Example 4: async foreach

async function asyncForEach(array, callback) {
  for (let index = 0; index < array.length; index++) {
    await callback(array[index], index, array);
  }
}

asyncForEach([1, 2, 3], async (num) => {
  await waitFor(50);
  console.log(num);
})
