a collection of promises that can be further chained with a sequence of "then" functions. once a certain promise in the collection is completed (i.e. goes through all of the chained then functions), then it gets deleted from this collection.

Example

const promise_queue = new ChainedPromiseQueue([
[(value: string) => value.toUpperCase()],
[(value: string) => "Result: " + value],
[(value: string) => new Promise((resolve) => {setTimeout(() => {resolve(value)}, 1000)})],
[(value: string) => console.log(value)],
])
// push a new promise into the collection, which will be processed through the defined sequence of chained actions.
promise_queue.push(
new Promise((resolve) => resolve("hello")),
)
// the promise will go through the action chain: [toUpperCase, "Result: " + value, 1000ms delay, console.log(value)]
// console output: "Result: HELLO" after 1000ms

Type declaration

  • Optional Readonly [unscopables]?: boolean

    Is an object whose properties have the value 'true' when they will be absent when used in a 'with' statement.

  • Optional length?: boolean

    Gets or sets the length of the array. This is a number one higher than the highest index in the array.

[species]: ArrayConstructor
length: number

Gets or sets the length of the array. This is a number one higher than the highest index in the array.

chain: [then0?: [onfulfilled: ((value) => any), onrejected?: ((reason) => void | PromiseLike<any>)], ...[onfulfilled: ((value) => any), onrejected?: ((reason) => void | PromiseLike<any>)][]] = []

the chain of the "then" functions to run each newly pushed promise through.
you may dynamically modify this sequence so that all newly pushed promises will have to go through a different set of "then" functions.
do note that old (already existing) promises will not be affected by the modified chain of "then" functions. they'll stick to their original sequence of thens because that gets decided during the moment when a promise is pushed into this collection.

pending: Promise<any>[] = []

an array of promises consisting of all the final "then" calls, after which (when fulfilled) the promise would be shortly deleted since it will no longer be pending. the array indexes of this.pending line up with this, in the sense that this.pending[i] = this[i].then(this.chain.at(0))...then(this.chain.at(-1)). once a promise inside of pending is fulfilled, it will be shortly deleted (via splicing) from pending, and its originating Promise which was pushed into this collection will also get removed.
(the removal is done by the private del method)

declare const do_actions: ChainedPromiseQueue<string>
const chain_of_actions = do_actions.chain
const my_promise = new Promise<string>((resolve, reject) => {
//do async stuff
})
do_actions.push(my_promise)
let index = do_actions.indexOf(my_promise) // === do_actions.length - 1
// the following are functionally/structurally equivalent:
do_actions.pending[index] == do_actions[index]
.then(chain_of_actions[0])
.then(chain_of_actions[1])
// ... lots of thens
.then(chain_of_actions[chain_of_actions.length - 1])

          • currentValue: Promise<T>
          • currentIndex: number
          • array: Promise<T>[]

          Returns Promise<T>

    • initialValue: Promise<T>

    Returns Promise<T>

  • Calls the specified callback function for all the elements in an array. The return value of the callback function is the accumulated result, and is provided as an argument in the next call to the callback function.

    Type Parameters

    • U

    Parameters

    • callbackfn: ((previousValue, currentValue, currentIndex, array) => U)

      A function that accepts up to four arguments. The reduce method calls the callbackfn function one time for each element in the array.

        • (previousValue, currentValue, currentIndex, array): U
        • Parameters

          • previousValue: U
          • currentValue: Promise<T>
          • currentIndex: number
          • array: Promise<T>[]

          Returns U

    • initialValue: U

      If initialValue is specified, it is used as the initial value to start the accumulation. The first call to the callbackfn function provides this value as an argument instead of an array value.

    Returns U

  • Calls the specified callback function for all the elements in an array, in descending order. The return value of the callback function is the accumulated result, and is provided as an argument in the next call to the callback function.

    Parameters

    • callbackfn: ((previousValue, currentValue, currentIndex, array) => Promise<T>)

      A function that accepts up to four arguments. The reduceRight method calls the callbackfn function one time for each element in the array.

        • (previousValue, currentValue, currentIndex, array): Promise<T>
        • Parameters

          • previousValue: Promise<T>
          • currentValue: Promise<T>
          • currentIndex: number
          • array: Promise<T>[]

          Returns Promise<T>

    Returns Promise<T>

  • Parameters

    • callbackfn: ((previousValue, currentValue, currentIndex, array) => Promise<T>)
        • (previousValue, currentValue, currentIndex, array): Promise<T>
        • Parameters

          • previousValue: Promise<T>
          • currentValue: Promise<T>
          • currentIndex: number
          • array: Promise<T>[]

          Returns Promise<T>

    • initialValue: Promise<T>

    Returns Promise<T>

  • Calls the specified callback function for all the elements in an array, in descending order. The return value of the callback function is the accumulated result, and is provided as an argument in the next call to the callback function.

    Type Parameters

    • U

    Parameters

    • callbackfn: ((previousValue, currentValue, currentIndex, array) => U)

      A function that accepts up to four arguments. The reduceRight method calls the callbackfn function one time for each element in the array.

        • (previousValue, currentValue, currentIndex, array): U
        • Parameters

          • previousValue: U
          • currentValue: Promise<T>
          • currentIndex: number
          • array: Promise<T>[]

          Returns U

    • initialValue: U

      If initialValue is specified, it is used as the initial value to start the accumulation. The first call to the callbackfn function provides this value as an argument instead of an array value.

    Returns U

  • Parameters

    • arg: any

    Returns arg is any[]

  • delete a certain promise that has been chained with the "then" functions.

    Parameters

    • completed_pending_promise: Promise<T>

      the promise to be deleted from pending and this collection of promises

    Returns boolean

    true if the pending promise was found and deleted, else false will be returned
