# p-each-series

> Iterate over promises serially

Useful as a side-effect iterator. Prefer [`p-map`](https://github.com/sindresorhus/p-map) if you don't need side-effects, as it's concurrent.

## Install

```
$ npm install p-each-series
```

## Usage

```js
import pEachSeries from 'p-each-series';

const keywords = [
getTopKeyword(), //=> Promise
'rainbow',
'pony'
];

const iterator = async element => saveToDiskPromise(element);

console.log(await pEachSeries(keywords, iterator));
//=> ['unicorn', 'rainbow', 'pony']
```

## API

### pEachSeries(input, iterator)

Returns a `Promise` that is fulfilled when all promises in `input` and ones returned from `iterator` are fulfilled, or rejects if any of the promises reject. The fulfillment value is the original `input`.

#### input

Type: `Iterable`

Iterated over serially in the `iterator` function.

#### iterator(element, index)

Type: `Function`

Return value is ignored unless it's `Promise`, then it's awaited before continuing with the next iteration.

### pEachSeries.stop

Stop iterating through items by returning `pEachSeries.stop` from the iterator function.

```js
import pEachSeries from 'p-each-series';

// Logs `a` and `b`.
const result = await pEachSeries(['a', 'b', 'c'], value => {
console.log(value);

if (value === 'b') {
return pEachSeries.stop;
}
});

console.log(result);
//=> ['a', 'b', 'c']
```
