## What is this?

A tiny package that works just like `forEach`, with one small difference.

## When should I use this?

You can use this if for some weird reason—like I did—you have to sometimes
skip a few places ahead or backwards when moving through an array.

## Install

This package is [ESM only][esm].
In Node.js (version 14.14+, 16.0+), install with [npm][]:

```sh
npm install array-iterate
```

In Deno with [`esm.sh`][esmsh]:

```js
import {arrayIterate} from 'https://esm.sh/array-iterate@2'
```

In browsers with [`esm.sh`][esmsh]:

```html

import {arrayIterate} from 'https://esm.sh/array-iterate@2?bundle'

```

## Use

```js
import {arrayIterate} from 'array-iterate'

let first = true

arrayIterate(
[1, 2, 3, 4],
function (value, index, values){
console.log(this, value, index, values)

// Repeat once.
if (first && index + 1 === values.length) {
first = false
return 0
}
},
{hello: 'world'}
)
```

Yields:

```js
{hello: 'world'}, 1, 0, [1, 2, 3, 4]
{hello: 'world'}, 2, 1, [1, 2, 3, 4]
{hello: 'world'}, 3, 2, [1, 2, 3, 4]
{hello: 'world'}, 4, 3, [1, 2, 3, 4]
{hello: 'world'}, 1, 0, [1, 2, 3, 4]
{hello: 'world'}, 2, 1, [1, 2, 3, 4]
{hello: 'world'}, 3, 2, [1, 2, 3, 4]
{hello: 'world'}, 4, 3, [1, 2, 3, 4]
```

## API

This package exports the identifier `arrayIterate`.
There is no default export.

### `arrayIterate(values, callbackFn[, thisArg])`

Perform the specified action for each element in an array (just like
[`Array#forEach()`][foreach]).
When `callbackFn` returns a `number`, moves to the element at that index
next.

###### Parameters

* `values` (`Array<*>`)
— values to iterate over
* `callbackFn` (`Function`)
— function called for each element, can return the `index` to move to next
* `thisArg` (`*`, optional)
— optional object passed as `this` in `callbackFn`

###### Returns

`undefined`.

#### `function callbackFn(value, index, values)`

Callback given to `iterate`.

###### Parameters

* `this` (`*`)
— context object when given as `thisArg` to `arrayIterate` or `undefined`
* `value` (`*`)
— element in array
* `index` (`number`)
— index of `value` in `values`
* `values` (`Array.<*>`)
— list

###### Returns

The optional `index` to move to next (`number` or `undefined`)

## Types

This package is fully typed with [TypeScript][].
It exports the additional type `CallbackFn`.

## Compatibility

This package is at least compatible with all maintained versions of Node.js.
As of now, that is Node.js 14.14+ and 16.0+.
It also works in Deno and modern browsers.

## Security

This package is safe, assuming that you don’t create an infinite loop
by keeping on repeating.
