This problem is related to 29. implement async helper - sequence()
.
You are asked to implement an async function helper, parallel()
which works like Promise.all()
. Different from sequence()
, the async function doesn't wait for each other, rather they are all triggered together.
All async functions have following interface
type Callback = (error: Error, data: any) => voidtype AsyncFunc = ( callback: Callback, data: any) => void
Your parallel()
should accept AsyncFunc array, and return a new function which triggers its own callback when all async functions are done or an error occurs.
Suppose we have an 3 async functions
const async1 = (callback) => { callback(undefined, 1)}const async2 = (callback) => { callback(undefined, 2)}const async3 = (callback) => { callback(undefined, 3)}
Your parallel()
should be able to accomplish this
const all = parallel( [ async1, async2, async3 ])all((error, data) => { console.log(data) // [1, 2, 3]}, 1)
When error occurs, only first error is passed down to the last. Later errors or data are ignored.
