array-each

What is array-each?

The array-each npm package provides a simple utility for iterating over arrays and executing a function for each element. It is designed to be lightweight and efficient, making it suitable for scenarios where you need to perform operations on each item in an array.

What are array-each's main functionalities?

Basic Iteration

This feature allows you to iterate over each element in an array and execute a callback function. The callback receives the current value, the index, and the original array.

const each = require('array-each');
const array = [1, 2, 3, 4];
each(array, function(value, index, array) {
  console.log('Value:', value, 'Index:', index);
});

Early Exit

This feature allows you to exit the iteration early by returning `false` from the callback function. This can be useful for performance optimization when you find the element you are looking for.

const each = require('array-each');
const array = [1, 2, 3, 4];
each(array, function(value, index, array) {
  if (value === 3) return false; // Exit early
  console.log('Value:', value, 'Index:', index);
});

Other packages similar to array-each

lodash

Lodash is a modern JavaScript utility library delivering modularity, performance, and extras. It provides a `_.forEach` method that offers similar functionality to array-each but with additional features and support for objects as well as arrays.

async

The async package provides higher-order functions and common patterns for asynchronous code. It includes an `async.each` method that allows for asynchronous iteration over arrays, which is useful for handling I/O-bound operations.

underscore

Underscore is a JavaScript library that provides a whole mess of useful functional programming helpers without extending any built-in objects. It includes an `_.each` method that works similarly to array-each but also supports objects.

README

array-each

Loop over each item in an array and call the given function on every element.

Install

Install with npm:

$ npm install --save array-each

Usage

each

Loop over each item in an array and call the given function on every element.

Params

• array {Array}
• fn {Function}
• thisArg {Object}: (optional) pass a thisArg to be used as the context in which to call the function.
• returns {undefined}

Example

each(['a', 'b', 'c'], function(ele) {
  return ele + ele;
});
//=> ['aa', 'bb', 'cc']

each(['a', 'b', 'c'], function(ele, i) {
  return i + ele;
});
//=> ['0a', '1b', '2c']
