Array#forEach() but it’s possible to define where to move to next.

Contents

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. In Node.js (version 12.20+, 14.14+, or 16.0+), install with npm:

npm install array-iterate

In Deno with Skypack:

import {arrayIterate} from 'https://cdn.skypack.dev/array-iterate@2?dts'

In browsers with Skypack:

<script type="module">
  import {arrayIterate} from 'https://cdn.skypack.dev/array-iterate@2?min'
</script>

Use

import {arrayIterate} from 'array-iterate'

let first = true

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

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

Yields:

{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 following identifiers: arrayIterate. There is no default export.

arrayIterate(values, callbackFn[, thisArg])

Perform the specified action for each element in an array (just like Array#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 assigned 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

number or undefined — the index to move to next.

Types

This package is fully typed with TypeScript. There is also a CallbackFn type export that represents the callback function.

Compatibility

This package is at least compatible with all maintained versions of Node.js. As of now, that is Node.js 12.20+, 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.
