async-mini

Common patterns for asynchronous code, minimalistic version (async-mini)

If you only need async.series() and async.parallel() in the most simplest, stable and predictable form, then this module is for you.

Usage

npm install async-mini

var async = require('async-mini');

var funcs = [
	function(cb) {
		cb(null, 'done 1');
	},
	function(cb) {
		cb(null, 'done 2');
	}
];

var funcs2 = {
	one: function(cb) {
		cb(null, 'done 1');
	},
	two: function(cb) {
		cb(null, 'done 2');
	}
};

var cb = function(err, res) {
	console.log(arguments);
};

async.series(funcs, cb);

async.parallel(funcs, cb);

async.parallel(funcs2, cb);

The above code will print:

{ '0': null, '1': [ 'done 1', 'done 2' ] }
{ '0': null, '1': { '0': 'done 1', '1': 'done 2' } }
{ '0': null, '1': { one: 'done 1', two: 'done 2' } }

Of course, the above two .parallel() calls should themselves be inside a .series() call, but this is omitted for brevity of the exmaple.
