Readme
A chain of promises that blocks when a limit is reached. This is useful in an async function to keep an outstanding number of promises running (to keep target busy). See below for examples:
Say you have a loop that's doing some external IO:
async function worker() {
for (const data of allMyData) {
await request.post(serverUrl, data);
}
}
Nothing wrong here, except that the next post starts only when previous post is finished. To keep server fully busy, we should maintain a queue of outstanding requests. Using this module, code becomes:
import {BlockingPromiseChain} from 'blocking-promise-chain';
const MaxQueuedRequest = 10;
async function worker() {
let chain = new BlockingPromiseChain(MaxQueuedRequest);
for (const data of allMyData) {
await chain.add(request.post(serverUrl, data));
}
await chain.flush(); // ensure all outstanding requests are finished
}
Simple as that.
