Wait for a specified number of promises to be fulfilled

Useful when you need the fastest of multiple promises.

npm install p-some

Checks 4 websites and logs the 2 fastest.

import got from 'got';
import pSome from 'p-some';

const input = [
	got.head('github.com').then(() => 'github'),
	got.head('google.com').then(() => 'google'),
	got.head('twitter.com').then(() => 'twitter'),
	got.head('medium.com').then(() => 'medium')
];

const [first, second] = await pSome(input, {count: 2});

console.log(first, second);
//=> 'google twitter'

Returns a Promise that is fulfilled when count promises from input are fulfilled. The fulfilled value is an Array of the values from the input promises in the order they were fulfilled. If it becomes impossible to satisfy count, for example, too many promises rejected, it will reject with an AggregateError. The promise can be aborted using the signal option.

Type: Iterable<Promise | unknown>

An Iterable collection of promises/values to wait for.

Type: object

Required
Type: number
Minimum: 1

Number of promises from input that have to be fulfilled until the returned promise is fulfilled.

Type: Function

Receives the value resolved by the promise. Used to filter out values that don't satisfy a condition.

The filter function can return either a boolean directly or a Promise that resolves to a boolean.

Example with async filter:

import got from 'got';
import pSome from 'p-some';

const input = [
	got('api.github.com').then(response => response.body),
	got('api.twitter.com').then(response => response.body),
	got('api.reddit.com').then(response => response.body)
];

// Only include responses that contain certain data (async check)
const result = await pSome(input, {
	count: 2,
	async filter(response) {
		// Simulate async validation (e.g., database lookup)
		await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 10));
		return response.includes('api');
	}
});

Type: AbortSignal

AbortSignal to abort the operation.

Test whether all promises pass a testing function.

Returns a Promise that resolves to true only if every item makes testFunction resolve to true. Resolves to false if any item makes it resolve to false. Rejects if any input or testFunction throws or rejects.

import {pEvery} from 'p-some';

const result = await pEvery([
	Promise.resolve(2),
	Promise.resolve(4),
	Promise.resolve(6)
], value => value % 2 === 0);

console.log(result);
//=> true

Type: Iterable<Promise | unknown>

An Iterable collection of promises/values to test.

Type: Function

The function to test each promise with. Can be async.

Type: object

Type: number
Default: Infinity
Minimum: 1

Number of input items tested concurrently.

Type: AbortSignal

AbortSignal to abort the operation.

Exposed for instance checking.
