|
const input = [
|
19

limit(() => fetchSomething('foo')),
|
20
|
limit(() => fetchSomething('bar')),
|
21

limit(() => doSomething())
|
22
|
];
|
23
|
|
24
|
(async () => {
|
25
|
// Only one promise is run at once
|
26
|
const result = await Promise.all(input);

## API
|
32
|
|
33
|
### pLimit(concurrency)
|
34
|
|
35
|
Returns a `limit` function.
|
36
|
|
37
|
#### concurrency
|
38
|
|
39
|
Type: `number`\
|
40
|
Minimum: `1`\
|
41
|
Default: `Infinity`
|
42
|
|
43
|
Concurrency limit.
|
44
|
|
45
|
### limit(fn, ...args)
|
46
|
|
47
|
Returns the promise returned by calling `fn(...args)`.
|
48
|
|
49
|
#### fn
|
50
|
|
51
|
Type: `Function`
|
52
|
|
53
|
Promise-returning/async function.
|
54
|
|
55
|
#### args
|
56
|
|
57
|
Any arguments to pass through to `fn`.
|
58
|
|
59
|
Support for passing arguments on to the `fn` is provided in order to be able to avoid creating unnecessary closures. You probably don't need this optimization unless you're pushing a *lot* of functions.
|
60
|
|
61
|
### limit.activeCount
|
62
|
|
63
|
The number of promises that are currently running.
|
64
|
|
65
|
### limit.pendingCount
|
66
|
|
67
|
The number of promises that are waiting to run (i.e. their internal `fn` was not called yet).
|
68
|
|
69
|
### limit.clearQueue()
|
70
|
|
71
|
Discard pending promises that are waiting to run.
|
72
|
|
73
|
This might be useful if you want to teardown the queue at the end of your program's lifecycle or discard any function calls referencing an intermediary state of your app.
|
74
|
|
75
|
Note: This does not cancel promises that are already running.

## FAQ
|
78
|
|
79
|
### How is this different from the [`p-queue`](https://github.com/sindresorhus/p-queue) package?
|
80
|
|
81
|
This package is only about limiting the number of concurrent executions, while `p-queue` is a fully featured queue implementation with lots of different options, introspection, and ability to pause the queue.
