atomiceach

atomiceach is a JavaScript library that provides a way to iterate over collections of data asynchronously. It allows developers to process items in an array or object one by one, with the ability to perform asynchronous operations within the iteration. This can be useful for tasks such as fetching data from multiple APIs, processing files, or performing database operations, where each operation might take some time to complete.

The library's primary function, also named atomiceach, takes a collection (like an array or object) and an asynchronous iterator function as arguments. The iterator function is called for each element in the collection, and it can return a Promise. atomiceach ensures that these Promises are resolved sequentially, meaning the next iteration will not start until the current one has finished. This sequential execution prevents overwhelming resources and helps manage the flow of asynchronous operations.

Key features of atomiceach include its ability to handle both synchronous and asynchronous iterator functions, although its main strength lies in the latter. It also supports pausing and resuming iteration, as well as breaking out of the loop early. The library aims to simplify the management of asynchronous loops, offering a cleaner alternative to complex Promise chaining or nested callbacks. It is designed to be lightweight and easy to integrate into existing JavaScript projects.
