## resolveList() function

Resolve entries of an array into a new array with the same indexes. If one or more entries of the source array are resolved to a promise by the `resolver` function, this method returns a promise which will be resolved to the new array with fully resolved entries.

**Signature:**

```typescript
export declare function resolveList<T, V>(list: T[], resolver: (val: T, index: number, values: T[]) => ValueOrPromise<V>): ValueOrPromise<V[]>;
```

## Example

- Example 1: resolve all entries synchronously

```ts
const result = resolveList(['a', 'b'], v => v.toUpperCase());
```
The `result` will be `['A', 'B']`<!-- -->.

- Example 2: resolve one or more entries asynchronously

```ts
const result = resolveList(['a', 'b'], v =>
  Promise.resolve(v.toUpperCase()),
);
```
The `result` will be a promise of `['A', 'B']`<!-- -->.
