keep your pants on, javascript
npm install slow
Run a function in parallel, without going too fast.
Give it `an array`, and `a function` that returns a Promise.
then it tells you when it's done.
useful for courteous use of a web-service, or avoiding a blown-stack.
```js
const slow = require('slow')
const randomWait = i => {
return new Promise(resolve => {
setTimeout(() => resolve(i), Math.random() * 3000)
})
}
slow.walk([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6], randomWait).then(res => {
console.log('done!')
console.log(res) //[1,2,3,4,5,6]
})
```
or, if you prefer, as `async/await`
```js
;(async () => {
let res = await slow.walk(['larry', 'curly', 'moe'], randomWait)
// ['larry', 'curly', 'moe']
})()
```
results are always in order.
one bad async call will not throw the whole operation, either.
