3.0.0 • Public • Published

Sequence

Creates an Asynchronous Stack which execute each enqueued method after the previous function calls the provided next(err, data [, ...]).

In many cases forEachAsync or forAllAsync will be a better alternative.

API

  • Sequence.create(defaultContext=null)
  • then(function callback(next, err, data [, ...]) {}, context) - add a callback onto the queue
    • begins or resumes the queue
    • passes the results of the previous function into the next
