Asynchronously reading and caching multiple files in nodejs

Question

I have an array which keeps URL of several files. For example:

var files = [\'1.html\', \'2.html\', \'3.html\'];

I need to read them asynch

Answer 1

The existing answer didn't work for me. I did find an NPM package which did the job: https://www.npmjs.com/package/read-multiple-files. After npm install read-multiple-files at the command line, here's the code I used:

var files = ['1.html', '2.html', '3.html'];

console.log("\n");

readMultipleFiles(files, 'utf8', function(err, inputFiles) {
  if(err) {
    console.log("Read Error: " + err);
  }

  fileOne = inputFiles[0];
  fileTwo = inputFiles[1];
  ...

  console.log(fileOne);
  console.log(fileTwo);

});
