JavaScript Function Queue

Question

I have a ton of functions that need to run in succession, but not before the other has completed. What I need is a way to queue these functions to run only after the previou

Answer 1

You don't need all that machinery, just put your functions in an array. Then you can loop over them.

var runThese = [
    Function1,
    Function2, 
    Function3,
    Function4,
    Function5
];

JavaScript is single-threaded so you're guaranteed one finishes before the next starts.

for (var i = 0; i < runThese.length; i++) {
    runThese[i]();
}

Or since your functions have deterministic names, you could avoid the array altogether:

for (var i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {
    window["Function" + String(i)]();
}
