Asynchronous for cycle in JavaScript

Question

I need a loop that waits for an async call before continuing. Something like:

for ( /* ... */ ) {

  someFunction(param1, praram2, function(result) {

    //         


        

Answer 1

I simplified this:

FUNCTION:

var asyncLoop = function(o){
    var i=-1;

    var loop = function(){
        i++;
        if(i==o.length){o.callback(); return;}
        o.functionToLoop(loop, i);
    } 
    loop();//init
}

USAGE:

asyncLoop({
    length : 5,
    functionToLoop : function(loop, i){
        setTimeout(function(){
            document.write('Iteration ' + i + ' <br>');
            loop();
        },1000);
    },
    callback : function(){
        document.write('All done!');
    }    
});
