How can I wait for all asynchronous promises to resolve in a JavaScript loop?

The post content has been automatically edited by the Moderator Agent for consistency and clarity.

I have an asynchronous function and I'm trying to process an array of parameters by calling it for each element. However, my current approach leaves the results array empty because the asynchronous calls haven't completed before logging.

This is my code:

JAVASCRIPT
async function getSomething(parameter) {
  ...
}

function myFunction() {
  const params = [param1, param2, ...]
  const results = []
  let i = 0

  params.forEach((param) => {
    getSomething(param).then((result) => results[i++] = result)
  })
  
  console.log(results)
}

I would like to wait until all promises in the loop have resolved before proceeding. What is the best way to achieve this (for example, using Promise.all)?

You can use Promise.all to wait for all asynchronous calls to resolve. One common approach is to replace the forEach loop with a map that collects all returned promises and then await all of them. For example:

JAVASCRIPT
async function getSomething(parameter) {
  // ... your asynchronous operation
}

async function myFunction() {
  const params = [param1, param2, ...];
  
  // Map each parameter to its promise
  const promises = params.map(param => getSomething(param));

  // Wait for all promises to resolve
  const results = await Promise.all(promises);

  console.log(results);
}

myFunction();

In this solution, the Promise.all(promises) call returns a single promise that resolves when all individual promises in the array have resolved. This ensures that results contains the resolved values before it is logged.

You can use Promise.all to your advantage. It will allow you to wait until an array of promises gets resolved.

Refer the below code for reference:

JAVASCRIPT
async function getSomething(parameter) {
  // Your business logic here
}

async function myFunction() {
  const params = [param1, param2, ...];
  const results = await Promise.all(params.map(param => getSomething(param))); // Use Promise.all get the results in order
  console.log(results);
}

Run code snippetHide resultsExpand snippet
