waitgroup

A tiny version of Golang’s WaitGroup for Deno with promises and zero dependencies outside of std.

import { WaitGroup } from "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jpwilliams/waitgroup-deno/v1.0.0/mod.ts";

const wg = new WaitGroup()

const urls = [
    'http://www.golang.org/',
    'http://www.google.com/',
    'http://www.somestupidname.com/'
]

urls.forEach((url) => {
    // Increment the WaitGroup counter
    wg.add(1)
    // Fetch the URL
    fetch(url).then(() => {
        // Decrement the counter when the GET is complete
        wg.done()
    })
})

// Wait for all HTTP fetches to complete
await wg.wait()

For most applications, using built-ins like Promise.all will work perfectly, but sometimes this can be a really nice abstraction if the promises you have to keep track of are pretty spread out.

See jpwilliams/waitgroup for a Node.js version.
