Filtering an array with a function that returns a promise

Question

Given

let arr = [1,2,3];

function filter(num) {
  return new Promise((res, rej) => {
    setTimeout(() => {
      if( num === 3 ) {
        res(num);
         


        

Answer 1

Here's a shorter version of @pie6k's Typescript version:

async function filter(arr: T[], callback: (val: T) => Promise) {
  const fail = Symbol()
  const result = (await Promise.all(arr.map(async item => (await callback(item)) ? item : fail))).filter(i => i !== fail)
  return result as T[] // the "fail" entries are all filtered out so this is OK
}
