Clean way to wait for first true returned by Promise

Question

I\'m currently working on something where I fire out three promises in an array. At the moment it looks something like this

var a = await Promise.all([Promis         


        

Answer 1

Advancing off of str's answer I would like to add the ability to provide a callback so this works on more than true/false Promises.

Adding a callback will allow to test the result of any Promise, and return the promise that successfully matches the callback filter (which should return a true/false value).

Promise.until = function(callback, ...promises) {
  return new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
    promises.forEach(promise =>
      promise.then(val => callback(val) === true && resolve(val))
    )
  })
}

// Create some functions that resolve true/false
function Promise1() {return new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(()=> resolve(false), 1000))}
function Promise2() {return new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(()=> resolve(true), 3000))}
function Promise3() {return new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(()=> resolve(false), 1000))}

// Create som functions that resolve objects
function Promise4() {return new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(()=> resolve({a:1}), 1000))}
function Promise5() {return new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(()=> resolve({a:2}), 3000))}
function Promise6() {return new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(()=> resolve({a:123}), 1000))}

// Create some functions that resolve strings
function Promise7() {return new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(()=> resolve('Brass'), 1000))}
function Promise8() {return new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(()=> resolve('Monkey'), 500))}
function Promise9() {return new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(()=> resolve(['Brass', 'Monkey']), 100))}

// Once one resolves `true` we will catch it
Promise.until(result => result === true, Promise1(), Promise2(), Promise3())
  .then(result => console.log(result));

// Once one resolves where `a` equals 123, we will catch it
Promise.until(result => result.a === 123, Promise4(), Promise5(), Promise6())
  .then(result => console.log(result));
  
// Once one resolves where `a` equals 123, we will catch it
Promise.until(result => result === 'Monkey', Promise7(), Promise8(), Promise9())
  .then(result => console.log(result));
