使用jquery推迟而不是回调

Question

I'm trying to resolve an array of task (array is dynamic), these tasks are async and I need to make sure previous task success before the next ask. so far this is what I have:

var tasks = ['cleaning', 'washing', 'shopping'];

var index = 0;

while(index < tasks.length) {
  // success => next task
  // fail => exit
  index++;
}

function doTask(name) {
    var d = $.Deferred();
    console.log('doing ' + name);
    setTimeout(function() {
        d.resolve(name + ' is done');
    }, 1000); 
    return d.promise();
}

// my old method
function doTask(name, callback) {
    console.log('doing ' + name);
    setTimeout(function() {
        callback(name + ' is done');
    }, 1000);
}

so the output would be

// doing cleaning
// cleaning is done
// doing washing
// washing is done
// doing shopping
// shopping is done

thanks for the help!

Answer 1

var tasks = ['cleaning', 'washing', 'shopping'];
var index = 0;

function asyncTasks(tasks_length){
 $.when(doTask(tasks[index])).then(function(res){
   console.dir(res);
   index++;
   if(index<tasks_length){
     asyncTasks(tasks_length);
   } else {return;}
 }, function(){return;})
}

function doTask(name) {
    var d = $.Deferred();
    console.log('doing ' + name);
    setTimeout(function() {
        d.resolve(name + ' is done');
    }, 1000); 
    return d.promise;
}

asyncTasks(tasks.length);

Smth like this, not sure in syntax, usially work with angular promises

In your doTask() function replace code with d.promise() for getting promise object, Code below will execute only in all previous promises are done.

var tasks = ['cleaning', 'washing', 'shopping'];

function doTask(name) {
    var d = $.Deferred();
    console.log('doing ' + name);
    setTimeout(function() {
        d.resolve(name + ' is done');
    }, 1000); 
    return d.promise();
}

var d1 =doTask(tasks[0]);
var d2 =doTask(tasks[1]);
var d3 =doTask(tasks[2]);


$.when( d1, d2,d3 ).done(function (w1,w2,w3) {
   console.log(w1,w2,w3);
   // Success call back
});

Output:

doing cleaning 
doing washing
doing shopping

 cleaning is done
 washing is done
 shopping is done
