My title is kind of gross. Let me elaborate:
I'm using node 7.2.0 and Electron. I have an array of Song objects with a key called filepath. I need to do the following for each song, in order:
- Get their ID3 metadata
- Send artist and track info to API
- Apply correct track information from API to each object
- Sort into albums
- Display results
So what I need to know is this: what is the best way to chain aync functions, and how can I implement a callback when the chain completes.
Should I run each song through all the steps as soon as I can? Should I wait until all songs are done step 1, then move to step 2, then step 3 when all are finished step 2, etc.
Secondly, what's the accepted way to run a callback when all the above steps (probably in a forEach loop) finish? Should I use the node async library or promises? I've been reading that I should wrap each singular function in a promise then use Promise.all() to run a callback, but I'm not sure if that's up to date.
