neo-async 2.6.2

Neo-Async is a powerful JavaScript package that serves as a high-performance alternative to the traditional Async. Neo-Async offers a comprehensive feature set that almost entirely covers Async's functionality and is known to execute tasks at a faster speed. The implication is that it can be utilized as a drop-in replacement without causing disruption in the functionality of existing code. With a wide range of functions for handling collections, such as each, map, filter, and reduce amongst others, and control flow methods like parallel, series, waterfall, it effectively provides developers with great flexibility in managing asynchronous operations in JavaScript.

To use Neo-Async, you must first install it via npm by running npm install neo-async. This installs the Neo-Async package in your Node.js project. After installing Neo-Async, you can include it in your JavaScript file by adding var async = require('neo-async');. Then, you can call any of the functions of Neo-Async in your code. Here's an example use of the eachSeries function, which applies an iterator function to each item in a collection in series:

var async = require('neo-async');
var items = ['item1', 'item2', 'item3'];
var iteratorFunction = function(item, callback) {
    console.log(item);
    callback(null);
};
async.eachSeries(items, iteratorFunction, function(err) {
    if (err) console.log(err);
});

In this example, each item in the items list will be printed to the console one after another, not all at once. If an error occurs during any of the operations, it will be logged to the console.

The documentation for Neo-Async can be found at the Neo-Async JSDoc. The documentation provides detailed explanations and usage examples for all the methods and functions provided by the package. It allows developers to understand how to use these functions correctly to effectively manage asynchronous operations in their JavaScript code.
