That depends on what you want it to do. This seems to execute each item
serially. You can do them all parallel and abort on the first error like
this:
function asyncForEach(array, worker, callback) {
var len = array.length;
var results = new Array(l);
if (!len) return callback(null, results);
var left = len;
for (var i = 0; i < len; i++) {
start(i);
}
function start(i) {
worker(array[i], i, array, function (err, result) {
if (err) return callback(err);
results[i] = result;
if (!--left) callback(null, results);
});
}
}
