Using async/await with a forEach loop
Are there any issues with using async/await in a forEach loop? I'm trying to loop through an array of files and await on the contents of each file.
import fs from 'fs-promise'
async function printFiles () {
const files = await getFilePaths() // Assume this works fine
files.forEach(async (file) => {
const contents = await fs.readFile(file, 'utf8')
console.log(contents)
})
}
printFiles()
This code does work, but could something go wrong with this? I had someone tell me that you're not supposed to use async/await in a higher-order function like this, so I just wanted to ask if there was any issue with this.
