async/await doesn't seem to work with firebase forEach. This code runs console.log for the first child of the snapshot and then just hangs. Is this a bug or am I missing something?
main()
async function main() {
const snap = await root.ref('somepath')
.once('value')
snap.forEach(async val => {
await console.log(val.key)
})
}
I use something like this:
import * as admin from "firebase-admin";
type FunctionOnDataSnapshot = (childSnapshot: admin.database.DataSnapshot) => Promise<any>;
export const asyncForEach = async (dataSnapshot: admin.database.DataSnapshot, childFunction: FunctionOnDataSnapshot) => {
const toWait = [];
dataSnapshot.forEach(childSnapshot => {
toWait.push(childFunction((childSnapshot)));
});
await Promise.all(toWait);
};
