run-series is a lightweight and efficient utility for executing an array of asynchronous functions (tasks) in sequential order. Each function completes before the next one is initiated. It provides a simple and clean way to manage dependencies between asynchronous operations, ensuring predictable execution flow. Error handling is streamlined, as execution halts upon encountering an error, passing the error to a final callback. Ideal for scenarios where task order is crucial and dependencies exist.
The npm package run-series had an initial burst of releases in April 2014, with 8 versions published. Releases trickled out sporadically until October 2020. Since then, there have been no new versions published. Overall, the package appears to be inactive.
Run-series npm package downloads show healthy growth from March 2024 to August 2025, peaking in July 2025 at 6.7 million. September 2025 downloads are incomplete but significantly lower, reflecting the partial month. Overall, the package maintains strong and consistent usage.
