## resolveList() function

Resolve entries of an array into a new array with the same indexes. If one or more entries of the source array are resolved to a promise by the `resolver` function, this method returns a promise which will be resolved to the new array with fully resolved entries.

<b>Signature:</b>

```typescript
export declare function resolveList<T, V>(list: T[], resolver: (val: T, index: number, list: T[]) => ValueOrPromise<V>): ValueOrPromise<V[]>;
```

## Parameters

|  Parameter | Type | Description |
|  --- | --- | --- |
|  list | <code>T[]</code> | The original array containing the source entries |
|  resolver | <code>(val: T, index: number, list: T[]) =&gt; ValueOrPromise&lt;V&gt;</code> | A function resolves an entry to a value or promise. It will be invoked with the property value, the property index, and the source array. |

<b>Returns:</b>

`ValueOrPromise<V[]>`

## Example

- Example 1: resolve all entries synchronously

```ts
const result = resolveList(['a', 'b'], v => v.toUpperCase());

```
The `result` will be `['A', 'B']`<!-- -->.

- Example 2: resolve one or more entries asynchronously

```ts
const result = resolveList(['a', 'b'], v =>
  Promise.resolve(v.toUpperCase()),
);

```
The `result` will be a promise of `['A', 'B']`<!-- -->.
