## Usage

```javascript
var mapValuesAsync = require( '@stdlib/utils/async/map-values' );
```

#### mapValuesAsync( obj, \[options,] transform, done )

Map values from one `object` to a new `object` having the same keys.

```javascript
function transform( value, next ) {
    setTimeout( onTimeout, value );
    function onTimeout() {
        next( null, value*2 );
    }
}

function done( error, out ) {
    if ( error ) {
        throw error;
    }
    console.log( out );
    // => { 'a': 2, 'b': 4 }
}

var obj = {
    'a': 1,
    'b': 2
};

mapValuesAsync( obj, transform, done );
```

The `next` callback accepts two arguments: `error` and `value`. The second argument to the `next` callback is the transformed property value. If a `transform` function calls the `next` callback with a truthy error argument, the function stops processing any additional own properties and calls the `done` callback for error processing.

```javascript
function transform( value, key, next ) {
    setTimeout( onTimeout, value );
    function onTimeout() {
        if ( key === 'a' ) {
            return next( new Error( 'beep' ) );
        }
        next( null, value );
    }
}

function done( error ) {
    if ( error ) {
        console.error( error.message );
        // => 'beep'
    }
}

var obj = {
    'a': 1,
    'b': 2
};

mapValuesAsync( obj, transform, done );
```

The function accepts the following `options`:

-   `limit`: the maximum number of pending invocations at any one time. Default: `infinity`.
-   `series`: `boolean` indicating whether to sequentially invoke the `transform` function for each own property. If `true`, the function sets `options.limit=1`. Default: `false`.
-   `thisArg`: the execution context for `fcn`.

By default, all properties are processed concurrently, which means that the function does **not** guarantee completion order. To process each property sequentially, set the `series` option to `true`.

```javascript
function transform( value, next ) {
    setTimeout( onTimeout, value );
    function onTimeout() {
        next( null, 'beep:'+value );
    }
}

function done( error, out ) {
    if ( error ) {
        throw error;
    }
    console.log( out );
    // => { 'a': 'beep:1', 'b': 'beep:2' }
}

var obj = {
    'a': 1,
    'b': 2
};

var opts = {
    'series': true
};

mapValuesAsync( obj, opts, transform, done );
```

To limit the maximum number of pending function invocations, set the `limit` option.

```javascript
function transform( value, next ) {
    setTimeout( onTimeout, value );
    function onTimeout() {
        next( null, 'beep:'+value );
    }
}

function done( error, out ) {
    if ( error ) {
        throw error;
    }
    console.log( out );
    // => { 'a': 'beep:1', 'b': 'beep:2', 'c': 'beep:3' }
}

var obj = {
    'a': 1,
    'b': 2,
    'c': 3
};

var opts = {
    'limit': 2
};

mapValuesAsync( obj, opts, transform, done );
```

To set the execution context of the `transform` function, set the `thisArg` option.

```javascript
function transform( value, next ) {
    this.count += 1;
    setTimeout( onTimeout, value );
    function onTimeout() {
        next( null, 'beep:'+value );
    }
}

var obj = {
    'a': 1,
    'b': 2,
    'c': 3
};

var context = {
    'count': 0
};

var opts = {
    'thisArg': context
};

mapValuesAsync( obj, opts, transform, done );

function done( error, out ) {
    if ( error ) {
        throw error;
    }
    console.log( out );
    // => { 'a': 'beep:1', 'b': 'beep:2', 'c': 'beep:3' }

    console.log( context.count );
    // => 3
}
```

When invoked, the `transform` function is provided a maximum of four arguments:

-   `value`: object value corresponding to `key`.
-   `key`: object key.
-   `obj`: source object.
-   `next`: a callback which should be called once the `transform` function has finished processing a property `value`.

The actual number of provided arguments depends on function `length`. If the `transform` function accepts two arguments, the `transform` function is provided `value` and `next`. If the `transform` function accepts three arguments, the `transform` function is provided `value`, `key`, and `next`. For every other `transform` function signature, the `transform` function is provided all four arguments.

```javascript
function transform( value, key, obj, next ) {
    console.log( 'obj: %s. %s: %d', JSON.stringify( obj ), key, value );
    setTimeout( onTimeout, value );
    function onTimeout() {
        next( null, key+':'+value );
    }
}

function done( error, out ) {
    if ( error ) {
        throw error;
    }
    console.log( out );
}

var obj = {
    'a': 1,
    'b': 2
};

mapValuesAsync( obj, transform, done );
/* => e.g.,
    obj: {"a": 1, "b": 2}. a: 1
    obj: {"a": 1, "b": 2}. b: 2
    { 'a': 'a:1', 'b': 'b:2' }
*/
```

#### mapValuesAsync.factory( \[options,] transform )

Returns a `function` which invokes a `transform` function once for each own property.

```javascript
function transform( value, next ) {
    setTimeout( onTimeout, value );
    function onTimeout() {
        next( null, 'beep:'+value );
    }
}

function done( error, out ) {
    if ( error ) {
        throw error;
    }
    console.log( out );
}

var f = mapValuesAsync.factory( transform );

var obj1 = {
    'a': 1,
    'b': 2
};

f( obj1, done );
// => { 'a': 'beep:1', 'b': 'beep:2' }

var obj2 = {
    'c': 3,
    'd': 4
};

f( obj2, done );
// => { 'c': 'beep:3', 'd': 'beep:4' }
```

The function accepts the same `options` as `mapValuesAsync()`.

## Notes

-   If a provided function calls the `next` callback with a truthy `error` argument, the function suspends execution and immediately calls the `done` callback for subsequent `error` handling.
-   If provided an empty `object`, the function calls the `done` callback with an empty `object`.
-   Key iteration order is **not** guaranteed, as `object` key enumeration is not specified according to the [ECMAScript specification][ecma-262-for-in]. In practice, however, most engines use insertion order to sort an `object`'s keys, thus allowing for iteration order.
-   Key insertion order is **not** guaranteed.
-   The function only maps values assigned to **own** properties. Hence, the function does **not** map values for inherited properties.
-   The function **shallow** copies key values.
-   **Neither** `mapValuesAsync` nor the function returned by the `factory` method **guarantee** asynchronous execution. To guarantee asynchrony, wrap the `done` callback in a function which either executes at the end of the current stack (e.g., `nextTick`) or during a subsequent turn of the event loop (e.g., `setImmediate`, `setTimeout`).

    console.log( out );
}

function getStats( file, next ) {
    stats( file, onStats );

    function onStats( error, data ) {
