Here is a solution using for of and continue instead of forEach:
let elementsCollection = SomeElements.find();
for (let el of elementsCollection) {
// continue will exit out of the current
// iteration and continue on to the next
if (!el.shouldBeProcessed){
continue;
}
doSomeLengthyOperation();
});
This may be a bit more useful if you need to use asynchronous functions inside your loop which do not work inside forEach. For example:
(async fuction(){
for (let el of elementsCollection) {
if (!el.shouldBeProcessed){
continue;
}
let res;
try {
res = await doSomeLengthyAsyncOperation();
} catch (err) {
return Promise.reject(err)
}
});
})()
