Javascript - Callback after all nested forEach loops are done

Using forEachthe second argument index, you can check if all loops are completed each time you run the innermost loop.

So just add a few lines to your code and you will get:

const scanFiles = function(accounts, cb) {
    let dirs = ['pending', 'done', 'failed'];
    let jobs = [];

    accounts.forEach(function(account, accIndex) {
        dirs.forEach(function(dir, dirIndex) {
            fs.readdir(account + '/' + dir, function(err, files) {
                files.forEach(function(file, fileIndex) {
                    //do something
                    //add file to jobs array
                    jobs.push(file);

                    // Check whether each loop is on its last iteration
                    const filesDone = fileIndex >= files.length - 1;
                    const dirsDone = dirIndex >= dirs.length - 1;
                    const accsDone = accIndex >= accounts.length - 1;

                    // all three need to be true before we can run the callback
                    if (filesDone && dirsDone && accsDone) {
                        cb(jobs);
                    }
                });
            });
        });
    });
}
