Francesco Mari commented on SLING-3413:
---------------------------------------
In my opinion is not a common idiom in JavaScript to terminate the iteration
earlier. It is better to use function composition to filter or map input lists
and do something once you have transformed the input data in what you really
need. As an alternative, you can use the chain pattern instead of function
composition.
In example:
{code}
resource.forEachChild(print) // print each children
resource.filterChildren(hasNameProperty).forEachChild(print) // print only
children having a name property
resource.mapChildren(getNameProperty).toArray() // create an array of strings,
the name properties of the child nodes
{code}
In this case {{print}}, {{hasNameProperty}} and {{getNameProperty}} are all
filtering and mapping functions.
> add support for getName() and listChildren() to JS Resource API

> The JS API used to wrap Resources doesn't support getting a list of children
> or the resource's name as these methods on the Resource interface post-date
> the last update to the JS API. The JS API should be brought up to date.
