co-for-loop

Function that loop over a set of values asynchronous, you can use arrays, object and strings to do a async loop.

co_for_loop(iterator,promiseGenerator)=>Promise

The promise will be resolved when iterate over all iterator. Iterator could be a array , object and string. The function receive promiseGenerator the value stored into iterator, index and array self if is array, the keys,values and object self if is a object. The return object of promiseGenerator have to be a promise, if this promise is resolved with a true boolean value the loop is stopped. The case when the iterator is a string has to be like 'min:increment:max' where the loop is init in min value and is increment until max value, if the increment value is missing ('min:max')takes the default value 1.
