# p-locate [](https://travis-ci.org/sindresorhus/p-locate)
> Get the first fulfilled promise that satisfies the provided testing function
Think of it like an async version of [`Array#find`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/find).
## Install
```
$ npm install p-locate
```
## Usage
Here we find the first file that exists on disk, in array order.
```js
const pathExists = require('path-exists');
const pLocate = require('p-locate');
const files = [
'unicorn.png',
'rainbow.png', // Only this one actually exists on disk
'pony.png'
];
(async () => {
const foundPath = await pLocate(files, file => pathExists(file));
console.log(foundPath);
//=> 'rainbow'
})();
```
*The above is just an example. Use [`locate-path`](https://github.com/sindresorhus/locate-path) if you need this.*
## API
### pLocate(input, tester, [options])
Returns a `Promise` that is fulfilled when `tester` resolves to `true` or the iterable is done, or rejects if any of the promises reject. The fulfilled value is the current iterable value or `undefined` if `tester` never resolved to `true`.
#### input
Type: `Iterable<Promise|any>`
#### tester(element)
Type: `Function`
Expected to return a `Promise<boolean>` or boolean.
#### options
Type: `Object`
##### concurrency
Type: `number`<br>
Default: `Infinity`<br>
Minimum: `1`
Number of concurrently pending promises returned by `tester`.
##### preserveOrder
Type: `boolean`<br>
Default: `true`
Preserve `input` order when searching.
Disable this to improve performance if you don't care about the order.
