API

pSome(input, options)

Returns a cancelable Promise that is fulfilled when count promises from input are fulfilled. The fulfilled value is an Array of the values from the input promises in the order they were fulfilled. If it becomes impossible to satisfy count, for example, too many promises rejected, it will reject with an AggregateError error.

If you pass in cancelable promises, specifically promises with a .cancel() method, that method will be called for the promises that are still unfulfilled when the returned Promise is either fulfilled or rejected.
