JavaScript async await doesn't work inside forEach loop

Question

I have few queries to a database which I want to gather into a transaction.

let t = await db.sequelize.transaction()
  try {
    let adr = await addressRepo.add(address, t)
    let user = await userRepo.add(email, password, name, surname, phone, NIP, REGON, id_number, adr.id, t)
    await userRoleRepo.add(user.id, user_role, t)
    if (languages != null) {
      languages.forEach(async function (language) {
        await userLanguageRepo.add(user.id, language.id, language.main, t)
      })
    }
    await t.commit()
    res.status(201).json(user)
  } catch (error) {
    await t.rollback()
}

According to above code, the transaction is created and all queries are included except of those in forEach loop. As a result I get:

Executing (fb270893-9146-43b7-a35e-8960ea386513): START TRANSACTION;

I looked at async commit is execute before forEach loop. How can I execute forEach loop before commit?

Answer 1

Instead of forEach one should use for of loop.

I found the answer at this post.
