如何在 javascript 中等待 function 完成？

Question

How to wait for function to finish in JavaScript? I have 2 functions updateSeason and updateFixtures and I want to wait for first one to finish before run next one.

Both my functions are async and they working perfectly fine. Only problem is if I do not use setTimeout I need to run it twice because updateFixture run before updateSeason finish and there is still no file for fucntion to fetch on first run.

updateData

const updateData = async () => {
  await updateSeason();
  await updateFixtures();
};

updateSeason

    // UPDATE SEASON
const updateSeason = async () => {
  // SEASONS TEMPLATE
  let seasonsTemplate = {
    timestamp: new Date(),
    season: null,
    leagues: [],
  };

  // FETCH LEAGUES INFO
  const leagues = await fetch(url + "leagues?subscribed=true&" + key)
    .then((response) => response.json())
    .then((data) => data.data);

  // MAP THROUGH LEAGUES
  leagues.map(async (league) => {
    const id = `${league.league_id}&`;

    // FETCH SEASONS INFO
    const seasons = await fetch(url + "seasons?league_id=" + id + key)
      .then((response) => response.json())
      .then((data) => data.data);

    // MAP THROUGH LEAGUES & POPULATE SEASONS TEMPLATE
    seasons.map((season) => {
      if (season.is_current) {
        seasonsTemplate.season = `${moment(season.start_date).format("YYYY")}_${moment(season.end_date).format("YYYY")}`;
        seasonsTemplate.leagues.push({
          country_id: season.country_id,
          league_id: league.league_id,
          league_name: league.name,
          season_id: season.season_id,
          start_date: season.start_date,
          end_date: season.end_date,
        });
      }
    });

    // CHECK / CREATE SEASON FOLDER
    const currentSeasonFolder = `./data/${seasonsTemplate.season}`;
    if (!existsSync(currentSeasonFolder)) {
      await mkdir(currentSeasonFolder);
      await mkdir(`${currentSeasonFolder}/matches`);
    }

    // CREATE / UPDATE SEASON FILES
    await writeFile("./data/current_season.json", JSON.stringify(seasonsTemplate));
    await writeFile(`${currentSeasonFolder}/season.json`, JSON.stringify(seasonsTemplate));

    console.log(`${league.name} updated...`);
  });
};

updateFixtures

    // UPDATE FIXTURES
    const updateFixtures = async () => {
      // FIXTURES TEMPLATE
      let fixturesTemplate = {
        timestamp: new Date(),
        season: null,
        fixtures: [],
      };
    
      // FETCH CURRENT SEASON INFO
      const season = await fetch(api + "current_season.json").then((response) => response.json());
    
      // POPULATE FIXTURES TEMPLATE SEASON
      fixturesTemplate.season = season.season;
    
      // MAP THROUGH LEAGUES
      season.leagues.map(async (league) => {
        const id = `${league.season_id}&`;
    
        // FETCH COMPETITION FIXTURES
        const fixtures = await fetch(url + "matches?season_id=" + id + key)
          .then((response) => response.json())
          .then((data) => data.data);
    
       

 // MAP THROUGH FIXTURES & POPULATE FIXTURES TEMPLATE
    fixtures.map((match) => {
      if ((match.home_team.team_id === teamId || match.away_team.team_id === teamId) && match.status !== "postponed") {
        fixturesTemplate.fixtures.push({
          match_timestamp: new Date(match.match_start_iso).getTime(),
          match_start: match.match_start_iso,
          match_id: match.match_id,
          status: match.status === "" ? "notstarted" : match.status,
          home_team: getTeamName(match.home_team.team_id),
          home_short: getShortName(match.home_team.team_id),
          away_team: getTeamName(match.away_team.team_id),
          away_short: getShortName(match.away_team.team_id),
        });
      }
    });

    // SORT FIXTURES BY DATE IN ASCENDING ORDER
    fixturesTemplate.fixtures.sort((a, b) => a.match_timestamp - b.match_timestamp);

    // CREATE / UPDATE FIXTURES FILES
    const currentSeasonFolder = `./data/${season.season}`;
    await writeFile(currentSeasonFolder + "/fixtures.json", JSON.stringify(fixturesTemplate));

    console.log("Fixtures updated...");
  });
};

UPDATE:

Issue was inside functions itself. async Array.prototype.map repleaced with for loop in both functions updateSeason and updateFixtures and now is working

Answer 1

Why not just,

async function updateData() {
  await updatedSeason();
  await updateFixtures()
}

updateData();

Answer 2

You can just use async/await for your defined functions, even if you cannot use 'await' keyword outside an async function.

So, for example, you have a index.js file, you can do:

async function main() {
  await updateSeason();
  await updateFixtures();
}

main()

or invoking directly the function with the short form

(async function main() {
  await updateSeason();
  await updateFixtures();
})()

Anyway, avoid to use 'writeFileSync' or other 'Sync' functions inside an async function because that block the event loop and decrease your performance.

EDIT: I saw now that you are using Array.prototype.map function with an async callback, that could be the problem.

Try to look here: https://flaviocopes.com/javascript-async-await-array-map/

Or, otherwise, use a standard for loop to handle your leagues

Answer 3

You forgot to put "await" before the function

const updateData = async () => {
  // Add await before the functions because they are async functions
  await updateSeason()       
  await updateFixtures()
};

Answer 4

Async Await can help you out here since they are both async functions.

const updateData = async () => {
  await updateSeason();
  await updateFixtures();
};
