I am trying to create a route in Node.js/Express that reads data from two queries and then increments a count based on that data from the queires. Since Node.js is asynchronous my total is displayed before all the data has been read.
I created a simple example that gets to the point of what I am currently doing
var express = require('express');
var router = express.Router();
var total = 0;
/* GET home page. */
router.get('/', function(req, res, next) {
increment(3);
increment(2);
console.log(total);
res.end();
});
var increment = function(n){
//Wait for n seconds before incrementing total n times
setTimeout(function(){
for(i = 0; i < n; i++){
total++;
}
}, n *1000);
};
module.exports = router;
I'm not sure what I would have to do in order to wait until both functions finish before I print the total. Would I have to create a custom Event Emitter to achieve this?
Embrace asynchronicity:
var express = require('express');
var router = express.Router();
var total = 0;
/* GET home page. */
router.get('/', function(req, res, next) {
increment(3, function() { // <=== Use callbacks
increment(2, function() {
console.log(total);
res.end();
});
});
});
var increment = function(n, callback){ // <=== Accept callback
//Wait for n seconds before incrementing total n times
setTimeout(function(){
for(i = 0; i < n; i++){
total++;
}
callback(); // <=== Call callback
}, n *1000);
};
module.exports = router;
Or use a promises library, or use events. In the end, they're all asynchronous callback mechanisms with slightly different semantics.
You can use some library like async .
Here is the code:
var total = 0;
/* GET users listing. */
router.get('/', function(req, res) {
async.series([
function(callback){
increment(2, function(){
callback(null, "done");
});
},
function(callback){
increment(3, function(){
callback(null, "done");
});
}
],
function(err, result){
console.log(total);
res.send('respond the result:' + total);
});
});
var increment = function(n, callback){
//Wait for n seconds before incrementing total n times
setTimeout(function(){
for(var i = 0; i < n; i++){
total++;
}
callback();
}, n *1000);
};
