I have a async function that waits for an axios call to complete before proceeding. The problem is that I need to put a timeout on the axios call to half a second so that I don't hit the shopify API call limit.
async function processMatchingSchools(customer_metafield_url) {
for (const item of customer_metafield_url) {
await axios.get(item).then((res) => {
for (key in res.data.metafields) {
if (res.data.metafields[key].value === schoolName) {
id_for_each_student.push(shopifyAdmin + "/customers/" + res.data.metafields[key].owner_id + "/metafields.json")
}
}
})
}
console.log("Customer metafields to search", id_for_each_student)
processOwnerIds(id_for_each_student)
}
when I try putting a setTimeout, it calls the setTimeout and moves on before completing the axios calls.
async function processMatchingSchools(customer_metafield_url) {
for (const item of customer_metafield_url) {
await setTimeout(function(item) {
axios.get(item).then((res) => {
for (key in res.data.metafields) {
if (res.data.metafields[key].value === schoolName) {
id_for_each_student.push(shopifyAdmin + "/customers/" + res.data.metafields[key].owner_id + "/metafields.json")
}
}
})
}, 500)
}
console.log("Customer metafields to search", id_for_each_student)
processOwnerIds(id_for_each_student)
}
Any help?
await
only works on promises. You need to wrap setTimeout
in a promise:
const waitFor = delay => new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, delay));
await waitFor(500);
setTimeout()
doesn't return a Promise
, but you can wrap it in one like this. I also cleaned up the rest of your code a little.
async function processMatchingSchools(customer_metafield_url) {
for (const item of customer_metafield_url) {
await new Promise(resolve => {
setTimeout(resolve, 500)
})
await axios.get(item).then((res) => {
Object.values(res.data.metafields).filter(
({ value }) => value === schoolName
).forEach(({ owner_id }) => {
id_for_each_student.push(`${shopifyAdmin}/customers/${owner_id}/metafields.json`)
})
})
}
console.log("Customer metafields to search", id_for_each_student)
processOwnerIds(id_for_each_student)
}
Create a sleep
function that returns a promise that you can use, like so:
const sleep = (milliseconds=500) => new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, milliseconds))
And to use it in an async function:
(async () => {
console.log("function invoked...")
await sleep(500)
console.log("I got here about 500 milliseconds later")
})()
setTimeout does not return a promise so cannot be await
ed.
You could create your own promise-based setTimeout
and use that.
const setTimeoutPromise = timeout => new Promise(resolve => {
setTimeout(resolve, timeout);
});
await setTimeoutPromise(500);
You need to to create new promise for example like that
function delay(ms){
return new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, ms))
}
And then use it in your code before calling API
...
await delay(500)
await axios.get(item).then((res) => {
