I'm developing a Node.js app and I'm using Vorpal commands. I'm trying to send a value from the command to a function but i can't get it to work. Am I doing anything wrong?
Here is the code:
vorpal
.command('rollto <num>', 'Rolls to')
.action(function(num) {
rollto(num);
});
function rollto(num) {
bettime = bettimems % 60;
socket.emit('betting', bettime);
timer1 = setInterval(function () {
bettime--;
socket.emit('betting', bettime);
if (bettime == 0) {
socket.emit('random number', num);
console.log("Rolled to:" + num + "!!!");
clearInterval(timer1);
}
}, 1000);
}
The problem is that the function you pass to command's action
has different arguments than you assume.
Here is the relevant part from docs:
.command.action(function)
This is the action execution function of a given command.
It passes in an arguments object and callback.
Actions are executed async and must either call the passed
callback upon completion or return a Promise.
And here is a working example:
var vorpal = require('vorpal')();
vorpal
.command('rollto <num>', 'Rolls to')
.action(function(arguments, callback) {
rollto(arguments, callback);
});
function rollto(arguments, callback) {
var num = arguments.num; // get 'num' parameter from arguments
timer1 = setInterval(function () {
console.log('test');
console.log(num);
clearInterval(timer1);
callback(); // Don't forget to use callback() to notify vorpal
}, 1000);
}
vorpal
.delimiter('myapp$')
.show();
Note that you actually have an async code inside setInterval, so you need to use callback() at the end to notify vorpal that processing is finished.
