I am currently generating a few requests using the npm package request
like this:
for (var i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {
var options = {
url: '...',
headers: {
'...'
}
};
function callback(error, response, body) {
};
request(options, callback);
}
function toBeCalledWhenAllRequestsHaveFinished() {
}
I just don't know how to call toBeCalledWhenAllRequestsHaveFinished()
only once all requests have finished.
What should be done ?
I would highly recommend using node-fetch
package.
Reference to the original poster
node-fetch
using npm install node-fetch --save
.
Make a promise-returning fetch that resolves to JSON
const fetch = require('node-fetch');
function fetchJSON(url) {
// Add options
var options = {
headers: {
'...'
}
};
return fetch(url, options).then(response => response.json());
}
Build an array of promises from an array of URLs
let urls = [url1, url2, url3, url4];
let promises = urls.map(url => fetchJSON(url));
Call toBeCalledWhenAllRequestsHaveFinished()
when all promises are resolved.
Promise.all(promises).then(responses => toBeCalledWhenAllRequestsHaveFinished(responses));
