I can be considered new to Node.JS so apologies, in here I am trying to make a function that yields code execution until the code finished making a HTTP request (using the "request" npm module) which then will be returned, the issue is that the library does not yield the code execution, I have tried using promise but it still won't yield code execution.
Original code:
const request = require("request")
// CONFIG
const ROBLOSECURITY = ""
var http_header = {
"Cookie": ".ROBLOSECURITY="+ROBLOSECURITY
}
function MakeRbxReq(http_method, url, payload) {
var jsonbody
var retfunc = {}
try {
jsonbody = JSON.stringify(payload)
} finally {}
var options = {
uri: "http://" + url,
body: jsonbody || "",
methpd: http_method,
headers: http_header
}
request(options, function(_, res) {
if (http_method.toUpperCase() == "POST" || http_method.toUpperCase() == "PUT" || http_method.toUpperCase() == "PATCH" || http_method.toUpperCase() == "DELETE") {
if (res.headers["X-CSRF-TOKEN"]) {
http_header["X-CSRF-TOKEN"] = res.headers["X-CSRF-TOKEN"]
options["headers"] = http_header
if (res.statusCode == 403) {
request(options, function(_, res) {
retfunc = {statusCode: res.statusCode, body: res.body}
})
} else {
retfunc = {statusCode: res.statusCode, body: res.body}
}
}
}
retfunc = {
statusCode: res.statusCode,
body: res.body
}
return
})
return retfunc
}
console.log(MakeRbxReq("GET", "search.roblox.com/catalog/json?CatalogContext=2&Subcategory=6&SortType=3&SortAggregation=5&Category=6"))
Promise attempt:
const request = require("request")
// CONFIG
const ROBLOSECURITY = ""
var http_header = {
"Cookie": ".ROBLOSECURITY="+ROBLOSECURITY
}
function MakeRbxReq(http_method, url, payload) {
var jsonbody
var retfunc = {}
try {
jsonbody = JSON.stringify(payload)
} finally {}
var options = {
uri: "http://" + url,
body: jsonbody || "",
methpd: http_method,
headers: http_header
}
async function req() {
let reqPromise = new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
request(options, function(err, res) {
console.log("resolving")
resolve({statusCode: res.statusCode, body: res.body})
})
})
}
req()
return retfunc
}
console.log(MakeRbxReq("GET", "search.roblox.com/catalog/json?CatalogContext=2&Subcategory=6&SortType=3&SortAggregation=5&Category=6"))
Output from using promise:
